"Currently in preview, the solution combines AWS Interconnect - Multicloud with Google Cloud's Cross-Cloud Interconnect and defines an open interoperability specification that other cloud providers can also adopt. Designed to avoid managing circuits, routers, and routing configurations, the new option is intended to simplify the deployment of secure multicloud workloads, enabling customers to establish private, high-speed connectivity between Google Cloud and AWS."
"Previously, to connect cloud service providers, customers had to manually set up complex networking components including physical connections and equipment (...) This could take weeks or even months. AWS had a vision for developing this capability as a unified specification that could be adopted by any cloud service provider, and collaborated with Google Cloud to bring it to market."
AWS and Google Cloud created a joint multicloud networking option that combines AWS Interconnect - Multicloud with Google Cloud's Cross-Cloud Interconnect and defines an open interoperability specification. The solution, currently in preview, aims to avoid manual management of circuits, routers, and routing configurations and to simplify deployment of secure multicloud workloads by enabling private, high-speed connectivity between Google Cloud and AWS. The Connection Coordinator API Specification on GitHub provides an OpenAPI 3.0 symmetric API for coordinating managed L3 connectivity. The solution targets customers with distributed regional workloads or low-bandwidth needs who want cross-cloud connectivity without managing physical infrastructure. Azure is expected to join in 2026. Pricing has not been disclosed and remains a common concern.
