Yes, there is an upgrade path should that become necessary.
What are the requirements for using Direct Connect?
Your AWS VPC must be using a Cornell private network registered in DNSDB and allocated specifically to your group by the Network Engineering team.
What traffic is routed through the DC?
...
- Private Subnets: AWS subnets without direct Internet access should use a route table that includes all propagated routes from the Direct Connect (includes campus 10-space and public space).
- Public Subnets: AWS subnets with direct Internet access (IGW) should use a route table that disables route propagation from Direct Connect and only includes references to campus 10-space addresses.
Can I change the traffic routed through DC?
The configuration for Cornell campus traffic routed through Direct Connect to your VPC can be altered should your needs change in the future. Moving among the routing options ("RFC 1918", "All-Campus", "Hybrid") may require a review of your subnet route tables to ensure a smooth transition without any negative side-effects.
Can Cornell AWS accounts configured to use a VPN connection be upgraded to use the DC?
Yes. Contact cloud-support@cornell.edu to request that change. The change will require a brief outage of 10-space routing so advanced planning is required so that access to your cloud-based services are not disrupted.disrupte
