ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company wants to securely connect their on-premises data center to AWS using a site-to-site VPN. They have multiple branch offices that also need to connect to AWS. Which AWS service should they use to simplify the management of multiple VPN connections?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse VPN CloudHub with Transit Gateway, but CloudHub is a simpler, older solution that lacks the centralized management, advanced routing policies, and scalability of Transit Gateway, which is the modern best practice for multi-site VPN connectivity.

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 Transit Gateway
AWS Transit Gateway (C) acts as a central hub that interconnects VPCs and on-premises networks, allowing you to manage multiple site-to-site VPN connections and branch office attachments through a single gateway. This simplifies routing and reduces operational overhead compared to managing individual VPN connections between each branch and each VPC.
