Transit Gateway association with the Direct Connect gateway
When using Transit Gateway with Direct Connect, you need a Direct Connect gateway, and the Transit Gateway must be associated with the Direct Connect gateway. A virtual private gateway (VGW) is not used with Transit Gateway; it is used with a VPC alone. A customer gateway is used for VPN, not Direct Connect. An internet gateway is for public internet traffic.
