CLF-C02 Question 145
Single answerA company wants to establish a secure and consistent network connection between their on-premises data center and their AWS environment. They need low latency and high throughput for transferring large datasets and cannot rely on the public internet. Which connectivity option should they use?
- A
AWS Direct Connect
- B
AWS Site-to-Site VPN
- C
Public Internet with HTTPS
- D
AWS Global Accelerator
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Direct Connect is the most appropriate choice because it provides a dedicated, private connection to AWS, ensuring low latency and high throughput. This makes it ideal for transferring large datasets and achieving consistent network performance, which cannot be guaranteed over public internet-based options like VPN or HTTPS.
- A. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated, private network connection between the on-premises data center and AWS, offering low latency, high throughput, and consistent performance. This is the most reliable option for transferring large datasets.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Site-to-Site VPN offers a secure connection over the public internet. While it is suitable for encrypted communication, it relies on public internet infrastructure and does not guarantee low latency or high throughput.
- C. Incorrect.
Public Internet with HTTPS can be used for secure communication but does not provide the reliability, low latency, or high throughput required for large dataset transfers.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Global Accelerator is a service that improves application performance for global users but is not designed for establishing private network connections between on-premises environments and AWS.
