New Ansible Playbooks Available for Fast BGP to AWS Direct Connect

Those already using Ansible can now take advantage of templates to demonstrate configuring Layer 2 connectivity to AWS S3.

You can also follow the prerequisites in the related GitHub repo to test this as a new user.

Step 1: Use the initial template to rapidly create a project, VLAN, VRF, and prep for BGP peering on the virtual circuit.

Step 2: Finish setting up the interconnection in Fabric console manually and accept the Direct Connect request in AWS.

Step 3: Use the final playbook which takes care of deploying the VPC, the S3 VPC endpoint, the Virtual Private Gateway attached to your Direct Connect, and finally configures the end to end BGP peering.

This playbook has been added to the examples section of the Ansible Collection Equinix page.
