A company is migrating its on-premises data center to AWS. The network team needs to establish connectivity between the on-premises network and multiple VPCs in a single AWS Region. The company has a Direct Connect connection and wants to minimize latency and cost while maximizing bandwidth utilization. Which solution meets these requirements?

AProvision a separate Direct Connect virtual interface for each VPC.
BCreate a VPN connection over the Direct Connect link to each VPC.
CUse VPC peering between the on-premises network and each VPC.
Use a Direct Connect gateway and associate it with the VPCs.Correct

A Direct Connect gateway allows a single Direct Connect connection to connect to multiple VPCs in the same or different AWS Regions, minimizing latency by using a private, dedicated network path and reducing cost by eliminating the need for separate virtual interfaces or VPN tunn…Read full explanation

A global e-commerce company uses a hub-and-spoke network topology with a transit VPC in us-east-1. Each spoke VPC has an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection to its respective on-premises office. Users report intermittent connectivity issues when accessing a web application hosted in a spoke VPC in eu-west-1 from an on-premises office in ap-southeast-1. The network engineer checks the VPN connection and finds it is up. Which design change would MOST likely resolve the issue?

AChange the VPN connection from static to dynamic routing.
Enable jumbo frames on the transit VPC's EC2-based virtual appliances.Correct
CEnable BGP route propagation on the transit VPC's route tables.
DDeploy a new transit VPC in eu-west-1.

The issue is intermittent connectivity between an on-premises office in ap-southeast-1 and a spoke VPC in eu-west-1, traversing a transit VPC in us-east-1. The VPN is up, so the problem is likely packet fragmentation or MTU mismatch across the long-haul path. Enabling jumbo frame…Read full explanation

A company is designing a network for a three-tier web application in a single VPC. The web tier must be accessible from the internet, but the application and database tiers must not have direct internet access. The application servers need to make outbound calls to a third-party API. Which architecture meets these requirements?

AWeb servers in public subnets, application and database servers in private subnets with an internet gateway for outbound traffic.
BAll servers in public subnets with security groups restricting access.
Web servers in public subnets with an Application Load Balancer, application servers in private subnets with a NAT gateway, and database servers in private subnets.Correct
DAll servers in private subnets and a VPN connection to the internet.

Option C is correct because it places web servers in public subnets with an Application Load Balancer for inbound internet traffic, while application and database servers reside in private subnets without direct internet access. A NAT gateway in a public subnet enables the applic…Read full explanation
