AWS Direct Connect is a networking service that establishes a dedicated, private physical connection between an on-premises data center and AWS, bypassing the public internet. It offers more consistent network performance, reduced latency, and often lower data transfer costs than internet-based connections. Network engineers and enterprises with hybrid cloud architectures use it for reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity to AWS.
