AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 149

You wish to have a sub-1G connection to AWS to save on costs. How can you achieve this?

Answer options

• A. Just set your router to the speed you want and AWS will charge you based on the actual speed of the port.
• B. Contact AWS, they will put you in contact with a technical account manager who can help you get this setup.
• C. You can't. The only speeds available for Direct Connect are 1G and 10G.
• D. Contact an AWS partner, AWS does not provide sub-1G connection speeds.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because AWS does not directly provide sub-1G connection options, and reaching out to an AWS partner is necessary for such arrangements. Option A is incorrect as adjusting the router settings does not influence AWS's billing model. Option B is also wrong since AWS does not provide sub-1G speeds, so a technical account manager would not be able to assist with that. Option C states the limitations of Direct Connect accurately but does not provide a solution.
