AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 245

A user wants to transport data between AWS and an on-premises environment using a private network connection.

Which AWS service or feature can be used to meet these requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Direct Connect is specifically designed for establishing a dedicated private connection between on-premises environments and AWS, making it the ideal choice for data transport. The other options, such as NAT gateway and Internet gateway, are used for different networking purposes and do not provide the private connectivity required for this scenario.
