East-West traffic routing between AWS Local Zones using Megaport’s Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)
AWS Local Zones offer low-latency access to AWS services for customers in metropolitan areas. As Local Zones adoption increases, customers can design highly available architectures by using Local Zones. By leveraging Megaport’s Cloud Router and Virtual Cross Connects, customers can optimize east-west traffic between Local Zones, reducing latency. This enables them to build resilient, high-performance architectures with improved network connectivity between Local Zones for their applications without having to route through parent regions.
