AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 458

A company wants to maintain bandwidth throughput and provide a more consistent network experience than public internet-based connections.

Which AWS service should the company choose?

Answer options

• A. AWS VPN
• B. AWS Direct Connect
• C. Amazon Connect
• D. Amazon CloudFront

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Direct Connect establishes a dedicated physical network connection from an on-premises data center to AWS, bypassing the public internet to ensure consistent throughput and lower latency. In contrast, AWS VPN operates over the public internet, which can result in unpredictable performance. Amazon Connect is a contact center service, and Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network, making neither suitable for dedicated hybrid connectivity.
