AWS Direct Connect
AWS Direct Connect allows you to create a dedicated network line between your private network and one Direct Connect location. Once you have enabled Direct Connect connectivity in your AWS account, you can establish connectivity with your AWS VPC or an on-premises data center. This connectivity can be set up with the help of MuleSoft’s support team. Direct Connect uses BGP for dynamic routing:
