Quick Answer
The correct answer is AWS Direct Connect, AWS VPN, and AWS Transit Gateway. These three services are the foundational building blocks for establishing secure, reliable hybrid connectivity between on-premises data centers and AWS, which is critical for SAP workloads that require low latency and consistent network performance. Direct Connect provides a dedicated private link, AWS VPN offers encrypted tunnels over the internet, and Transit Gateway acts as a central hub to interconnect multiple VPCs and on-premises networks, simplifying routing and scaling. On the AWS Certified SAP on AWS Specialty PAS-C01 exam, this question tests your understanding of how to design a robust hybrid network architecture specifically for SAP migrations, where network stability is non-negotiable. A common trap is confusing VPC Peering (which only connects VPCs) or Client VPN (for individual users) with true site-to-site hybrid connectivity. Remember the memory tip: “DVT” for Direct Connect, VPN, and Transit Gateway—these three form the core of any hybrid SAP setup.
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of operations and maintenance. 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 planning to migrate its SAP workloads to AWS. Which THREE AWS services are commonly used to set up a secure network connectivity between on-premises and AWS? (Choose THREE.)
AWS Transit Gateway
Acts as a hub to connect VPCs and on-premises networks.
AWS Site-to-Site VPN
Creates encrypted tunnels between on-premises and AWS.
AWS Direct Connect
Provides dedicated private network connection.
VPC Peering
Why wrong: VPC Peering connects VPCs, not on-premises networks.
AWS Client VPN
Why wrong: Client VPN is for individual VPN connections, not site-to-site.
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 Transit Gateway
Options A, B, and C are correct. AWS VPN, Direct Connect, and Transit Gateway are used for hybrid connectivity. Option D is not correct because VPC Peering is for VPC-to-VPC, not on-premises. Option E is not correct because Client VPN is for individual clients.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
