Episode 80: Direct Connect & VPN
31 Aug 2025
In this episode, we explore two key networking services in AWS: AWS Direct Connect and VPN (Virtual Private Network). AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection between your on-premises environment and AWS, bypassing the public internet to offer more reliable, secure, and lower-latency connectivity. We’ll walk you through how to set up Direct Connect, configure connection speeds, and link it with your VPCs for seamless data transfer between your on-premises data centers and AWS.In contrast, we’ll also cover AWS VPN, a more flexible, internet-based option for securely connecting your on-premises network to AWS. VPN is typically used when you need to establish an encrypted connection over the internet for remote users or branch offices. We’ll discuss the different types of VPN connections available in AWS, such as site-to-site VPN and client VPN, and how to configure them for secure communication. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to choose between Direct Connect and VPN based on your organization’s performance, security, and cost needs.
