AWS Direct Connect

2021/12/01 - AWS Direct Connect - 11 updated api methods

Changes  Adds SiteLink support to private and transit virtual interfaces. SiteLink is a new Direct Connect feature that allows routing between Direct Connect points of presence.

AllocatePrivateVirtualInterface (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}

Provisions a private virtual interface to be owned by the specified Amazon Web Services account.

Virtual interfaces created using this action must be confirmed by the owner using ConfirmPrivateVirtualInterface. Until then, the virtual interface is in the Confirming state and is not available to handle traffic.

AllocatePublicVirtualInterface (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}

Provisions a public virtual interface to be owned by the specified Amazon Web Services account.

The owner of a connection calls this function to provision a public virtual interface to be owned by the specified Amazon Web Services account.

Virtual interfaces created using this function must be confirmed by the owner using ConfirmPublicVirtualInterface. Until this step has been completed, the virtual interface is in the confirming state and is not available to handle traffic.

When creating an IPv6 public virtual interface, omit the Amazon address and customer address. IPv6 addresses are automatically assigned from the Amazon pool of IPv6 addresses; you cannot specify custom IPv6 addresses.

AssociateVirtualInterface (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}

Associates a virtual interface with a specified link aggregation group (LAG) or connection. Connectivity to Amazon Web Services is temporarily interrupted as the virtual interface is being migrated. If the target connection or LAG has an associated virtual interface with a conflicting VLAN number or a conflicting IP address, the operation fails.

Virtual interfaces associated with a hosted connection cannot be associated with a LAG; hosted connections must be migrated along with their virtual interfaces using AssociateHostedConnection.

To reassociate a virtual interface to a new connection or LAG, the requester must own either the virtual interface itself or the connection to which the virtual interface is currently associated. Additionally, the requester must own the connection or LAG for the association.

CreateBGPPeer (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'virtualInterface': {'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}}

Creates a BGP peer on the specified virtual interface.

You must create a BGP peer for the corresponding address family (IPv4/IPv6) in order to access Amazon Web Services resources that also use that address family.

If logical redundancy is not supported by the connection, interconnect, or LAG, the BGP peer cannot be in the same address family as an existing BGP peer on the virtual interface.

When creating a IPv6 BGP peer, omit the Amazon address and customer address. IPv6 addresses are automatically assigned from the Amazon pool of IPv6 addresses; you cannot specify custom IPv6 addresses.

For a public virtual interface, the Autonomous System Number (ASN) must be private or already on the allow list for the virtual interface.

Response
{'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}

Creates a private virtual interface. A virtual interface is the VLAN that transports Direct Connect traffic. A private virtual interface can be connected to either a Direct Connect gateway or a Virtual Private Gateway (VGW). Connecting the private virtual interface to a Direct Connect gateway enables the possibility for connecting to multiple VPCs, including VPCs in different Amazon Web Services Regions. Connecting the private virtual interface to a VGW only provides access to a single VPC within the same Region.

Setting the MTU of a virtual interface to 9001 (jumbo frames) can cause an update to the underlying physical connection if it wasn't updated to support jumbo frames. Updating the connection disrupts network connectivity for all virtual interfaces associated with the connection for up to 30 seconds. To check whether your connection supports jumbo frames, call DescribeConnections. To check whether your virtual interface supports jumbo frames, call DescribeVirtualInterfaces.

{'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}

Creates a public virtual interface. A virtual interface is the VLAN that transports Direct Connect traffic. A public virtual interface supports sending traffic to public services of Amazon Web Services such as Amazon S3.

When creating an IPv6 public virtual interface ( addressFamily is ipv6), leave the customer and amazon address fields blank to use auto-assigned IPv6 space. Custom IPv6 addresses are not supported.

CreateTransitVirtualInterface (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request
{'newTransitVirtualInterface': {'enableSiteLink': 'boolean'}}
Response
{'virtualInterface': {'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}}

Creates a transit virtual interface. A transit virtual interface should be used to access one or more transit gateways associated with Direct Connect gateways. A transit virtual interface enables the connection of multiple VPCs attached to a transit gateway to a Direct Connect gateway.

Setting the MTU of a virtual interface to 8500 (jumbo frames) can cause an update to the underlying physical connection if it wasn't updated to support jumbo frames. Updating the connection disrupts network connectivity for all virtual interfaces associated with the connection for up to 30 seconds. To check whether your connection supports jumbo frames, call DescribeConnections. To check whether your virtual interface supports jumbo frames, call DescribeVirtualInterfaces.

DescribeVirtualInterfaces (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'virtualInterfaces': {'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}}

Displays all virtual interfaces for an Amazon Web Services account. Virtual interfaces deleted fewer than 15 minutes before you make the request are also returned. If you specify a connection ID, only the virtual interfaces associated with the connection are returned. If you specify a virtual interface ID, then only a single virtual interface is returned.

A virtual interface (VLAN) transmits the traffic between the Direct Connect location and the customer network.

Changes (request, response)
Request
{'enableSiteLink': 'boolean', 'virtualInterfaceName': 'string'}
Response
{'siteLinkEnabled': 'boolean'}

Updates the specified attributes of the specified virtual private interface.

Setting the MTU of a virtual interface to 9001 (jumbo frames) can cause an update to the underlying physical connection if it wasn't updated to support jumbo frames. Updating the connection disrupts network connectivity for all virtual interfaces associated with the connection for up to 30 seconds. To check whether your connection supports jumbo frames, call DescribeConnections. To check whether your virtual q interface supports jumbo frames, call DescribeVirtualInterfaces.
