FAQs

Lumen Cloud Interconnect provides automated, private Layer 3 connectivity between your locations and a cloud service provider—initially AWS—using the Lumen Connectivity Fabric. Lumen automates routing and resiliency so you can activate and scale cloud connectivity with less operational complexity.

Traditional models often require manual routing configuration, multi-team coordination and customer-managed redundancy. Cloud Interconnect automates Layer 3 routing and built-in resiliency to help reduce operational burden and speed deployment.

No. Cloud Interconnect is designed to remove the operational burden of manual Layer 3 routing for cloud connectivity. Lumen automates routing and failover behind the scenes.

Connectivity can be activated in minutes through Lumen Connect or APIs (availability and timing may vary by location and eligibility).

Traffic stays on private connectivity over the Lumen Connectivity Fabric, keeping it off the public internet.

Cloud Interconnect uses built-in redundancy and automated failover to improve availability and help deliver predictable performance for critical workloads.

Organizations connecting sites or data centers to AWS that want fast activation, simple operations, built-in resiliency and bandwidth scalability for data-intensive workloads.

Yes. Cloud Interconnect is available through Lumen Connect and APIs, supporting automated provisioning and lifecycle management.

Yes. The service supports high-bandwidth, private connectivity and elastic scaling (up to 100 Gbps where available), which can help meet the demands of data-intensive workloads.

You’ll need an eligible location and cloud service provider credentials/keys. Start in the cloud service provider portal and then proceed to Lumen Connect (or APIs) and follow the guided setup; your Lumen team can help confirm availability and configuration.
