There are plenty Direct Connect partners that’ll be happy to take your data from NOTA in Miami to a remote AWS location.

We weren¹t particularly thrilled about the aspect of a GRE tunnel over the internet (our AWS stuff does some data manipulation) and wanted to use the Amazon Direct Connect functionality. It seems like they do this direct connect as select peering points, and there were no options for anything in Miami. It may just be easier to buy something off of the provider to run the traffic over to a colo with AWS connectivity. I¹m really just looking for sexy ways to avoid the internet as a transit route for this data (the data doesn¹t have anything to do with the internet).

I believe AWS is present on the NOTA/NAP peering fabric, and as such if one was to get access to the NOTA/NAP peering fabric they should be able to peer / pass traffic directly to them. Regards.
