Jay, VPC is supported over IPsec if your public path is sufficient into the AWS cloud. AWS shortens DirectConnect to DX not DC for some reason. The AWS DirectConnect service is built on 10G infrastructure so using potentially larger interconnects over public peerings with IPsec could be advantageous. DX requires fiber cross connects in addition to any other AWS peerings that you may have at a particular location. -Mike O'Connor On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at 12:16 PM, Jay R.

Just got this dropped on my desk an hour ago, and I'm not finding as much material online as I might have hoped for...
It looks like the easiest solution is to just hang a router/firewall at Equinix Ashburn and AWS-DC to that, and then peer it to carriers both IP and MPLS; is there a "native" way to do that from an AWS VPC instead?
Any public or private replies cheerfully accepted; will summarize what I can to the list.
