[@lenovox1carbon664]

U got insane level of knowledge, is most of it by experience ? or did u read this anywhere

[@AWSwithChetan]

[@evandeng6378]

Thanks for the great video. I have several questions. Could you please help me? - In the senario of DX gateway + private vif, is the bgp session built between DX gateway and customer router to exchange routes? While without DX gateway, the bgp session is built between VGW and customer router? - DX gateways and transit gateways are all virtual software routers and scale according to the volume of traffic? And what about the AWS Direct Connect Router?

[@neelamagarwal5720]

Sir please upload some more videos frequently. As I'm beginner your videos helped me alot... Sir do you take any online or offline classes?

[@satishkm5256]

Please do videos on VM migration to cloud environment

[@shivamsrivastava8886]

Wonderful explanation!!! Just having a doubt, what is the difference between aws edge location and aws direct connect??

[@AWSwithChetan]

Hi, the edge locations are small and located in cities, there are 600+ edge locations across the world. They host caching devices which are used by CloudFront (CDN) for caching static content like videos, images etc. Also they are connected to AWS region over AWS backbone network. Its an application level service to serve static content. Direct connect connects customer data center to AWS region over a dedicated high speed network. For this there are around 200+ DirectConnect locations across the world where you should terminate the physical links from your datacenter. So both edge locations and direct connect are different.

[@shivamsrivastava8886]

​@@AWSwithChetan Thank you so much for the clarification

[@blockchain_bull]

Through the video, I have a few questions. please help me. - Direct connect is a physical connection, so on the on-premiss side do you have to plug in dedicated physical devices for direct connect? After ordering direct connection, what do you need to do locally to complete the connection creation on the local side?

[@AWSwithChetan]

Direct connect ordering allocates a router inside DX facility. From that router you have to setup a dedicated physical connection to your on-premise router. Typically you will work with your network service provider for this last mile connectivity.

[@glennadams7047]

Great video. To connect to the S3, can you not use the VPC Gateway Endpoint instead of the interface endpoint ?

[@AWSwithChetan]

Hi there, No, gateway endpoints can only be used for the traffic originating from within the VPC. In this case of DX you can instead use VPC interface endpoint to access S3.

[@seetsamolapo5600]

Is the virtual private gateway provisioned in the AWS public network or the AWS private network?

[@akashgavali1637]

please make more videos... You have been inactive for a long time :(

[@themarksman1]

Transit GW can’t connect VPCs in different region, I suppose.

[@AWSwithChetan]

That’s right

[@ZiiiP2142]

Thanks.
