Direct Connect Connection Ownership Transfer

Question

My customer has got 2 Direct Connect connections(active/passive) setup in payer master account. The current state network architecture is like :-

DxCon(inside payer master) --> PrivateHostedVIF(hosted VIF to member account) --> DxGWY(inside member account)--> VGW -->VPC

AWS has been engaged to deploy the LZ solution. We would like to transfer ownership of  "DxCons" from payer master to a new network account(created via ALZ/CT).

As per the publicly available [doco][1] "DxCon transfer" can be done by opening AWS support cases. I would like to understand the impact of this DxCon transfer on current VIFs. My understanding is that VIFs have to be recreated under new network account.

Has anyone done something similar in the past ? What would be the recommended DxCon migration strategy with minimal impact on customer workloads.

**Current Org Setup Details**
At present, The customer has got 9 accounts in total with 1 Payer master and 8 member accounts. Out of the 8 member accounts, 2 accounts are prod having live workloads

Accepted Answer

You don't need to do anything with Hosted VIFs. They remain as is. From your own doco link:

> "Note: This ownership transfer is only for the DX connection. Any
> virtual interfaces associated with the DX connection are not part of
> the transfer, and remain associated with the AWS account for which
> they were created."

Done similar in the past and it is a standard procedure
