1. A system, comprising:

  • a plurality of resource collections of a provider network, including a first resource collection within a first data center located in a first geographical zone of the provider network and a second resource collection within a second data center located in a second geographical zone of the provider network, wherein the resource collections of the provider network comprise computing devices configured to provide compute or storage services to clients of the provider network;

    one or more dedicated physical network links of the provider network, wherein the one or more dedicated physical network links connect the first data center located in the first geographical zone of the provider network and the second data center located in the second geographical zone of the provider network;

    an endpoint router within the first geographical zone of the provider network, linking the first data center of the provider network to a client network of a client via a given dedicated physical network link connecting the client network to the first data center located in the first geographical zone of the provider network; and

    a connectivity coordinator, wherein the connectivity coordinator is configured to;

    implement an interface to receive connectivity requests from the client;

    receive a connectivity request from the client to establish a logically isolated network path from the client network to the second resource collection within the second data center located in the second geographical zone of the provider network, wherein the connectivity request is formatted in accordance with the interface; and

    in response to the connectivity request, perform one or more configuration operations to enable traffic to flow from the client network to resources allocated to the client of the second resource collection in the second data center over a logically isolated network path extending over the given dedicated physical network link from the client network to the first data center located in the first geographical zone of the provider network and through the provider network via the one or more dedicated physical network links of the provider network to the second resource collection within second data center located in the second geographical zone of the provider network.
