Correct answer: B
Explanation
AWS Direct Connect is the most suitable choice for a secure, low-latency, and dedicated connection between an on-premises data center and AWS. Unlike AWS Site-to-Site VPN, it does not rely on the public internet, ensuring higher reliability and consistent performance for transferring large volumes of data.
- A. Incorrect.
AWS Site-to-Site VPN provides a secure connection over the public internet, but it does not meet the requirement for avoiding public internet usage and providing low latency.
- B. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect offers a dedicated, private network connection between an on-premises data center and AWS, meeting the requirements for security and low latency.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service designed to distribute content and reduce latency for end users, but it does not provide network connectivity between on-premises environments and AWS.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Transit Gateway enables the interconnection of multiple VPCs and on-premises networks but does not provide a dedicated connection or meet the requirement to avoid the public internet.
