ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
Which THREE considerations are important when implementing a multi-region Direct Connect architecture? (Choose 3)
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume a single Direct Connect connection with a VPN backup is sufficient for multi-region architectures, but the question specifically requires multi-region Direct Connect, where physical and path diversity across locations is mandatory, not just a backup VPN.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Ensure Direct Connect connections are in at least two separate geographic locations.
Implementing Direct Connect connections in at least two separate geographic locations ensures physical diversity and resilience against regional outages. This aligns with AWS best practices for high availability, as a single location failure (e.g., due to natural disaster or fiber cut) would not impact all connections, maintaining connectivity to your VPCs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Ensure Direct Connect connections are in at least two separate geographic locations.
Why this is correct
Diverse locations provide redundancy against site failures.
- ✗
Use a single Direct Connect connection to reduce complexity.
Why it's wrong here
A single connection is a single point of failure.
- ✗
Connect all Direct Connect connections to the same AWS Direct Connect device.
Why it's wrong here
Connecting to the same device creates a single point of failure at the device level.
- ✓
Use diverse paths and providers for the Direct Connect connections.
Why this is correct
Diverse paths and providers protect against carrier outages.
- ✓
Set up a VPN connection as a backup to Direct Connect.
Why this is correct
VPN provides a backup if Direct Connect fails.
