-Most large enterprise customers deploy resources within a large number of VPCs across multiple AWS Regions and require connectivity from data centers that are spread across geographies. By using an AWS Direct Connect gateway, which is a global construct, you can use existing AWS Direct Connect connections to connect to resources in VPCs across AWS Regions. You can associate up to 10 virtual private gateways (each attached to a VPC) in different AWS Regions, directly to an AWS Direct Connect gateway. Alternatively, you can create a transit VIF and attach a total of six transit gateways (each attached to thousands of VPCs) to an AWS Direct Connect gateway across AWS Regions.
