AWS Direct Connect now supports AWS CloudFormation

Posted on: Mar 31, 2026

AWS Direct Connect now supports AWS CloudFormation, enabling infrastructure-as-code provisioning of Direct Connect resources. This integration allows you to define your entire Direct Connect topology in CloudFormation templates alongside other AWS resources, enabling repeatable, version-controlled deployments with drift detection and change management capabilities. You can now automate creation and management of connections, virtual interfaces, Direct Connect gateways, Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), and BGP peering configurations.

CloudFormation support for Direct Connect is available in all AWS Regions globally.
