Correct answer: AWS VPN, AWS Direct Connect.
Why this is the answer
AWS VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows you to establish a secure, encrypted connection between your on-premises network and an Amazon VPC over the public internet. This is a cost-effective solution for many use cases. AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated, private network connection from your on-premises data center to AWS, bypassing the public internet. This offers higher bandwidth, lower latency, and a more consistent network experience compared to internet-based VPN connections. Elastic Load Balancing distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, and does not connect on-premises networks to VPCs. VPC peering connects two VPCs within AWS, not an on-premises network to a VPC. Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service that caches content at edge locations to improve delivery speed, and is unrelated to connecting on-premises networks to VPCs.
