You can only access public AWS services (i.e. the public IP addresses of AWS services) when using public VIFs on a DX. However, despite connecting to ‘public’ services using their public IPs, the connection doesn’t go via the Internet (assuming your routers are configured correctly) and stays on the AWS and Exchange Providers backbone network. You cannot access the internet as a whole using public VIFs.
Thanks. Yes, the access to AWS public services does not go through VPC’s Internet Gateway.
