Your Amazon Kinesis application receives data streams from thousands of devices. The data is then stored in an on-premises Hadoop cluster. You are concerned about historical data that shows periods of sustained traffic between 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps during peaks. You must ensure that you have secure, fault- tolerant connectivity between Amazon Kinesis and your data center. What should you implement to address these needs?

Reference / correct answer:
Deploy three 1-Gbps Direct Connect connections.
Most accepted answer: B. Deploy three 1-Gbps Direct Connect connections.

Ans: B With three 1Gbps direct connection, you can loose one and still get your required bandwith (1-2Gbps) upvoted 13 times StelSen 4 years, 9 months ago This explanation is great. upvoted 2 times ...

kpr2022 mentions the need for security so he must select D. But isn't Direct Connect secure just because it is a direct point-to-point? That's why AWS doesn't feel the need to encrypt it. However, if you really want to you can encrypt traffic over Direct Connect anyway. I am thinking B is the correct answer. upvoted 1 times
Selected Answer: B My vote is B as VPN can hadle 1.25 Gbps and it is less than peak 2 Gbps upvoted 1 times
B. Three connections are required to provide fault tolerance. All of the other options would be unable to handle the peak loads over 1 Gbps without exceeding the available bandwidth. upvoted 1 times
