AWS re:Invent 2017: Deep Dive: AWS Direct Connect and VPNs (NET403)

As enterprises move to the cloud, robust connectivity is often an early consideration. AWS Direct Connect provides a more consistent network experience for accessing your AWS resources, typically with greater bandwidth and reduced network costs. This session dives deep into the features of AWS Direct Connect and VPNs. We discuss deployment architectures and the process from start to finish. We show you how to configure public and private virtual interfaces, configure routers, use VPN backup, and provide secure communication between sites by using the AWS VPN CloudHub.

at 11:50 why DX link says Private VIF when connected to VGW ? Ideally it should be DX Public VIF no ?

[@chetanhanda]

Good question .. The DX link is labelled as "private" when it's connected to a VGW because the VGW is for private use only. VGW only allows connectivity to private VPC and therefore only allows private VIF's to connect to it. A DX public VIF cannot connect to a VGW(always private) ; a DX public VIF can only connect to public AWS service(e.g. EC2 with public Elastic IP) or public gateway like S3. Does this answer your query ?

Why does reinvent videos have codes like NET403, 303, or 101. What do they actually mean? Does it tell the depth of the video?
