Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Direct Connect is the best solution for establishing a private, low-latency, and high-throughput connection between an on-premises environment and AWS. It provides a dedicated connection that does not traverse the public internet, making it ideal for transferring large volumes of data securely.
- A. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated, private network connection between on-premises environments and AWS. It is ideal for low-latency, high-throughput, and secure data transfers without traversing the public internet.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Site-to-Site VPN establishes a secure connection between an on-premises data center and AWS over the public internet. While it is secure, it is not as low-latency or high-throughput as AWS Direct Connect.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS PrivateLink is used to privately access AWS services or VPC endpoints without exposing traffic to the public internet. It is not designed for connecting on-premises environments to AWS.
- D. Incorrect.
An internet-based VPN connection uses the public internet and does not meet the requirement for a private connection. It is less secure and has higher latency compared to AWS Direct Connect.
