ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company is designing a network for a highly available application across multiple AWS regions. The application requires low-latency communication between regions and uses IP addresses that cannot change. Which AWS service should be used to connect the VPCs in different regions?
⚠ Common exam trap
The ANS-C01 exam often tests the misconception that VPC Peering is only for same-region VPCs, but AWS has supported inter-region VPC Peering since 2017, making it a valid and recommended solution for cross-region private connectivity with fixed IPs.
Answer choices
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
✓
VPC Peering
VPC Peering is the correct choice because it establishes a direct, private network connection between two VPCs in different AWS regions using AWS's global backbone, enabling low-latency communication without requiring public internet traversal. It supports inter-region peering (since 2017) and allows the use of private IP addresses that remain unchanged, satisfying the requirement for fixed IPs.
