April 8, 2021 Release Notes

New features

Dedicated AWS and Google Cloud connections to Cloud Router (100 Gbps connections)

You can now connect a Dedicated cloud connection (AWS or Google) to a Cloud Router.

Because Dedicated cloud connections have a larger capacity, this means that you can add connections up to 100 Gbps for AWS and Google.

For more information, see Add a Dedicated Cloud Connection to the Cloud Router.

100 Gbps access ports for Cloud Routers

When connecting an access port to a Cloud Router, you can now select 100 Gbps ports.

For more information, see Add a Connection from a Port to the Cloud Router.
