Which feature allows you to create a dedicated network connection from your premises to AWS?

AWS Direct Connect
AWS VPN
AWS Snowball
AWS Transfer Acceleration

The correct answer is: AWS Direct Connect

AWS Direct Connect is the feature that enables you to establish a dedicated network connection from your on-premises data center or office directly to AWS. This connection bypasses the public internet, allowing for a more reliable and consistent network performance. It is particularly beneficial for applications that require high bandwidth or low latency, such as database replication, video streaming, or critical application workloads. Direct Connect provides several advantages over traditional internet connections, including enhanced security, predictable performance, and reduced costs associated with high data transfer volumes. By providing a private, dedicated line, it can significantly improve the overall network experience when accessing AWS resources. Other options serve different purposes: AWS VPN creates encrypted tunnels over the public internet, AWS Snowball is a data transfer service using physical appliances, and AWS Transfer Acceleration speeds up the transfer of files to and from Amazon S3 over the public internet, but none of these options provide the dedicated physical connectivity that Direct Connect does.
