AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 913

A large enterprise with multiple VPCs in several AWS Regions around the world needs to connect and centrally manage network connectivity between its VPCs.
Which AWS service or feature meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Direct Connect
• B. AWS Transit Gateway
• C. AWS Site-to-Site VPN
• D. VPC endpoints

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Transit Gateway acts as a centralized cloud router that simplifies network topology by connecting thousands of VPCs and on-premises networks. In contrast, AWS Direct Connect and AWS Site-to-Site VPN are primarily used for hybrid cloud connectivity to on-premises environments, while VPC endpoints provide private connections to specific AWS services rather than general VPC-to-VPC routing.
