2017/02/17 - AWS Direct Connect - 11 new 12 updated api methods
Changes This update will introduce the ability for Direct Connect customers to take advantage of Link Aggregation (LAG). This allows you to bundle many individual physical interfaces into a single logical interface, referred to as a LAG. This makes administration much simpler as the majority of configuration is done on the LAG while you are free to add or remove physical interfaces from the bundle as bandwidth demand increases or decreases. A concrete example of the simplification added by LAG is that customers need only a single BGP session as opposed to one session per physical connection.
Updates the attributes of a link aggregation group (LAG).
You can update the following attributes:
The name of the LAG.
The value for the minimum number of connections that must be operational for the LAG itself to be operational.
When you create a LAG, the default value for the minimum number of operational connections is zero (0). If you update this value, and the number of operational connections falls below the specified value, the LAG will automatically go down to avoid overutilization of the remaining connections. Adjusting this value should be done with care as it could force the LAG down if the value is set higher than the current number of operational connections.

Note
This is intended for use by AWS Direct Connect partners only.
Disassociates a connection from a link aggregation group (LAG). The connection is interrupted and re-established as a standalone connection (the connection is not deleted; to delete the connection, use the DeleteConnection request). If the LAG has associated virtual interfaces or hosted connections, they remain associated with the LAG. A disassociated connection owned by an AWS Direct Connect partner is automatically converted to an interconnect.
If disassociating the connection will cause the LAG to fall below its setting for minimum number of operational connections, the request fails, except when it's the last member of the LAG. If all connections are disassociated, the LAG continues to exist as an empty LAG with no physical connections.

The Direct Connection endpoint which the physical connection terminates on.
Creates a new link aggregation group (LAG) with the specified number of bundled physical connections between the customer network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location. A LAG is a logical interface that uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to aggregate multiple 1 gigabit or 10 gigabit interfaces, allowing you to treat them as a single interface.
All connections in a LAG must use the same bandwidth (for example, 10 Gbps), and must terminate at the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint.
You can have up to 10 connections per LAG. Regardless of this limit, if you request more connections for the LAG than AWS Direct Connect can allocate on a single endpoint, no LAG is created.
You can specify an existing physical connection or interconnect to include in the LAG (which counts towards the total number of connections). Doing so interrupts the current physical connection or hosted connections, and re-establishes them as a member of the LAG. The LAG will be created on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint to which the connection terminates. Any virtual interfaces associated with the connection are automatically disassociated and re-associated with the LAG. The connection ID does not change.
If the AWS account used to create a LAG is a registered AWS Direct Connect partner, the LAG is automatically enabled to host sub-connections. For a LAG owned by a partner, any associated virtual interfaces cannot be directly configured.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Describes a link aggregation group (LAG). A LAG is a connection that uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to logically aggregate a bundle of physical connections. Like an interconnect, it can host other connections. All connections in a LAG must terminate on the same physical AWS Direct Connect endpoint, and must be the same bandwidth.
connectionsBandwidth (string) --
The individual bandwidth of the physical connections bundled by the LAG.
Available values: 1Gbps, 10Gbps
numberOfConnections (integer) --
The number of physical connections bundled by the LAG, up to a maximum of 10.
lagId (string) --
The ID of the LAG.
Example: dxlag-fg5678gh
ownerAccount (string) --
The owner of the LAG.
lagName (string) --
The name of the LAG.
lagState (string) --
The state of the LAG.
Requested : The initial state of a LAG. The LAG stays in the requested state until the Letter of Authorization (LOA) is available.

minimumLinks (integer) --
The minimum number of physical connections that must be operational for the LAG itself to be operational. If the number of operational connections drops below this setting, the LAG state changes to down . This value can help to ensure that a LAG is not overutilized if a significant number of its bundled connections go down.
awsDevice (string) --
The AWS Direct Connection endpoint that hosts the LAG.
connections (list) --
A list of connections bundled by this LAG.
(dict) --
A connection represents the physical network connection between the AWS Direct Connect location and the customer.
ownerAccount (string) --
The AWS account that will own the new connection.
connectionId (string) --
The ID of the connection. This field is also used as the ID type for operations that use multiple connection types (LAG, interconnect, and/or connection).
Example: dxcon-fg5678gh
Default: None
connectionName (string) --
The name of the connection.
Example: "My Connection to AWS "
Default: None
connectionState (string) --
State of the connection.
Ordering : The initial state of a hosted connection provisioned on an interconnect. The connection stays in the ordering state until the owner of the hosted connection confirms or declines the connection order.
Requested : The initial state of a standard connection. The connection stays in the requested state until the Letter of Authorization (LOA) is sent to the customer.
Pending : The connection has been approved, and is being initialized.
Available : The network link is up, and the connection is ready for use.

Note
This is intended for use by AWS Direct Connect partners only.
Associates an existing connection with a link aggregation group (LAG). The connection is interrupted and re-established as a member of the LAG (connectivity to AWS will be interrupted). The connection must be hosted on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint as the LAG, and its bandwidth must match the bandwidth for the LAG. You can reassociate a connection that's currently associated with a different LAG; however, if removing the connection will cause the original LAG to fall below its setting for minimum number of operational connections, the request fails.
Virtual interfaces that are directly associated with the connection are not automatically migrated. You can delete them or associate them with the target LAG using AssociateVirtualInterface . If the connection was originally associated with a different LAG, the virtual interfaces remain associated with the original LAG.
For interconnects, hosted connections are not automatically migrated. You can delete them, or the owner of the physical connection can associate them with the target LAG using AssociateHostedConnection . After all hosted connections have been migrated, the interconnect can be migrated into the LAG. If the interconnect is already associated with a LAG, the hosted connections remain associated with the original LAG.

Associates a virtual interface with a specified link aggregation group (LAG) or connection. Connectivity to AWS is temporarily interrupted as the virtual interface is being migrated. If the target connection or LAG has an associated virtual interface with a conflicting VLAN number or a conflicting IP address, the operation fails.
Virtual interfaces associated with a hosted connection cannot be associated with a LAG; hosted connections must be migrated along with their virtual interfaces using AssociateHostedConnection .
Hosted virtual interfaces (an interface for which the owner of the connection is not the owner of physical connection) can only be reassociated by the owner of the physical connection.

You can reassociate a connection that's currently associated with a different LAG; however, if removing the connection will cause the original LAG to fall below its setting for minimum number of operational connections, the request fails.
Virtual interfaces that are directly associated with the connection are not automatically migrated. You can delete them or associate them with the target LAG using AssociateVirtualInterface . If the connection was originally associated with a different LAG, the virtual interfaces remain associated with the original LAG.
For interconnects, hosted connections are not automatically migrated.

Associates a hosted connection and its virtual interfaces with a link aggregation group (LAG) or interconnect. If the target interconnect or LAG has an existing hosted connection with a conflicting VLAN number or IP address, the operation fails. This action temporarily interrupts the hosted connection's connectivity to AWS as it is being migrated.

Creates a new connection between the customer network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location.
A connection links your internal network to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard 1 gigabit or 10 gigabit Ethernet fiber-optic cable. One end of the cable is connected to your router, the other to an AWS Direct Connect router. An AWS Direct Connect location provides access to Amazon Web Services in the region it is associated with. You can establish connections with AWS Direct Connect locations in multiple regions, but a connection in one region does not provide connectivity to other regions.
You can automatically add the new connection to a link aggregation group (LAG) by specifying a LAG ID in the request. This ensures that the new connection is allocated on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint that hosts the specified LAG. If there are no available ports on the endpoint, the request fails and no connection will be created.

Response {'awsDevice': 'string', 'lagId': 'string'}
Creates a new interconnect between a AWS Direct Connect partner's network and a specific AWS Direct Connect location.
An interconnect is a connection which is capable of hosting other connections. The AWS Direct Connect partner can use an interconnect to provide sub-1Gbps AWS Direct Connect service to tier 2 customers who do not have their own connections. Like a standard connection, an interconnect links the AWS Direct Connect partner's network to an AWS Direct Connect location over a standard 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet fiber-optic cable. One end is connected to the partner's router, the other to an AWS Direct Connect router.
You can automatically add the new interconnect to a link aggregation group (LAG) by specifying a LAG ID in the request. This ensures that the new interconnect is allocated on the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint that hosts the specified LAG. If there are no available ports on the endpoint, the request fails and no interconnect will be created.
For each end customer, the AWS Direct Connect partner provisions a connection on their interconnect by calling AllocateConnectionOnInterconnect. The end customer can then connect to AWS resources by creating a virtual interface on their connection, using the VLAN assigned to them by the AWS Direct Connect partner.
Note
This is intended for use by AWS Direct Connect partners only.

Disassociates a connection from a link aggregation group (LAG). The connection is interrupted and re-established as a standalone connection (the connection is not deleted; to delete the connection, use the DeleteConnection request). If the LAG has associated virtual interfaces or hosted connections, they remain associated with the LAG. A disassociated connection owned by an AWS Direct Connect partner is automatically converted to an interconnect.
If disassociating the connection will cause the LAG to fall below its setting for minimum number of operational connections, the request fails, except when it's the last member of the LAG. If all connections are disassociated, the LAG continues to exist as an empty LAG with no physical connections.
