AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 516

A company wants to set up a secure network connection from on premises to the AWS Cloud within 1 week.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Direct Connect
• B. Amazon VPC
• C. AWS Site-to-Site VPN
• D. Edge location

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Site-to-Site VPN is the correct choice because it can be provisioned and configured in minutes over the public internet, easily meeting the one-week deployment requirement. In contrast, AWS Direct Connect requires physical telecom provisioning which typically takes several weeks or months to set up. Amazon VPC is a virtual network environment rather than a transit solution, and Edge locations are used for content caching rather than hybrid cloud connectivity.
