Harian, and welcome back now in today's we will be discussing about the WATCHIT interface, so at this
stage, let's assume that your direct connect line is established.
So you're networking related aspects are already completed.
So now the question that comes is what is the next step?
Now, do know that Darick and I can not only allow you to connect to the resources like easy two instances
that are part of the BBC, but you can also go ahead and connect to various public services like ETHE
and various others.
Now, if you look into the general flow on the right hand side, you have a customer network.
So let's assume that this is your data center.
So what do you do?
You go ahead and connect your role with that of the established direct connect end point that is available.
So this is basically the direct connect location.
So you connect both of them.
And Trouillot, you can go ahead and connect to various eatables resources.
Now, depending upon your requirements and the database resource that you want to connect to, the next
important step is to go ahead and create the virtual interfaces.
So, for example, let's say that your line is established and you want to go ahead and primarily connect
to only the two instances.
So then you will have to go ahead and create a private virtual interface.
If you want to go ahead and connect to various public services, then you will have to create a public
virtual interface and so on.
So there are three primary types of virtual interfaces public, private and transit.
So from the name it says, it becomes easier for us to understand.
Public virtual interface enables us to access the public services like S3 and others that are not within
the website.
If you want to connect to the resources that are part of the Webcke like two instances, you go ahead
and create a private virtual interface.
You also have a transit virtual interface will not be discussing this in more detail.
However, this allows us to access the VPC transit gateways that are associated with the direct connect
with No.
At this stage you should know primarily the public virtual interface and the private virtual interface.
So just to realize, let's go ahead and look into the high level steps first is you go ahead and establish
or Direct Connect Connection Bergquist so you'll be specify the connection, name the location and upload
speed.
So as we're discussing in the earlier video, you give the connection name, you give the location,
you also give airports.
We'd like one Gbps and Gbps and so on.
So that is the first step.
Now, after it is created, it goes to A.W. is now established, will go ahead and ask for more information
and then it can be approved.
So after it gets approved, you get a letter of authorization.
So this is how the letter of authorization looks like.
So you'll have to download this letter of authorization and then you give it to the provider who will
be establishing the direct connection on your behalf.
Now, do note that when you are working with Direct Connect, not only you have to get your networking
team involved, but your daughter also connects with that of the AWB.
So there is also an intermediary networking team that gets involved here.
And that is the reason why you need to have the letter of authorization.
If you do not have that, then you will not be able to proceed further in establishing the networking
aspects so it can take up to three working days for the lawyer to be approved on the IWC.
Now, after the alloy has been approved and your connection has been integrated, the next step is to
go ahead and create a virtual interface.
As we're discussing, there are three primary types.
You have a private, you have a public and you have a transect.
So let me quickly show you this.
Now, within the Direct Connect console, you have a tab for virtual interface.
So if you click on Create Virtual Interface, you see that there are three virtual interface type private
public transit.
Now, also, one important part to remember is that the virtual interface can be associated with a direct
connect gateway or virtual private gateway.
If you go back down, you will have to associate.
So if you look into the gateway type, you have a direct connect to it which is recommended and you
also have a virtual private gateway in case if you have a virtual private gateway, it allows connection
to a single VPC in this single region.
However, that it cannot get to it allows connection to multiple pieces and regions.
And this is the reason why their data connect.
Gateway is showing, as Erica mentioned, it becomes much more easier if you use the first option.
Now, the step three is to download Baroud.
Configuration.
So after you have created a virtual interface for your direct connection, you can download the router
configuration so this router configuration depends upon the outer vendor that is being used.
So if you see that the customer's router also gets involved in the overall process of direct connect
and depending upon the vendor overorder that you use in your site, you'll have to download the configuration
accordingly.
And this file contains the necessary commands to configure your router for use with the private or public
interface.
So that's the high level overview.
Now, let's look into some of the important pointers here.
First one is that by default, though, one Chiba's Endor and Gbps connections are available.
However, not all the organization needs so fast connection here.
Now, also note that if you're using one dbase or 10, your cost will also increase accordingly.
So in case, if you do not really need such high speed, you also have an option for someone.
Gbps connection from various Direct Connect partners, which includes 50, 100, 200, 400 and 500.
Nozick an important part to notice.
The Direct Connect is not for doldrum.
So you need to either have a secondary direct connect or use VPN as a backup.
For example, let's say that you have this connection and due to some reason this direct connect location
feels so, then your entire connectivity will direct.
Connect would also fit and hence it is recommended to use various other things, like maybe a secondary
connect location or a VPN as a backup.
Third point is that in US Direct Connect will grant you access in all of the other related regions in
case you have a mix there.
That's great.
So that's the very high level overview about the virtual interfaces.
