ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company has multiple VPCs that need to communicate with each other. They want to use a hub-and-spoke model with centralized network management. Which AWS service should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse VPC Peering (C) as the default solution for VPC connectivity, but they overlook its lack of transitive routing and the management overhead of creating a full mesh, which makes Transit Gateway the only correct choice for a hub-and-spoke model with centralized management.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Transit Gateway
AWS Transit Gateway (D) is the correct choice because it acts as a central hub that interconnects multiple VPCs and on-premises networks using a hub-and-spoke topology. It simplifies network management by providing a single point of connectivity and supports transitive routing between all attached VPCs, which is exactly what the company needs for centralized network management.
