Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Direct Connect is the best option for the organization's requirements as it provides a private, high-bandwidth, low-latency connection between on-premises environments and VMware Cloud on AWS. This ensures reliable connectivity for production workloads without relying on the public internet.
- A. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated, high-bandwidth, low-latency private connection between on-premises environments and VMware Cloud on AWS, making it ideal for production workloads.
- B. Incorrect.
VPN over public internet is a cost-effective option but does not meet the requirements for high bandwidth and low latency, as it relies on the public internet.
- C. Incorrect.
L2VPN is used for extending on-premises networks into VMware Cloud on AWS but is not designed specifically for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections.
- D. Incorrect.
SD-WAN is a flexible option for connecting multiple sites but does not provide a dedicated private connection like AWS Direct Connect.
