ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company wants to connect its on-premises data center to AWS using AWS Direct Connect. The company requires a dedicated 1 Gbps connection with low latency and high bandwidth for mission-critical workloads. Which type of Direct Connect interface should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse 'Dedicated Connection' with 'Hosted Connection' (Option C), mistakenly thinking a hosted connection provides the same dedicated bandwidth, but a hosted connection is a shared, multi-tenant link that cannot guarantee the same performance isolation or Service Level Agreement (SLA) as a dedicated physical port.
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
✓
Dedicated Connection
A Dedicated Connection (Option D) is correct because it provides a physical, single-tenant Ethernet connection from the on-premises data center directly to AWS, offering dedicated 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps bandwidth with consistent low latency and high availability for mission-critical workloads. Unlike hosted connections, a dedicated connection is provisioned as a physical port at an AWS Direct Connect location, ensuring exclusive use and predictable performance without contention from other customers.
