I live in Hells Kitchen in NY. I have multiple 10Gbps Direct Connect Connections to multiple peered VPCs in multiple availability zones to connect to my datacenters and I manage the network and the security zones for at least 12VPCs. Thats on top of all the other Networking Work I do.. It's Thurs, if I felt better I would need a drink.
I don't work for AWS but probably terabits of their bandwidth is around the corner from where I'm sitting in the building I'm sitting :-) I assume it's all AWS peering feeding cross connects, not sure -- we don't peer with them. Crazy amounts of connectivity though. I think they have over 30 datacenters around the area for the whole EAST zone. Of all the datacenters in the area I actually don't know many locations of theirs (yet.) Been thinking about starting a mapping project. They're decently spread out. - Ethan
