Question

A media company runs an on-premises rendering farm connected to AWS through a 10 Gbps Direct Connect connection. They currently upload large render outputs to an Amazon S3 bucket in us-east-1 over the public internet, but want the traffic to traverse the Direct Connect link instead to reduce cost and improve consistency. The workload must reach S3 and other AWS public service endpoints without going through a VPC. Which Direct Connect configuration meets this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create a public virtual interface (VIF) on the Direct Connect connection and advertise the on-premises prefixes over BGP.

Answer

Create a private virtual interface (VIF) associated with a virtual private gateway attached to a VPC that has an S3 gateway endpoint.

Answer

Create a transit virtual interface (VIF) attached to a Transit Gateway and add a route to the S3 prefix list.

Answer

Create an interface VPC endpoint (PrivateLink) for S3 and route the private VIF traffic through it.
