Info

Executive Summary

  • Cornell AWS accounts using Direct Connect will be migrated to a new network architecture in January 2023.
  • This new architecture simplifies Direct Connect configuration and management, and improves Direct Connect bandwidth and flexibility.
  • The migration process is designed to avoid interruption of Direct Connect connectivity, how brief interruptions may occur. 
  • Cornell AWS account owners/administrators will be solicited for feedback directly via email several times throughout this process. But, in most cases, this input is not required for the migration to proceed.
    • AWS accounts having VPCs using Direct Connect and with numerous subnets and route tables, or where network resources are configured by infrastructure-as-code will need to provide input to complete this migration.
  • While line items for charges to Cornell AWS accounts will change between the old and new Direct Connect architectures, the overall change in cost is negligible.
    • CIT will be paying for new costs of ~$36/mo for each customer VPC connected the new Direct Connect architecture.
