allocate_hosted_connection#

DirectConnect.Client.allocate_hosted_connection(**kwargs)#

Creates a hosted connection on the specified interconnect or a link aggregation group (LAG) of interconnects.

Allocates a VLAN number and a specified amount of capacity (bandwidth) for use by a hosted connection on the specified interconnect or LAG of interconnects. Amazon Web Services polices the hosted connection for the specified capacity and the Direct Connect Partner must also police the hosted connection for the specified capacity.

Note

Intended for use by Direct Connect Partners only.

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    Information about an Direct Connect connection.

    • ownerAccount (string) –

      The ID of the Amazon Web Services account that owns the connection.

      • pending: The connection has been approved and is being initialized.

      • available: The network link is up and the connection is ready for use.

      • down: The network link is down.

      • deleting: The connection is being deleted.

      • deleted: The connection has been deleted.

      • rejected: A hosted connection in the ordering state enters the rejected state if it is deleted by the customer.

      • unknown: The state of the connection is not available.

    • region (string) –
