AWS announces new AWS Direct Connect location and expansion in Taipei, Republic Of China (ROC)

Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within the Chief Telecom HD data center near Taipei, ROC. By connecting your network to AWS at the new location, you gain private, direct access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and AWS Local Zones. This site is the third AWS Direct Connect location within ROC. This Direct Connect location offers dedicated 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps connections with MACsec encryption available.

AWS also announced the addition of 10Gbps and 100Gbps MACsec services in the existing Chunghwa Telecom data center near Taipei, ROC.

The Direct Connect service enables you to establish a private, physical network connection between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment. These private connections can provide a more consistent network experience than those made over the public internet.
