AWS Interconnect is now generally available, with a new option to simplify last-mile connectivity

AWS Interconnect is now generally available, a managed service that establishes private, high-speed network connections between AWS VPCs and other cloud providers.

• •Multicloud capability: Connects AWS directly to Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure (coming 2026), with traffic flowing entirely over private backbones, avoiding the public internet.
• •Last-mile connectivity: Simplifies high-speed private connections from branch offices, data centers, and remote locations to AWS through existing network providers.
• •Built-in security: IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encryption automatically applied on physical links between cloud providers' routers at interconnection facilities.
• •Resilient architecture: Each connection spans multiple logical links across at least two physical facilities, ensuring single device or building failure does not interrupt connectivity.
