ANS-C01 Network Management and Operations Practice Question

A network engineer is designing a highly available VPN connection between an on-premises network and AWS. The on-premises network has two internet connections from different ISPs. Which AWS VPN configuration should be used to provide the highest availability?

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

✓

Create two customer gateways, each with a VPN tunnel to the virtual private gateway.

Using two customer gateways with two VPN tunnels each provides redundancy at both the device and ISP level. Option A is wrong because a single VPN tunnel is not redundant. Option C is wrong because a single customer gateway with two tunnels only provides ISP redundancy. Option D is wrong because Direct Connect is not a VPN.
