A company is using AWS Site-to-Site VPN to connect its on-premises network to a VPC. The network team wants to ensure high availability and failover. Which three actions should they take? (Choose THREE.)
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
✓
Configure both tunnels as active/active.
For high availability, use two tunnels (both active/active or active/passive), use two Customer Gateway devices for redundancy, and configure BGP for dynamic routing and fast failover. Static routes require manual intervention. A single tunnel is not redundant.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure both tunnels as active/active.
Why this is correct
Both tunnels carry traffic; if one fails, traffic shifts to the other.
- ✓
Enable BGP on the VPN connections.
Why this is correct
BGP provides automatic failover and route propagation.
- ✓
Use two Customer Gateway devices in different locations.
Why this is correct
Provides redundancy at the on-premises side.
- ✗
Use static routes instead of BGP.
Why it's wrong here
Static routes do not provide automatic failover.
- ✗
Configure two VPN tunnels to the same Customer Gateway.
Why it's wrong here
Having two tunnels to the same CGW still has a single point of failure at the on-premises device.
