Question
A company has two AWS Direct Connect connections between Direct Connect locations and the company's on-premises environment in the US. The company uses the connections to communicate with AWS workloads that run in the us-east-1 Region. The company has a transit gateway that connects several VPCs. The Direct Connect connections terminate at a Direct Connect gateway and the transit VIFs to the transit gateway. The company recently acquired a smaller company that is based in Europe. The newly acquired company has only on-premises workloads. The newly acquired company does not expect to run workloads on AWS for the next 3 years. However, the newly acquired company requires connectivity to the parent company's AWS resources in us-east-1 and to the parent company's on-premises environment in the US. The parent company wants to use two new Direct Connect connections in Europe to provide the required connectivity. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead for the newly acquired company?
Options
- AAssociate new transit VIFs to the existing Direct Connect gateway. Configure the new transit VIFs
- BAssociate new transit VIFs to a new Direct Connect gateway and to a new transit gateway in the
- CAssociate new private VIFs to the existing Direct Connect gateway. Configure the existing transit
- DAssociate new private VIFs to a new Direct Connect gateway and to a new VPC in us-east-1.

Explanation
In this scenario, the company wants to provide connectivity from the newly acquired company in Europe to the existing AWS resources in the us-east-1 Region with minimal operational The best approach is to use Direct Connect SiteLink, which allows direct communication between two different Direct Connect locations (one in Europe and one in the US) via the existing Direct Connect gateway. By associating new transit VIFs (Virtual Interfaces) to the existing Direct Connect gateway and configuring Direct Connect SiteLink, the company can efficiently extend the existing network architecture with minimal additional configuration. This solution provides the required connectivity to both AWS resources and the on-premises environment in the US, leveraging the existing infrastructure without introducing significant complexity or the need for additional resources like new transit gateways or VPCs.
