AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 459

A company is connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks. The company needs to use an AWS service as a cloud router to simplify peering relationships.

Which AWS service can the company use to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS Direct Connect
• B. AWS Transit Gateway
• C. Amazon Connect
• D. Amazon Route 53

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Transit Gateway acts as a centralized cloud router, simplifying network topology by connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks through a single hub rather than complex point-to-point peering. AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated physical network connection from on-premises to AWS but does not act as a multi-VPC router itself. Amazon Route 53 is a Domain Name System (DNS) web service, and Amazon Connect is an omnichannel cloud contact center, making neither suitable for this routing requirement.
