AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 219

Your company has signed up to trial AWS WorkSpaces. You aren't sure you're going to keep it, but you want to try it out to see if it works for your organization of
112 users. You need to deploy it with as little work and up-front expense as possible while still allowing access to your Active Directory for authentication.
What two things should you do? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create a VPN connection.
• B. Create an AD connector
• C. Setup AWS hosted Microsoft AD
• D. Create a Direct Connect connection to AWS.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Creating a VPN connection (A) allows secure access to AWS resources, facilitating the trial without extensive investment. An AD connector (B) enables integration with your existing Active Directory for authentication, making it a practical choice. The other options, such as AWS hosted Microsoft AD (C) and Direct Connect (D), involve higher setup costs and complexity, which do not align with the goal of minimizing effort and expense during the trial period.
