I work for a startup, however I have a problem because I am the sole AWS cloud engineer; I can't do that for other teams. The optimum method at the lowest possible cost is required.!

Because, I don't business support plan to ask AWS account team.

Please suggest the best approach and the most economical price.

Answer

Hi,

AWS Direct Connect (https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/) is what AWS customers usually use to have a direct, reliable, fast and secure connection to AWS cloud.

If you go VPN via Internet, you have to take extreme care of your connectivity: redundant internet access, route length to AWS network entry, etc..

I would strongly advise you to reach your AWS account team to get the best solution in terms of price and performance: they will know well teh AWS network setup in South Africa and provide relevant guidance.

Best,

Didier
