Explanation
AWS Site-to-Site VPN is the correct solution because:
- Fast Deployment: Can be set up within hours or days, meeting the 1-week requirement
- Secure Connection: Provides encrypted IPsec VPN tunnels between on-premises networks and AWS VPCs
- Cost-Effective: No dedicated physical connections required
- Internet-Based: Uses existing internet connections
Why not the other options:
- AWS Direct Connect: Requires physical cross-connects which typically take weeks to months to provision
- Amazon VPC: This is a virtual network service, not a connectivity solution between on-premises and AWS
- Edge location: These are part of Amazon CloudFront for content delivery, not for secure network connections
AWS Site-to-Site VPN is specifically designed for quickly establishing secure connections between on-premises networks and AWS cloud resources using standard VPN protocols.
