Direct Connect

The VMware NSX version available with VMware Cloud on AWS has a number of features that were specifically developed for the service and are not available on any other NSX deployment. One of the most important is the ability to attach a DX Virtual Interface (VIF) directly from the NSX web interface.

While a thoughtful discussion about different DX design and deployment configurations is outside of the scope of this book, we still would like to mention a few important things to consider when using DX connectivity with a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC:

  • Both public and private VIFs are supported. However, only a private VIF can be used for hybrid cloud connectivity
  • Attachment to a DX gateway through Transit Connect is supported
  • You can use AWS-provided DX connectivity or opt for a cloud connectivity provider
  • DX information is located on the Networking tab in the Direct Connect menu item:
