ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company has several VPCs in the same AWS account and region. They want to centrally manage and monitor network traffic between these VPCs and also to on-premises networks. Which AWS service should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse VPC Peering's ability to connect VPCs with the need for transitive routing, mistakenly thinking a mesh of peering connections is simpler than Transit Gateway, but they overlook the operational overhead and lack of centralized management.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Transit Gateway
AWS Transit Gateway (C) is the correct choice because it acts as a central hub to interconnect multiple VPCs and on-premises networks using a single gateway, simplifying network management and enabling centralized monitoring. It supports transitive routing between all attached networks, which is essential for the company's requirement to manage and monitor traffic across many VPCs and their on-premises environment.
