AWS Direct Connect announces new location in Hanoi, Vietnam

Today, AWS announced the opening of a new [AWS Direct Connect](https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect) location within the CMC Tower in Hanoi, Vietnam. You can now establish private, direct network access to all public AWS Regions (except those in China), AWS GovCloud Regions, and [AWS Local Zones](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/localzones/) from this location. This site is the first AWS Direct Connect location in Vietnam. This Direct Connect location offers dedicated 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 100 Gbps connections, with MACsec encryption available for 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps connections. The Direct Connect service enables you to establish a private, 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.
