CLF-C02 Question 216
Single answerA company needs a reliable and low-latency connection between their on-premises data center and AWS. They also require the ability to transfer large volumes of data consistently and securely. Which AWS service is the most appropriate for this requirement?
- A
AWS Direct Connect
- B
AWS Site-to-Site VPN
- C
AWS Transit Gateway
- D
Amazon CloudFront
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is AWS Direct Connect because it provides a dedicated, private, and high-performance connection between an on-premises data center and AWS. This service is ideal for applications that require consistent, low-latency performance and the ability to transfer large volumes of data securely. Other options, such as AWS Site-to-Site VPN, do not meet the performance requirements, and services like AWS Transit Gateway or Amazon CloudFront are not designed for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect is the most appropriate option as it provides a dedicated, private connection between an on-premises data center and AWS. It offers consistent performance, low latency, and high bandwidth, making it ideal for transferring large volumes of data.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Site-to-Site VPN establishes a secure connection over the public internet. While it is secure, it does not provide the same low latency or consistent performance as AWS Direct Connect, especially for large data transfers.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS Transit Gateway is a service that connects VPCs and on-premises networks through a central hub, but it is not designed for providing a dedicated, low-latency, private connection like AWS Direct Connect.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service designed to accelerate the delivery of content to users globally. It is not relevant for creating a direct connection between an on-premises data center and AWS.
