SAA-C03 Question 335
Single answerYour company is planning to deploy a hybrid architecture where workloads hosted on-premises need to securely communicate with applications running in an Amazon VPC. The connection requires consistent performance, low latency, and the ability to transfer large amounts of data frequently. Which network connection option should you use?
- A
AWS Direct Connect
- B
AWS VPN
- C
AWS PrivateLink
- D
Internet Gateway
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Direct Connect is the best choice for this scenario because it offers a dedicated, private connection that bypasses the public internet, ensuring low latency, consistent performance, and the ability to handle large data transfers. While AWS VPN provides secure connectivity, it relies on the public internet, which can lead to variability in performance and higher latency. AWS PrivateLink and Internet Gateway do not meet the requirements for a hybrid architecture connecting on-premises environments to AWS.
- A. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect is the ideal choice for a hybrid architecture requiring consistent performance, low latency, and high bandwidth, as it provides a dedicated network connection between your on-premises data center and AWS.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS VPN can provide secure connectivity, but it relies on the public internet, which may result in variable performance and higher latency. It is not the best option for consistent performance and frequent large data transfers.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS PrivateLink is designed to securely access services within AWS without exposing traffic to the public internet, but it is not used for connecting on-premises environments to a VPC.
- D. Incorrect.
Internet Gateway allows communication between resources in a VPC and the internet but does not provide a secure or efficient connection for hybrid architectures.
