Question

A company has a single production VPC that needs private connectivity to its on-premises data center over an existing 1 Gbps Direct Connect connection. The networking team wants the simplest configuration that provides private, low-latency access to resources in that one VPC and does not require any additional AWS routing constructs beyond what is strictly necessary. Which implementation should the team use?

Accepted Answer

Create a private virtual interface (VIF) on the Direct Connect connection and associate it with a virtual private gateway (VGW) attached to the VPC.

Answer

Create a transit virtual interface (VIF) on the Direct Connect connection and associate it with a Direct Connect gateway connected to a Transit Gateway that attaches the VPC.

Answer

Create a public virtual interface (VIF) on the Direct Connect connection and route VPC traffic to it using an internet gateway.

Answer

Create a hosted connection with a private VIF and associate it directly with the VPC route table without any gateway.
