Hello,
Thank you for the feedback.
Looking at the other options,
“Utilize AWS Direct Connect Gateway for inter-region VPC access. Create a virtual private gateway in each VPC, then create a private virtual interface for each AWS Direct Connect connection to the Direct Connect gateway.”
Is the only option that fulfills the requirements on the question. A fast, dedicated private network link for each region VPC, with a predictable transfer performance. Direct Connect ticks all these boxes.
A VPN can’t satisfy the requirements because it traverses a normal internet connection, it is not a dedicated network link, and the network performance may not be consistent.
When you request for an AWS Direct Connect link, it can take up to 72 hours for AWS to review your request and provision a port for your connection. I believe this is still a quick turnaround given for data center scenarios. Considering the context on this question, this is still fast. O
ptions for dedicated private connections, would be to request your ISP (which takes a long time too) or to setup your own fiber lines (which is expensive and takes a long time too).

Hope this helps.
