A Company Is Running a Line-Of-Business (LOB) Application on AWS

question 33

Multiple Choice

A company is running a line-of-business (LOB) application on AWS to support its users. The application runs in one VPC, with a backup copy in a second VPC in a different AWS Region for disaster recovery. The company has a single AWS Direct Connect connection between its on-premises network and AWS. The connection terminates at a Direct Connect gateway. All access to the application must originate from the company's on-premises network and traffic must be encrypted in transit through the use of IPsec. The company is routing traffic through a VPN tunnel over the Direct Connect connection to provide the required encryption. A business continuity audit determines that the Direct Connect connection represents a potential single point of failure for access to the application. The company needs to remediate this issue as quickly as possible. Which approach will meet these requirements?

• A) Order a second Direct Connect connection to a different Direct Connect location. Terminate the second Direct Connect connection at the same Direct Connect gateway.
• B) Configure an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection over the internet. Terminate the VPN connection at a virtual private gateway in the secondary Region.
• C) Create a transit gateway. Attach the VPCs to the transit gateway, and connect the transit gateway to the Direct Connect gateway. Configure an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection, and terminate it at the transit gateway.
• D) Create a transit gateway. Attach the VPCs to the transit gateway, and connect the transit gateway to the Direct Connect gateway. Order a second Direct Connect connection, and terminate it at the transit gateway.
