AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 10

Your organization uses a VPN to connect to your VPC but must upgrade to a 1-G AWS Direct Connect connection for stability and performance. Your telecommunications provider has provisioned the circuit from your data center to an AWS Direct Connect facility and needs information on how to cross-connect
(e.g., which rack/port to connect).
What is the AWS-recommended procedure for providing this information?

Answer options

• A. Create a support ticket. Provide your AWS account number and telecommunications company's name and where you need the Direct Connect connection to terminate.
• B. Create a new connection through your AWS Management Console and wait for an email from AWS with information.
• C. Ask your telecommunications provider to contact AWS through an AWS Partner Channel. Provide your AWS account number.
• D. Contact an AWS Account Manager and provide your AWS account number, telecommunications company's name, and where you need the Direct Connect connection to terminate.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because creating a new connection through the AWS Management Console generates an email from AWS containing the necessary cross-connection details. Option A, while it suggests opening a support ticket, does not guarantee the same level of immediate information. Option C relies on a third party to contact AWS, which can delay the process, and option D involves contacting an account manager, which may not be as direct or efficient as using the Management Console.
