Explanation

AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection from on-premises to AWS, offering greater bandwidth and more consistent performance than internet-based connections or VPN. AWS PrivateLink enables secure, private connectivity to supported AWS services such as Kinesis Data Firehose over Direct Connect, bypassing the public internet and providing the highest throughput and lowest latency possible. This is the recommended solution for consistently transferring large volumes of data with maximum reliability and performance.
