AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional SAP-C01 – Question769

A company is running a line-of-business (LOB) application on AWS to support its users. The application runs in one VPC, with a backup copy in a second VPC in a different AWS Region for disaster recovery. The company has a single AWS Direct Connect connection between its on-premises network and AWS. The connection terminates at a Direct Connect gateway.
All access to the application must originate from the company's on-premises network and traffic must be encrypted in transit through the use of IPsec. The company is routing traffic through a VPN tunnel over the Direct Connect connection to provide the required encryption.
A business continuity audit determines that the Direct Connect connection represents a potential single point of failure for access to the application. The company needs to remediate this issue as quickly as possible.
Which approach will meet these requirements?

A.
Order a second Direct Connect connection to a different Direct Connect location. Terminate the second Direct Connect connection at the same Direct Connect gateway.
B. Configure an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection over the internet. Terminate the VPN connection at a virtual private gateway in the secondary Region.
C. Create a transit gateway. Attach the VPCs to the transit gateway, and connect the transit gateway to the Direct Connect gateway. Configure an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection, and terminate it at the transit gateway.
D. Create a transit gateway. Attach the VPCs to the transit gateway, and connect the transit gateway to the Direct Connect gateway. Order a second Direct Connect connection, and terminate it at the transit gateway.

Correct Answer: B
