Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty ANS-C01
Question #: 60
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty ANS-C01 Questions]

A network engineer is designing a hybrid architecture that uses a 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection between the company's data center and two AWS Regions: us-east-1 and eu-west-1. The VPCs in us-east-1 are connected by a transit gateway and need to access several on-premises databases. According to company policy, only one VPC in eu-west-1 can be connected to one on-premises server. The on-premises network segments the traffic between the databases and the server.
How should the network engineer set up the Direct Connect connection to meet these requirements?

  • A. Create one hosted connection. Use a transit VIF to connect to the transit gateway in us-east-1. Use a private VIF to connect to the VPC in eu-west-1. Use one Direct. Connect gateway for both VIFs to route from the Direct Connect locations to the corresponding AWS Region along the path that has the lowest latency.
  • B. Create one hosted connection. Use a transit VIF to connect to the transit gateway in us-east-1. Use a private VIF to connect to the VPC in eu-west-1. Use two Direct Connect gateways, one for each VIF, to route from the Direct Connect locations to the corresponding AWS Region along the path that has the lowest latency.
  • C. Create one dedicated connection. Use a transit VIF to connect to the transit gateway in us-east-1. Use a private VIF to connect to the VPC in eu-west-1. Use one Direct Connect gateway for both VIFs to route from the Direct Connect locations to the corresponding AWS Region along the path that has the lowest latency.
  • D. Create one dedicated connection. Use a transit VIF to connect to the transit gateway in us-east-1. Use a private VIF to connect to the VPC in eu-west-1. Use two Direct Connect gateways, one for each VIF, to route from the Direct Connect locations to the corresponding AWS Region along the path that has the lowest latency.

Selected Answer: D
A and B are wrong, Direct Connect *hosted* connections only support 1 VIF per connection, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/limits.html C is wrong, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/direct-connect-transit-gateways.html > "You cannot attach a Direct Connect gateway to a transit gateway when the Direct Connect gateway is already associated with a virtual private gateway or is attached to a private virtual interface."

As Mishranihal737 pointed out, the other way round should be possible, so imo the above explanation for why C is wrong is misleading, while still providing the right answer (D). Beyond statements are the key to solve the problem: 1. "VPCs in us-east-1 are connected by a transit gateway and need to access several on-premises databases" 2. "only one VPC in eu-west-1 can be connected to one on-premises server" Hence, the VPCs in us-east-1 are not allowed to access the server. Using only one DX gateway would break with the requirement described in 2. and break with the segmentation of DB and server, because: "A Direct Connect gateway is a globally available resource. You can connect to any Region globally using a Direct Connect gateway." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/direct-connect-gateways-intro.html

But we can do the other way round, connect to tgw first and then to vgw ?

A and B - wrong: a hosted connection supports a single VIF only. C - wrong: you cannot attach both a private VIF and a transit VIF to the same transit GW. D - correct.

D is the correct answer. You cannot attach a Direct Connect gateway to a transit gateway when the Direct Connect gateway is already associated with a virtual private gateway or is attached to a private virtual interface.

D is the answer, but ideally in real life I would just use a transit gateway in the EU region as well and connect them to the same direct connect gateway instead of having to use two direct connect gateways due to mixing up private VIFS with transit VIFS

One Hosted connection only supports a single VIF, not two VIFs. Option D) is the answer.

B - correct. This solution meets the requirements of the company by using a single Direct Connect connection with two VIFs, one connected to the transit gateway in us-east-1 and the other connected to the VPC in eu-west-1. Two Direct Connect gateways are used, one for each VIF, to route traffic from the Direct Connect location to the corresponding AWS Region along the path that has the lowest latency. This setup ensures that traffic between the VPCs in us-east-1 and on-premises databases is routed through the transit gateway, while traffic between the VPC in eu-west-1 and the on-premises server is routed directly through the private VIF.
