Site-to-Site VPN
- Used to create a Hybrid Setup
- Connect on on-premise VPN to AWS.
- unlike private link, this connect on-prem server and not any VPC/3rd Party Amazon Stuff.
- Goes over Public Internet
Direct Connect (DX)
- Establish a Physical Connection.
- Connection is Private, Secure & Fast
- Goes over private Network
- A bit more expensive due to physical connection.
- Takes atleast a month to establish.
- Dedicated Fibre optics needs to be layed underground! in order to make this connection
- We require a customer gateway in on-prem data center to interact with a Virtual Private Gateway in order to establish a site-to-site VPN.
NOTE: For site-to-site VPN we require 2 components: Customer Gateway & Virtual Private Gateway!
