Routing between AWS Local Zones with Megaport featuring Kevin Dresser

AWS Local Zones are game-changers for boosting performance and resiliency, but did you know connecting them efficiently is key?

Here's what you need to know:
🔍 The Problem: Local Zones in the same metro connect via their parent region, causing latency spikes (up to 80ms in some cases!).
✨ The Solution: Use Megaport’s Cloud Router (MCR) and AWS Direct Connect to build a private, low-latency interconnect – cutting latency by 10x (down to 8ms).

Benefits:
✅ Avoid "hairpin" routing through parent regions.
✅ Scale bandwidth on-demand (10 Mbps to 10 Gbps).
✅ Fully software-defined for seamless adjustments.

If you’re investing in AWS Local Zones, make sure your network delivers the low-latency and resiliency you’re paying for. 🖥️
