Incomplete answer Direct Connect

[kung]

Scenario: “You are working for a multinational investment bank which has multiple cloud architectures across the globe. They have a VPC in the US East region for their East Coast office and another VPC in the US West for their West Coast office. There is a requirement to establish a low latency, high-bandwidth connection between their on-premises data center in Texas and both of their VPCs in AWS.”

The as correct marked answer however only mentions part of the solution.
Missing is IMO that also Direct Connect itself is required!

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the feedback.

“Set up an AWS Direct Connect Gateway with two virtual private gateways. Launch and connect the required Private Virtual Interfaces to the Direct Connect Gateway.”

This scenario requires a reliable connection from on-premises network to VPC on AWS. I think when you set up an AWS Direct Connect Gateway, it is implied that you have to set up and use a Direct Connect connection too. A Direct Connect Gateway won’t have a use if you didn’t have a Direct Connect connection.

I got a query on this question too. How can the 2 on prem data centres communicate with each other?
