Key facts
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) added AT&T’s network footprint to the hyperscaler’s managed AWS Interconnect service
- The integration ties AT&T’s network into AWS' Interconnect service for linking branch offices, data centers, and remote locations to the AWS cloud
- That expectation is further bolstered by AWS using AT&T's extensive fiber network to connect AWS data center locations
- By pairing their expanding fiber infrastructure with AWS’ cloud capabilities, and through their collaboration to deliver the infrastructure of the future by connecting data centers, they're creating
Summary
The integration ties AT&T’s network into AWS' Interconnect service for linking branch offices, data centers, and remote locations to the AWS cloud. The AWS Interconnect service is designed to ease pre-provisioning of capacity and automate network configuration, including border gateway protocol (BGP) peering, virtualized LAN (vLAN) configuration, and autonomous system number (ASN) assignment. The integration is now in a “gated preview” for customers in the US. AWS initially unveiled its Interconnect last mile service at the hyperscaler’s re:Invent show late last year.
