AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 485
A company needs to connect multiple VPCs and on-premises networks through a single network connection to the AWS Cloud.
Which solution meets this requirement?
Answer options
- A. AWS Transit Gateway
- B. AWS Direct Connect
- C. VPC peering
- D. AWS Client VPN
Correct answer: A
Explanation
AWS Transit Gateway acts as a centralized network transit hub, making it easy to connect multiple VPCs and on-premises networks together through a single gateway. VPC peering only supports 1-to-1 connections between VPCs and does not support transitive routing or on-premises connections. AWS Direct Connect provides a private physical connection, and AWS Client VPN is for remote user access, neither of which natively consolidates multi-VPC and on-premises routing on their own as a single transit hub.
