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 Ethernet Connection)
  1. In the Connection Name field, type a name for the connection you're creating.
  1. In both the From Connection Type and To Connection Type lists, select Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Hosted Connections.
  1. Fill in the information for the connection:

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

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

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

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

    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 shows pricing for the bandwidth you selected.
  1. Review your connection information and then click the I agree with the terms and conditions checkbox. (To enable the checkbox, scroll to the bottom of the terms and conditions.)
