Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within CDC in Canberra, Australia. By connecting your network to AWS at the new Canberra 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 Canberra offers dedicated 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps connections, with MACsec encryption available. Connection speeds less than 10 Gbps are available from AWS Direct Connect Partners.
