AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

Explanation

AWS VPN and AWS Direct Connect are the correct services that enable users to connect on-premises networks to a VPC:

✅ AWS VPN

• Creates secure encrypted connections between on-premises networks and AWS VPCs over the public internet
• Provides site-to-site VPN connectivity
• Cost-effective solution for connecting remote offices

✅ AWS Direct Connect

• Establishes dedicated private network connections from on-premises infrastructure to AWS
• Bypasses the public internet for better performance and reliability
• Provides consistent network performance

❌ Why other options are incorrect:

• Elastic Load Balancing: Distributes incoming traffic across multiple targets, not for on-premises connectivity
• VPC peering: Connects two VPCs within AWS, not for on-premises connections
• Amazon CloudFront: Content delivery network (CDN) for distributing content globally, not for network connectivity

These two services provide the primary methods for establishing secure, reliable connections between on-premises networks and AWS VPCs.
