AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 818

Which AWS service can provide a dedicated network connection with consistent low latency from on premises to the AWS Cloud?

Answer options

• A. Amazon VPC
• B. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
• C. AWS Direct Connect
• D. Amazon OpenSearch Service

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Direct Connect bypasses the public internet to establish a dedicated, private network connection from an on-premises facility directly to AWS, which ensures consistent, low-latency performance. Amazon VPC is used to provision logically isolated virtual networks within the AWS Cloud rather than establishing physical hybrid links. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is designed for real-time data ingestion, and Amazon OpenSearch Service is a search and analytics suite, neither of which provide network connectivity solutions.
