350-701 Practice Question: Is migrating to AWS and wants to ensure that all…
An organization is migrating to AWS and wants to ensure that all internet-bound traffic from VPCs is inspected by a central security appliance. Which AWS service should be used to redirect this traffic?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that VPC Peering can be used for transitive routing or central traffic inspection, but VPC Peering is non-transitive and cannot route traffic through a central hub without additional components like a Transit Gateway.
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
✓
Transit Gateway
Transit Gateway is correct because it acts as a central hub that can route traffic between VPCs and on-premises networks, and it supports route tables that can direct all internet-bound traffic to a central security appliance (such as a firewall or IDS/IPS) via a VPC attachment or a Network Virtual Appliance. This enables traffic inspection and policy enforcement without requiring individual VPCs to manage their own internet gateways or NAT devices.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
AWS Direct Connect
Why it's wrong here
Direct Connect is for private on-premises connection, not internet traffic routing.
- ✗
VPC Peering
Why it's wrong here
VPC Peering only connects VPCs directly, not providing central internet inspection.
- ✗
Internet Gateway
Why it's wrong here
Internet Gateway simply provides internet access without inspection capabilities.
- ✓
Transit Gateway
Why this is correct
Transit Gateway can route traffic through a security VPC for inspection.
