ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are valid methods to connect multiple VPCs in the same AWS region using AWS native services? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The ANS-C01 exam often tests the misconception that AWS Direct Connect can directly interconnect VPCs, but it is a physical connection to on-premises only, not a VPC-to-VPC connectivity method.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
VPC peering
VPC peering (B) is a valid AWS-native method to connect multiple VPCs in the same region, using the AWS backbone to route traffic between VPCs via private IPv4 or IPv6 addresses with no single point of failure or bandwidth bottleneck. AWS Transit Gateway (E) is also a native service that acts as a hub-and-spoke router, enabling transitive connectivity between thousands of VPCs and on-premises networks using a single gateway, supporting both same-region and inter-region peering attachments.
