Single answerA company wants to securely connect its on-premises data center to its resources in AWS. The solution must ensure low latency, consistent performance, and encrypted communication. Which of the following solutions best meets these requirements?
- A
Use AWS Direct Connect with a VPN overlay.
- B
Use a Site-to-Site VPN connection over the public internet.
- C
Use AWS Direct Connect with dedicated private connections.
- D
Use an internet gateway and set up IPsec for encryption.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To meet the requirements of low latency, consistent performance, and encrypted communication, AWS Direct Connect with a VPN overlay is the best solution. Direct Connect provides a dedicated private connection for low latency and consistent performance, while the VPN overlay ensures communication is encrypted.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct answer. AWS Direct Connect provides low latency and consistent performance, while the VPN overlay ensures encrypted communication.
- B. Incorrect.
This option provides encryption but relies on the public internet, which does not guarantee low latency or consistent performance.
- C. Incorrect.
While AWS Direct Connect offers low latency and consistent performance, it does not inherently provide encryption. Adding a VPN overlay is necessary for encryption.
- D. Incorrect.
An internet gateway with IPsec encryption would rely on the public internet, which does not meet the low latency and consistent performance requirements.
