Creating a connection between two AWS Hosted Connections

You can create a Dynamic Connection between two Amazon Web Services (AWS) Hosted Connections. To create the connection, you'll need your AWS account IDs from Amazon. Be sure to have that information handy to type in (or copy/paste).

Note: With Amazon Web Services Hosted Connections, we recommend you create a redundant connection to qualify for better availability SLAs.

To create a connection between two AWS Hosted Connections:

  1. Click Orders, then click Dynamic Connections - Ethernet.

    Control Center lists all your connections with a status and brief summary for each connection.

  1. Click Create Connection.
Dynamic Connections (Create Connection)
  1. In the From Connection Type field, select Hosted Connection – Amazon Web Services (AWS).
  1. In the To Connection Type field, select Hosted Connection – Amazon Web Services (AWS).

  1. Fill in the information for the connection:

    1. From the From Location list, select where you want your connection to originate.

    2. In the first AWS Account ID field, type the account ID associated with the origination endpoint.

    3. From the To Location list, select where you want your connection to terminate.

    4. In the second AWS Account ID field, type the account ID associated with the termination endpoint.

    5. In the Billing Method field, select whether you want hourly or monthly billing.

    6. In the Class of Service field, select whether you want Basic, Enhanced, or Dedicated. (Higher classes of service offer higher availability SLAs and allow you to increase traffic prioritization for your EVC.)

    7. In the Bandwidth field, select the bandwidth for the connection.

      Control Center displays pricing for the bandwidth you selected.

    8. In the Connection Name field, type a name for the connection you're creating.
  1. Click Next.
  1. Review your connection information, then click the I agree with the terms and conditions checkbox. (To enable the checkbox, scroll to the bottom of the terms and conditions.)
  1. Click Create Connection.

    Control Center creates the request for the connection. From here, you can either view the status of your request (click the list link) or close the window (click Close) to do something else in Control Center.
