AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 544

After setting an AWS Direct Connect, which of the following cannot be done with an AWS Direct Connect Virtual Interface?

Answer options

• A. You can exchange traffic between the two ports in the same region connecting to different Virtual Private Gateways (VGWs) if you have more than one virtual interface.
• B. You can change the region of your virtual interface.
• C. You can delete a virtual interface; if its connection has no other virtual interfaces, you can delete the connection.
• D. You can create a hosted virtual interface.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

An AWS Direct Connect Virtual Interface is bound to the specific region of the AWS Direct Connect location where it was created, and its region cannot be changed after creation. You can, however, delete virtual interfaces, create hosted virtual interfaces, and route traffic between different Virtual Private Gateways (VGWs) using multiple interfaces. To connect to a different region, a new virtual interface must be created for that specific target region.
