Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location in Auckland, New Zealand. By connecting your network to AWS at the new Auckland location, you gain private, direct access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and AWS Local Zones.
The Direct Connect service enables you to establish a private, physical network connection between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment. These private connections can provide a more consistent network experience than those made over the public internet. The new Direct Connect location in Auckland offers dedicated 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps connections, with MACsec encryption available for 10 Gbps.
