Direct Connect Status is just staying at ordering

In AWS Direct Connect, when a hosted connection is provisioned on an interconnect, it initially starts in the "ordering" state. After you click the accept button, you need to confirm the connection using the ConfirmConnection API action or through the AWS console.

The connection stays in the "ordering" state until the owner of the hosted connection (you) confirms or declines the connection order. Once confirmed, the connection should transition to the "pending" state as it's being initialized, and eventually to "available" when the network link is up and ready for use.

To resolve this issue:

1. Make sure you've fully completed the confirmation process for the hosted connection
2. Contact your Direct Connect Partner to ensure they've completed all necessary steps on their end
3. If the issue persists, you may need to check with AWS Support as there might be a technical issue with the connection provisioning

The normal progression of states for a hosted connection should be: ordering → pending → available (when the network link is up).
