AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 704

Which AWS service or feature requires an internet service provider (ISP) and a colocation facility to be implemented?

Answer options

• A. AWS VPN
• B. Amazon Connect
• C. AWS Direct Connect
• D. Internet gateway

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Direct Connect establishes a dedicated physical network connection from your on-premises environment to AWS, which requires a colocation facility to house the connection equipment and an ISP to provide the link. AWS VPN and Internet gateways run over the public internet and do not require dedicated physical colocation infrastructure. Amazon Connect is an omnichannel cloud contact center service that operates entirely over the web without requiring physical network provisioning.
