  • Location: Select the Direct Connect location.
  • Number of Ports: Enter the number of ports used by Direct Connect. Only available for dedicated connections.
  • Type: Select the type of the connection.
  • Capacity (bps): Select the connection capacity in bits per second.
  • Transfer from: Select the AWS region to transfer from.
  • Data out (GB): Enter the total volume of outbound data in gigabytes.

API

Use the Cloudcraft API to programmatically access and render your architecture diagrams as JSON objects.
