AWS Direct Connect - Peering VPCs to Tier 1's and MPLS

Tue Mar 1 19:37:07 UTC 2016

Not sure about AWS, but if you are a client of Dimension Data cloud, you
don't need to do anything. Everything will be taking care off from the
provider perspective. Didata will peer with your tier 1/MPLS - acts as
CPE...etc  I am pretty sure AWS does that for you as well.
Else you could spin up a CSR1000v inside the AWS and ask them to connect
you.
