# Network Manager Connection

Network Manager Connection in AWS represents a link between two devices or sites within AWS Network Manager. It helps define and manage the connectivity between customer gateways, transit gateways, or core network edges, enabling centralized control of global network topologies. This resource is used to model and monitor the logical connections that form part of a global network managed through AWS Network Manager.
