A company operates an on-premises data center in the United States, connected to AWS via an AWS Direct Connect connection with a private VIF linked to a Direct Connect gateway. They recently opened a new data center in Europe, establishing a new Direct Connect connection and private VIF to the same Direct Connect gateway. The company aims to use Direct Connect SiteLink to create a private network between the US and Europe data centers.
What is the most operationally efficient solution to meet these requirements?
Explanation:
To establish a private network between the data center in the United States and the data center in Europe using Direct Connect SiteLink, the most operationally efficient manner is to use the existing private VIFs from each data center. Direct Connect SiteLink allows for the creation of private connections between on-premises networks over the AWS global network, leveraging existing Direct Connect connections and private VIFs. This approach avoids the need for additional VIFs or VPN connections, simplifying the network architecture and reducing operational overhead. Therefore, the correct solution is to enable SiteLink on the existing private VIFs.
