AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company's application has a high volume of data transfer to and from its virtual private cloud, leading to increased operational expenses. Which service should be considered to optimize connectivity costs while maintaining a consistent bandwidth to the corporate datacenter?
A Direct Connect service is suitable for optimizing connectivity costs while maintaining a consistent bandwidth between a datacenter and a virtual private cloud. It provides a private, dedicated network connection that can help to reduce data transfer costs and improve network performance, making it more cost-effective for high-volume data transfers compared to standard internet connections. Comparatively, a Transit Gateway focuses on connecting multiple networks and not primarily on cost reduction for high-volume data transfer scenarios. Load Balancers are intended for traffic distribution and not for reducing interconnectivity costs. Similarly, a VPN solution, though secure, typically incurs higher costs for substantial data throughput and can experience variable internet performance.
