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).

Cloud resiliency starts with your network! Your AWS deployment is packed with features like availability zones and auto-scaling for cloud resiliency. But what about the network connecting you to AWS? At Megaport, we’ve reimagined cloud connectivity to make building a resilient network as seamless as AWS makes deploying resilient infrastructure. Traditional Direct Connect: Weeks of waiting, managing redundant infrastructure, and compliance risks in regulated industries.

Developers, imagine this: You’ve automated your cloud infrastructure with Terraform—EC2 instances, VPCs, and security groups—seamlessly. But when it comes to external connectivity, you're stuck in email chains, waiting on approvals, and attending meetings. There’s a better way! With Megaport's Terraform provider, you can: Megaport’s software-defined network lets you code your connectivity just like your infrastructure—directly in your IDE with full support for your workflow.

When you're deploying a Global WAN, you don't need to wait forever for circuits or compromise on performance anymore. You can have the flexibility of the cloud and the performance of dedicated infrastructure where you want it when you want it.
