AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 4

Your company has a 1-Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection to AWS. Your company needs to send traffic from on-premises to a VPC owned by a partner company. The connectivity must have minimal latency at the lowest price.
Which of the following connectivity options should you choose?

Answer options

• A. Create a new Direct Connect connection, and set up a new circuit to connect to the partner VPC using a private virtual interface.
• B. Create a new Direct Connect connection, and leverage the existing circuit to connect to the partner VPC.
• C. Create a new private virtual interface, and leverage the existing connection to connect to the partner VPC.
• D. Enable VPC peering and use your VPC as a transitive point to reach the partner VPC.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a new private virtual interface allows you to utilize the current Direct Connect connection efficiently, minimizing latency and costs. Options A and B suggest creating a new connection which would increase expenses and complexity, while D involves VPC peering which may introduce additional latency and is not the most cost-effective solution.
