AWS Direct Connect is now live at two new locations in Silicon Valley and Stockholm. In Silicon Valley, AWS Direct Connect launched its third location at CoreSite SV2, Milpitas. This location is the first new location that offers logical redundancy over a single virtual interface (VIF) on a Direct Connect connection, a new capability launched last month. Logical redundancy can reduce downtime when a BGP peering session goes down due to a device failure or maintenance activity on the AWS side. CoreSite SV2, Milpitas can be found under its associated home region of US West (N. California). With Direct Connect Gateway and global public VIFs, customers can access their resources in any global AWS Region (except China).
