File: directconnect/latest/UserGuide/resiliency_toolkit.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'AWS Direct Connect' to 'Direct Connect' in multiple sections, adjusted link titles, and maintained consistency in service naming.

Security assessment

The changes are purely terminological updates to align with branding conventions, with no indication of addressing security vulnerabilities or introducing new security features. The content focuses on resiliency and redundancy configurations rather than security controls.

-You can achieve maximum resiliency for critical workloads by using separate connections that terminate on separate devices in more than one location (as shown in the following figure). This model provides resiliency against device, connectivity, and complete location failures. The following figure shows both connections from each customer data center going to the same AWS Direct Connect locations. You can optionally have each connection from a customer data center going to different locations.
