The company needs a secure network connection from its on-premises data center to AWS within one week. Which solution meets this requirement?

AWS Site-to-Site VPN establishes a secure, encrypted connection between your on-premises network and your Amazon VPC over the public internet. It can be set up quickly, often within hours or a few days, making it ideal for the one-week deadline. AWS Direct Connect offers a dedicated private connection, which is more reliable and faster but typically takes several weeks or months to provision due to physical circuit installation. Amazon VPC is a virtual network within AWS and doesn't provide the on-premises connectivity itself. An Edge location is part of AWS's global infrastructure for services like CloudFront and Route 53, not a direct network connectivity solution for hybrid cloud.
