You are designing a hybrid architecture using a 1 Gbps Direct Connect from the data center to two Regions (us-east-1 and eu-west-1). VPCs in us-east-1 connect via a transit gateway and must access on-prem databases. Policy allows only one eu-west-1 VPC to connect to a single on-prem server. The on-prem network segments traffic between the databases and that server. How should the Direct Connect be configured to meet these constraints?

The correct answer is to create one dedicated connection with two Direct Connect gateways. A dedicated connection is required for a 1 Gbps Direct Connect. A transit VIF is correctly used to connect to the Transit Gateway in us-east-1 to allow multiple VPCs to access on-prem databases. A private VIF is correctly used for the single eu-west-1 VPC to access a specific on-prem server, aligning with the policy and on-prem segmentation. Two separate Direct Connect gateways are necessary because a single Direct Connect gateway can only be associated with VIFs in the same AWS account and in the same region as the Direct Connect gateway itself. Since the VPCs are in different regions (us-east-1 and eu-west-1), two Direct Connect gateways are needed to route traffic to their respective regions. Incorrect options: "Hosted connection" is incorrect because a 1 Gbps connection typically requires a dedicated connection. "One Direct Connect gateway for both VIFs" is incorrect because Direct Connect gateways are regional resources and cannot span multiple AWS regions.
