Your enterprise needs to link its on-premises data center to its AWS environment in a way that reduces network costs, offers higher bandwidth, and delivers a more consistent experience than internet-based connections. Which AWS service best meets these requirements?
AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated, private link between an on-premises network and AWS. Because traffic stays on the AWS global backbone instead of traversing the public internet, organizations often see lower data-transfer costs, higher throughput, and more predictable performance. An AWS Site-to-Site VPN also secures traffic but still uses the public internet, so it cannot guarantee the same bandwidth or latency characteristics. Amazon Route 53 is a DNS service, and Amazon CloudFront is a content-delivery network; neither establishes private connectivity between a data center and AWS.
