AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C02) — Question 114

A solutions architect is designing a hybrid application using the AWS cloud. The network between the on-premises data center and AWS will use an AWS Direct
Connect (DX) connection. The application connectivity between AWS and the on-premises data center must be highly resilient.
Which DX configuration should be implemented to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Configure a DX connection with a VPN on top of it.
• B. Configure DX connections at multiple DX locations.
• C. Configure a DX connection using the most reliable DX partner.
• D. Configure multiple virtual interfaces on top of a DX connection.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring DX connections at multiple locations enhances redundancy and resilience, providing alternative paths for data if one connection fails. Options A, C, and D do not address the requirement for high resilience as effectively as option B, which directly focuses on diversifying connection points.
