Selected Answer: C

Answer: C. Establish two Direct Connect connections to the cloud provider using two different suppliers. Having two physically separate private connections—preferably from two different ISPs/carriers—provides redundancy and helps ensure the highest levels of reliability and availability. This approach mitigates the risk of a single point of failure in the connection to the cloud provider.
