PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are required when integrating SAP HANA with AWS Direct Connect for hybrid connectivity?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse a Public Virtual Interface with a Private Virtual Interface, assuming any Direct Connect interface can reach the VPC, but only a Private Virtual Interface combined with a VGW provides private VPC access.
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
✓
A Virtual Private Gateway attached to the VPC.
A Virtual Private Gateway (VGW) is required to attach the VPC to the Direct Connect connection, enabling private IP traffic between on-premises and the VPC. Without a VGW, the Direct Connect virtual interface cannot terminate within the VPC, making hybrid connectivity impossible for SAP HANA workloads that require low-latency, private network paths.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A Public Virtual Interface to access the VPC.
Why it's wrong here
Public VIF is for public endpoints, not VPC.
- ✓
A Virtual Private Gateway attached to the VPC.
Why this is correct
VGW is required for Direct Connect private VIF.
- ✗
A Direct Connect Gateway for the connection.
Why it's wrong here
DX Gateway is optional for single VPC.
- ✓
BGP peering between on-premises router and AWS router.
Why this is correct
