Explanation

AWS Site-to-Site VPN is a cost-effective way to securely connect your on-premises data center with AWS resources. In this scenario: Applications in private subnetsrequire access to the API hosted in the on-premises data center. A Site-to-Site VPN connectionis a secure and cost-efficient option to route traffic between the VPC and on-premises resources. Transit GatewayandPrivateLinkare not cost-effective for this use case. NAT Gatewayonly provides internet access for private subnets, which is not suitable for reaching an on-premises resource.
