Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    Information about an Direct Connect connection.

    • ownerAccount (string) --

      The ID of the Amazon Web Services account that owns the connection.

    • connectionId (string) --

      The ID of the connection.

    • connectionName (string) --

      The name of the connection.

    • connectionState (string) --

      The state of the connection. The following are the possible values:

      • 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.
      • down : The network link is down.
      • deleting : The connection is being deleted.
      • deleted : The connection has been deleted.
      • rejected : A hosted connection in the ordering state enters the rejected state if it is deleted by the customer.
      • unknown : The state of the connection is not available.
    • region (string) --

      The Amazon Web Services Region where the connection is located.
