VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 62

An architect is designing a company's hybrid cloud environment. Traffic between their local data center and VMC on AWS software-defined data center (SDDC) requires a high-speed, low latency connection. The connection type should also support connectivity to services currently being consumed in AWS. Which connection type will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
• B. AWS Direct Connect
• C. Four IPSec tunnels for greater bandwidth & resiliency
• D. Route-based VPN

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection from the on-premises data center to AWS, ensuring high-speed and low-latency access to both VMC on AWS SDDC and AWS services. In contrast, MPLS is a more complex solution that may not provide the same level of integration with AWS services, while IPSec tunnels and Route-based VPNs can introduce latency and might not support the required bandwidth effectively.
