Question 921 of 1,621
ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are valid methods to connect an on-premises network to an Amazon VPC? (Select TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The ANS-C01 exam often tests the misconception that VPC peering or VPC endpoints can be used for on-premises connectivity, but these services are strictly for inter-VPC or service-to-VPC communication within AWS, not for extending an on-premises network.
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
✓
AWS Direct Connect
AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated, private network connection from an on-premises data center to AWS, bypassing the public internet for consistent latency and higher bandwidth. This is a valid method for connecting an on-premises network to a VPC, as it establishes a direct physical link that can be associated with a virtual interface to a VPC.
