AWS Global Accelerator Latency: Direct Connect Troubleshooting

Latency spikes in an AWS Global Accelerator setup with Direct Connect are notoriously hard to pin down — this episode walks through a structured troubleshooting approach including VPC Flow Logs analysis.

You'll learn:

• How to isolate whether latency originates at the Global Accelerator edge, the Direct Connect path, or inside the VPC
• Reading VPC Flow Logs to identify packet loss, retransmits, and asymmetric routing across regions
• Using CloudWatch Network Monitor and AWS Health events to correlate inter-region degradation
• Common Direct Connect BGP misconfiguration gotchas that cause intermittent spikes rather than full outages
• When to escalate to AWS Support with the right data already gathered
