❏ Manually order a 10Gbps or 1Gbps service from
AWS
❏ Manually order co-location or a Hosted
Connection from a participating AWS Direct
Connect Partner
❏ Cost, contract and setup of:
❏ Co-location or coordination of layer 2
connection configuration with AWS Direct
Connect Partner
❏ Virtual Interface settings for eBGP peering
for route exchange with your internal
network
Depending on your deployment approach the following may be
required:
Do-it-Yourself (DIY) Nuvem Networks NaaS Platform
