Amazon PAS-C01 Exam - Topic 3 Question 66 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's PAS-C01 exam

Question #: 66
Topic #: 3

A company hosts its SAP NetWeaver workload on SAP HANA m the AWS Cloud The SAP NetWeaver application is protected by a cluster solution that uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux High Availability Add-On The duster solution uses an overlay IP address to ensure that the high availability cluster is still accessible during failover scenarios.

An SAP solutions architect needs to facilitate the network connection to this overlay IP address from multiple locations These locations include more than 25 VPCs other AWS Regions and the on-premises environment The company already has set up an AWS Direct Connect connection between the on-premises environment and AWS.

What should the SAP solutions architect do to meet these requirements in the MOST scalable manner?

AUse VPC peering between the VPCs to route traffic between them

BUse AWS Transit Gateway to connect the VPCs and on-premises networks together

CUse a Network Load Balancer to route connections to various targets within VPCs

DDeploy a Direct Connect gateway to connect the Direct Connect connection over a private VIF to one or more VPCs in any accounts

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

AWS Transit Gateway allows the SAP solutions architect to connect multiple VPCs and on-premises networks together in a scalable manner. It acts as a hub that controls how traffic is routed between the connected networks. By attaching the VPCs and the on-premises environment to the Transit Gateway, the SAP solutions architect can establish a single connection to the overlay IP address in the high availability cluster, ensuring that the cluster is accessible from all locations.

Direct Connect gateway is a solid choice for connecting VPCs!

Definitely not a fan of Network Load Balancers for this scenario.

Surprised they didn't mention using a VPN for this!

I think VPC peering could work too, but not as scalable.

Hmm, I wonder if the SAP solutions architect has considered using a virtual router to simplify the network setup.

D) is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if it's the most scalable approach.

C) could work, but a Network Load Balancer might be overkill for this use case.

B) seems like the most scalable option to connect all the VPCs and on-premises networks.

Deploying a Direct Connect gateway sounds familiar, but I’m uncertain if it’s the best fit for connecting all those VPCs together.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think a Network Load Balancer is more about distributing traffic rather than connecting multiple networks.

I feel like AWS Transit Gateway could be the right choice here since it simplifies connections between multiple VPCs and on-premises.

I remember studying about VPC peering, but I think it might not scale well with so many VPCs involved.

I'm not sure if the Network Load Balancer in Option C would be the best choice here. It seems more focused on routing within VPCs, rather than connecting the different networks together.

I'm leaning towards Option D with the Direct Connect gateway. That way we can leverage the existing Direct Connect connection and connect it to multiple VPCs, which seems like a good fit for the multi-location requirement.

Option B with the AWS Transit Gateway seems like the most scalable solution here. It can connect all the VPCs and the on-premises network in a centralized way, which should meet the requirements.

I'm a bit confused by the concept of an "overlay IP address" for the high availability cluster. I'll need to make sure I understand how that works before I can decide on the best approach.

This seems like a tricky question, but I think I have a good strategy. I'll start by carefully reading through the details to understand the key requirements, like the need for scalability and connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks.
