ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company needs to connect multiple VPCs to a common on-premises network through a single AWS Direct Connect connection. Which AWS service should be used to simplify this architecture?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the Virtual Private Gateway (VGW) as a multi-VPC solution, not realizing it is per-VPC and lacks transitive routing, while Transit Gateway is the correct service for hub-and-spoke connectivity with a single Direct Connect.

✓
AWS Transit Gateway
AWS Transit Gateway acts as a central hub to interconnect multiple VPCs and on-premises networks through a single Direct Connect connection.
