ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company needs to establish a dedicated, private, high-bandwidth connection between its on-premises data center and AWS. Which AWS service should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
The ANS-C01 exam often tests the misconception that AWS Site-to-Site VPN provides a private, dedicated connection, but it actually runs over the public internet and cannot match the bandwidth or consistency of Direct Connect.

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
✓
AWS Direct Connect
AWS Direct Connect is the correct service because it provides a dedicated, private, high-bandwidth network connection from an on-premises data center to AWS, bypassing the public internet. This is achieved through a physical cross-connect at an AWS Direct Connect location, delivering consistent latency and higher throughput compared to internet-based connections.
