AWS announces new AWS Direct Connect location in Herzliya, Israel

Today, AWS announced the opening of a new AWS Direct Connect location within the EdgeConnex Herzliya data center in Herzliya, Israel. By connecting your network to AWS at this location, you gain private, direct access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and AWS Local Zones. The Direct Connect service establishes a physical network connection between AWS and your data center, office, or colocation environment. These private connections can provide a more consistent network experience than those made over the public internet. The new Herzliya, Israel location is the second in Israel. Dedicated connections are available at 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps with MACsec encryption available at 10 Gbps speed.
