AWS SAP-C02 · Question 01 · Domain 1.1: Network Connectivity

A global enterprise is redesigning its network architecture across 50 AWS accounts. They require transitive routing between all VPCs and three on-premises data centers. The solution must support up to 10 Gbps of encrypted traffic per data center, minimize operational overhead, and ensure that traffic between VPCs in the same region does not traverse the internet. Which architecture meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Answer options:

A.

Provision AWS Direct Connect. Use AWS Transit Gateway with VPN attachments for encryption. Peer Transit Gateways across regions.

B.

Provision AWS Direct Connect with MACsec. Create a Direct Connect Gateway attached to a Transit Gateway in each region. Attach VPCs to the local TGW.

C.

Use AWS VPN CloudHub with multiple Site-to-Site VPNs. Connect to a Transit Gateway in a central region.

D.

Provision Direct Connect. Use VPC peering between all VPCs and attach the DX connection to a central transit VPC.

How to approach this question

Identify the need for 10 Gbps encryption (MACsec) and transitive routing (Transit Gateway).

Full Answer

B.Provision AWS Direct Connect with MACsec. Create a Direct Connect Gateway attached to a Transit Gateway in each region. Attach VPCs to the local TGW.✓ Correct
Use AWS Direct Connect with MACsec. Create a Direct Connect Gateway and associate it with an AWS Transit Gateway in each region. Attach all VPCs to the local Transit Gateway.
Direct Connect with MACsec provides line-rate encryption. DX Gateway combined with Transit Gateway allows scalable, transitive routing across multiple accounts.

Common mistakes

Choosing VPN over DX, which limits bandwidth.
