AWS announces AWS Interconnect - last mile new partner with AT&T in gated preview

AWS launches AWS Interconnect - last mile, a fully managed connectivity offering that allows customers to connect their branch offices, data centers, and remote locations to AWS with just a few clicks, eliminating the friction and complexity of network setup. Now with AT&T in gated preview, AWS Interconnect - last mile combines AWS cloud innovation with AT&T’s extensive network footprint to redefine how businesses connect to the cloud.

Customers can instantly establish private, high-speed connections to AWS by simply choosing their preferred AWS Region, bandwidth speed, Direct Connect Gateway ID and partner subscriber ID. Once initiated, AWS generates an activation key to complete provisioning with AT&T. The launch simplifies the connectivity experience by pre-provisioning capacity and automating complex network configuration including BGP peering, VLAN configuration, and ASN assignment. Customers can benefit from zero down-time maintenance. The service is designed for high availability and backed by SLA.

AWS Interconnect - last mile is available as a gated preview with AT&T for customers in the US starting today. Partners can also easily adopt via a published open API package on GitHub. For more information, see the AWS Interconnect - last mile documentation and request access here.
