Which AWS service can be used to establish a dedicated private network connection?
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)Define and launch AWS resources in a logically isolated virtual network Show
Secure and monitor connections, screen traffic, and restrict instance access inside your virtual
network. Spend less time setting up, managing, and validating your virtual network. Customize your virtual network by choosing your own IP address range, creating subnets, and configuring route tables. How it worksAmazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) gives you full control over your virtual networking environment, including resource placement, connectivity, and security. Get started by setting up your VPC in the AWS service console. Next, add resources to it such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances. Finally, define how your VPCs communicate with each other across accounts, Availability Zones, or AWS Regions. In the example below, network traffic is being shared between two VPCs within each Region.

With AWS Direct Connect, you pay only for what you use and there is no minimum fee. There are no setup charges, and you may cancel at any time. However, services provided by your AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partners or other local service provider may have other terms that apply. Once you have linked your locations to AWS Direct Connect, you can send data between them using SiteLink. When using SiteLink, data travels over the shortest path between locations. The SiteLink feature is off by default and can be turned on or off at any time. Pricing componentsWhen connecting to resources running in any AWS Region (such as an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud or AWS Transit Gateway), there are three factors that determine pricing: capacity, port hours, and data transfer out (DTO). Capacity is the maximum rate that data can be transferred through a network connection. The capacity of AWS Direct Connect connections are measured in megabit per second (Mbps) or gigabit per second (Gbps). One gigabit per second, or 1 Gbps, is equal to 1,000 megabits per second (1,000 Mbps). Port hours measure the time that a port is provisioned for your use with AWS, or an AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partner’s, networking equipment inside an AWS Direct Connect location. Even when no data is passing through the port, you are charged for port hours. Port hour pricing is determined by the connection type: dedicated or hosted. Dedicated connections are physical connections between your network port and an AWS network port inside an AWS Direct Connect location. Dedicated port hours are billed as long as that port is provisioned for your use. You request a dedicated connection through the AWS Direct Connect section of the AWS Management Console. Hosted connections are logical connections that an AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partner provisions on your behalf. When using hosted connections, you connect to the AWS network using one of the partner’s ports. You request a hosted connection by contacting an AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partner directly. Data transfer out (DTO) refers to the cumulative network traffic that is sent through AWS Direct Connect to destinations outside of AWS. This is charged per gigabyte (GB), and unlike capacity measurements, DTO refers to the amount of data transferred, not the speed. When calculating DTO, exact pricing depends on the AWS Region or AWS Local Zone, and the AWS Direct Connect location, you are using (see tables below). Data transfer in refers to network traffic that is sent into AWS from outside, over AWS Direct Connect. AWS Direct Connect data transfer in is charged at 0.00 USD per GB in all locations. Except as otherwise noted, our prices are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. For customers with a Japanese billing address, use of the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region is subject to Japanese
Consumption Tax. Learn more. Connecting between locations using SiteLinkWhen sending network traffic from one AWS Direct Connect point of presence (PoP) to another, such as when you want to connect two or more data centers or branch offices, there are two factors that determine the additional cost: SiteLink hours and SiteLink data transfer. SiteLink hours reflect the number of hours an AWS Direct Connect virtual interface (VIF) has the SiteLink feature enabled. SiteLink data transfer refers to the amount of data flowing between AWS Direct Connect locations and you pay per gigabyte (GB). SiteLink data transfer rates change depending on the source and destination of the network traffic. For example, data sent from Europe to Canada is charged at a different rate than data sent from Europe to India. Port hours: Dedicated ConnectionsPort hour pricing for dedicated connections is consistent across all AWS Direct Connect locations globally, except in Japan. The table below lists the port hour price by dedicated connection capacity selected. Port hours: Hosted ConnectionsContact an AWS Direct Connect Partner to
order Hosted Connections. Hosted Connection port hour pricing is consistent across all AWS Direct Connect locations globally with the exception of Japan. The table below lists the port hour price by hosted connection capacity selected. Data transfer out (DTO) pricing for AWS Direct ConnectDTO pricing is dependent on the source AWS Region and AWS Direct Connect location. Start by choosing your AWS Direct
Connect location from the relevant tab below to get USD per GB pricing for data transferred out from each AWS Region to an AWS Direct Connect location. Or, if you prefer, the full data transfer pricing table is available. If you are using an AWS Direct Connect gateway, you will pay applicable DTO data rates based on the AWS Region that is
the source of the traffic and AWS Direct Connect location where it is connected.
Data transfer in pricing for AWS Direct ConnectData transfer in is $0.00 per gigabyte at all Direct Connect locations. Regional Summary - Data transfer out (DTO) pricing for AWS Direct ConnectSiteLink hoursYou pay a fixed rate of $0.50 USD per hour for each VIF with SiteLink enabled. This is true for all locations, connection speeds, and connection types, and you pay for SiteLink hours even when no data is sent or received.

Pricing examplesExample 1: An important workload that requires high resiliencyYou work for a medium-sized manufacturing company that has migrated its inventory management system to AWS. This system is important to your ongoing operations but doesn’t need to process transactions in real time. Your monthly AWS Direct Connect bill will be the sum of port hour and data transfer charges. Calculating monthly port hour charges for AWS Direct Connect Let’s assume that, following the
AWS Direct Connect resiliency recommendations, you worked with an AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partner to deploy a highly resilient architecture. This involved setting up one port at two separate AWS Direct Connect locations (one in Chicago, IL and a second in Columbus, OH). Both of these locations are associated with the US
East (Ohio) AWS Region. At each location, you are always connected to a 2 Gbps (gigabit per second) Hosted port, even when no data is being sent or received.
Calculating monthly data transfer charges for AWS Direct Connect The source of your traffic is an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance inside an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) running in the US East (Ohio) Region. This EC2 instance sends 1 terabyte of data out of AWS each month and receives 2 terabytes of data from outside AWS.

Example 2: A workload that requires maximum resiliencyYou are in charge of the global network for an up-and-coming gaming company and you must design for maximum resiliency. As in the preceding example, your monthly AWS Direct Connect bill will be the sum of the port hour and data transfer charges generated by your workload. Calculating monthly port hour
charges for AWS Direct Connect
Calculating monthly data transfer charges for AWS Direct Connect Your outgoing traffic comes from 10 large Amazon VPCs located in the US East (Ohio) Region that transfer 400 TB of data out of AWS and on to your customers each month. Over the same period, 1 PB of data is sent to these VPCs from outside AWS using your AWS Direct Connect connections.
Data transferred into AWS Total AWS Direct Connect charges for example #2
Example 3: SiteLinkImagine that your organization has deployed AWS Direct Connect at locations in New York and Amsterdam. In addition to sending data to resources inside AWS Regions over these connections, you want to send data between them using SiteLink. The additional cost is the sum of SiteLink hours and SiteLink data transfer. Calculating SiteLink hours Assume that,
in an average month, SiteLink is active full time on two virtual interfaces (VIF) at each location, even when data is not flowing across the connection. Two VIF are used to increase resiliency.
Calculating SiteLink data transfer Last month, your location in New York sent 60 TB of data to Amsterdam. In return, Amsterdam sent 40 TB of data to New York.
Total SiteLink charges Based on these assumptions, $4,347.68 USD is added to your monthly bill for SiteLink (in addition to your other AWS Direct Connect charges).
