AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 55
A company uses a single connection to the internet when connecting its on-premises location to AWS. It has selected an AWS Partner Network (APN) Partner to provide a point-to-point circuit for its first-ever 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection.
What steps must be taken to order the cross-connect at the Direct Connect location?
Answer options
- A. Obtain the LOA/CFA from the APN Partner when ordering connectivity. Upload it to the AWS Management Console when creating a new Direct Connect connection. AWS will ensure that the cross-connect is installed.
- B. Obtain the LOA/CFA from the AWS Management Console when ordering the Direct Connect connection. Provide it to the APN Partner when ordering connectivity. The Direct Connect partner will ensure that the cross-connect is installed.
- C. Obtain one LOA/CFA each from the AWS Management Console and the APN Partner. Provide both to the Facility Operator of the Direct Connect location. The facility operator will ensure that the cross-connect is installed.
- D. Identify the APN Partner in the AWS Management Console when creating the Direct Connect connection. Provide the resulting Connection ID to the APN Partner, who will ensure that the cross-connect is installed.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer, B, is accurate because it specifies obtaining the LOA/CFA from the AWS Management Console and providing it to the APN Partner to facilitate the cross-connect installation. Option A incorrectly states that AWS will manage the installation, while option C requires unnecessary dual LOA/CFA submissions, and option D misplaces the responsibility of the Connection ID, which is not needed for the cross-connect process.
