Explanation

Migrating a 15 TB SAP HANA database via system replication requires sustained high bandwidth and a stable, low-latency network connection - AWS Direct Connect is the right choice for this phase because it provides dedicated bandwidth (avoiding internet congestion) that can support the initial data load and ongoing log shipping within the limited downtime window. After migration, the requirement is secure access for remote workers and business partners using an OpenVPN-compatible client. AWS Client VPN is built on the OpenVPN protocol, making it directly compatible. Option D combines Direct Connect for the migration phase with AWS Client VPN for ongoing user access. A public subnet with an internet gateway (A) is insecure. Site-to-Site VPN (B) is for network-to-network connectivity, not individual client access, and has lower bandwidth limits than Direct Connect for a 15 TB transfer.
