SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company has a multi-account AWS environment with a centralized network account that hosts a transit gateway. The company wants to share the transit gateway with multiple member accounts. Which AWS service should be used to share the transit gateway?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse VPC peering (which is point-to-point and non-transitive) with transit gateway sharing via RAM, which provides transitive routing and centralized management across multiple accounts.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM)
AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) enables you to share a transit gateway owned by a central network account with other AWS accounts in your organization. This eliminates the need to create separate transit gateway attachments or VPC peering connections, simplifying network architecture and reducing operational overhead.
