AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 647

A company wants to use an AWS networking solution that can act as a centralized gateway between multiple VPCs and on-premises networks.

Which AWS service or feature will meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Gateway VPC endpoint
• B. AWS Direct Connect
• C. AWS Transit Gateway
• D. AWS PrivateLink

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Transit Gateway acts as a cloud router, simplifying network topology by connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks through a single central hub. Gateway VPC endpoints and AWS PrivateLink are designed for private connectivity to specific AWS services or SaaS applications rather than broad network transit. AWS Direct Connect establishes a dedicated physical network connection from on-premises to AWS but does not natively act as a centralized transit hub for multiple VPCs on its own.
