Quick Answer
The answer is AWS Client VPN, because it is specifically designed to provide secure remote user access to SAP in private subnets by establishing encrypted TLS tunnels from individual client devices directly into the VPC. Unlike site-to-site solutions, AWS Client VPN authenticates each remote user and grants granular access to private subnet resources like SAP application servers without exposing them to the internet. On the AWS Certified SAP on AWS Specialty PAS-C01 exam, this question tests your ability to distinguish between user-level and network-level connectivity services—a common trap is choosing AWS Direct Connect or Site-to-Site VPN, which connect entire networks, not individual users. Remember the key distinction: Client VPN is for people, Site-to-Site VPN is for places. A useful memory tip is to think of the “C” in Client VPN as standing for “Chair”—each user sits in their own chair, connecting directly to the private subnet.
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of technology. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company is migrating an SAP ERP system to AWS and needs to connect on-premises users to the SAP application securely. The SAP application is deployed in a VPC private subnet. Which service should be used to provide secure access for remote users?
AWS Site-to-Site VPN
Why wrong: Site-to-Site VPN connects entire networks, not individual users.
AWS Transit Gateway
Why wrong: Transit Gateway is a network transit hub, not a remote access solution.
AWS Direct Connect
Why wrong: Direct Connect is for dedicated, high-bandwidth connections, not individual remote users.
AWS Client VPN
Client VPN allows remote users to securely connect to the VPC.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
AWS Client VPN
AWS Client VPN provides secure access for individual remote users to resources in a VPC. AWS Direct Connect is for dedicated network connections, Site-to-Site VPN is for site-to-site connectivity, and Transit Gateway is for connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks.
Key principle: Count usable hosts — not total addresses — and remember that the network and broadcast addresses are not available to hosts in standard IPv4 subnets.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
AWS Site-to-Site VPN
Why it's wrong here
Site-to-Site VPN connects entire networks, not individual users.
AWS Transit Gateway
Why it's wrong here
Transit Gateway is a network transit hub, not a remote access solution.
AWS Direct Connect
Why it's wrong here
Direct Connect is for dedicated, high-bandwidth connections, not individual remote users.

Common exam traps
Subnetting questions often tempt you into counting all addresses. In normal IPv4 subnets, the network and broadcast addresses are not usable host addresses.
Detailed technical explanation
Subnetting questions test whether you can identify the network, broadcast address, usable range, mask and correct subnet. Slow down enough to calculate the block size correctly.
Key takeaway
Count usable hosts — not total addresses — and remember that the network and broadcast addresses are not available to hosts in standard IPv4 subnets.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
What to study next
Review block sizes, usable host formulas (2^n − 2), and how to find network and broadcast addresses for /24 through /30. Then practise related PAS-C01 subnetting questions on CIDR, address ranges, and subnet selection.
