Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 233 discussion

A company has three VPCs named Development, Testing, and Production in the us-east-1 Region. The three VPCs need to be connected to an on-premises data center and are designed to be separate to maintain security and prevent any resource sharing. A solutions architect needs to find a scalable and secure solution.
What should the solutions architect recommend?

  • A. Create an AWS Direct Connect connection and a VPN connection for each VPC to connect back to the data center.
  • B. Create VPC peers from all the VPCs to the Production VPC. Use an AWS Direct Connect connection from the Production VPC back to the data center.
  • C. Connect VPN connections from all the VPCs to a VPN in the Production VPC. Use a VPN connection from the Production VPC back to the data center.
  • D. Create a new VPC called Network. Within the Network VPC, create an AWS Transit Gateway with an AWS Direct Connect connection back to the data center. Attach all the other VPCs to the Network VPC.

B, C, and D enable resources sharing between VPCs, therefore none of them can be the correct answer. The elimination, A is the answer. Also VPN on top of DX to provide encryption.

A is wrong : A provides redundancy not scalability

Why would it not provide scalability? You could, when needed, add a VPN for any new VPC. Scalable, isn't it?

Answer should be A. Transit gateway can be used to isolate resources across vpc by connecting it to direct connect and is a very scalable way of doing things but in option presented its mentioned that transit gateway is created within VPC which is incorrect as in the the route table attached to Transit Gateway the VPCs can be attached so VPC s are attached within Transit gateway kind of not other way around. Nice question!!!!

Answer is D. You can configure routes to any destination in the transit gateway attachment in any transit gateway route table. The transit gateway attachment doesn't need to be associated with that specific route table. https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/transit-gateway-connect-vpcs-from-vpn/

Option D: Create a new VPC called Network. Within the Network VPC, create an AWS Transit Gateway with an AWS Direct Connect connection back to the data center. Attach all the other VPCs to the Network VPC.

Selected Answer: D
Option D is the recommended solution. The solution architect should create a new VPC called Network and create an AWS Transit Gateway within the Network VPC. An AWS Direct Connect connection should be established from the AWS Transit Gateway back to the data center. The other three VPCs should be attached to the Network VPC, and the traffic can be routed through the AWS Transit Gateway to the data center. This solution is scalable, secure, and maintains the separation between the VPCs. By using a single AWS Transit Gateway, the solution reduces complexity and simplifies the management of the network architecture. Additionally, this solution provides better control and monitoring capabilities, enabling the organization to maintain high levels of security and compliance.

Transit Gateway is a Regional resource and can connect thousands of VPCs within the same AWS Region. You can create multiple Transit Gateway instances per Region, and you can connect to a maximum of three Transit Gateway instances over a single Direct Connect connection for hybrid connectivity. Typically, you can use just one Transit Gateway instance connecting all your VPC instances in a given Region, and use Transit Gateway routing tables to isolate them wherever needed. There is a valid case for creating multiple Transit Gateway instances to limit misconfiguration blast radius, segregate control plane operations and administrative ease-of-use https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/building-scalable-secure-multi-vpc-network-infrastructure/building-scalable-secure-multi-vpc-network-infrastructure.pdf

A as you do not need to create a new VPC network for using transit gateway. It is not like NAT gateway which needs to be in public subnet within VPC.
