AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 594

Identify a correct statement about the expiration date of the "Letter of Authorization and Connecting Facility Assignment (LOA-CFA)," which lets you complete the
Cross Connect step of setting up your AWS Direct Connect.

Answer options

• A. If the cross connect is not completed within 90 days, the authority granted by the LOA-CFA expires.
• B. If the virtual interface is not created within 72 days, the LOA-CFA becomes outdated.
• C. If the cross connect is not completed within a user-defined time, the authority granted by the LOA- CFA expires.
• D. If the cross connect is not completed within the specified duration from the appropriate provider, the LOA-CFA expires.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Letter of Authorization and Connecting Facility Assignment (LOA-CFA) issued by AWS is valid for exactly 90 days. If the physical cross-connect is not completed within this 90-day window, the authorization expires, requiring the user to request a new LOA-CFA. Other options are incorrect because they reference incorrect timeframes or suggest the expiration is determined by the user or provider.
