AWS announces new AWS Direct Connect location and expansion in Bangkok, Thailand

Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within the Telehouse Bangkok, Thailand data center. By connecting your network to AWS at the new Bangkok 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 second AWS Direct Connect location within Thailand. The new 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 TCC, Bangkok Direct Connect location.

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.
