AWS Direct Connect now exposes Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes for private, transit, and public virtual interfaces, showing routes accepted from and advertised to customers' routers with detailed attributes like AS path and BGP community. This feature assists network administrators in troubleshooting, verifying route propagation, and monitoring hybrid connectivity across multi-region architectures.
Route data is accessible via the Direct Connect console and API, supporting filters by prefix, AS path, community, and address family. The capability is offered across all commercial and AWS China Regions and aims to streamline BGP policy validation and diagnose traffic anomalies within customer network topologies.
