A company is moving its on-premises network from a Virginia data center to a New York data center. Both the Virginia and New York Direct Connect locations are in the us-east-1 Region. The company must move a private VIF on an existing Direct Connect hosted connection from Virginia to New York. On premises accesses VPCs through a Direct Connect gateway in us-east-1. A new Direct Connect hosted connection has already been ordered for the New York location. Which approach will accomplish this with the MINIMUM downtime?

The correct approach minimizes downtime by leveraging the existing Direct Connect gateway and establishing the new connection in parallel. Creating a new private VIF on the new hosted connection and attaching it to the existing Direct Connect gateway allows both the old and new paths to be active simultaneously. Configuring BGP on the new VIF as a backup route ensures it's ready. The switchover is then a controlled process of shutting down BGP on the old VIF during a maintenance window, allowing traffic to seamlessly fail over to the new path. The first incorrect option creates a new Direct Connect gateway, which is unnecessary and adds complexity, as VPCs would need to be re-associated. The third and fourth incorrect options involve migrating or deleting and recreating the VIF during a maintenance window, which would cause significant downtime as the old connection would be unavailable before the new one is fully established and routing is propagated.
