A company is migrating its hybrid network to AWS. They have two 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connections in a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). They need to ensure that traffic between their on-premises data center and their Amazon VPCs is encrypted in transit. The solution must support at least 5 Gbps of encrypted throughput. Which combination of steps should the Solutions Architect take? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

Configure MACsec on the Direct Connect connections.

Deploy AWS Site-to-Site VPN over the Direct Connect connections.

Use AWS Direct Connect dedicated connections.

Use AWS Direct Connect hosted connections.

Deploy a third-party VPN appliance on an EC2 instance.

Enable AWS Shield Advanced on the Direct Connect connection.

How to approach this question

MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) provides Layer 2 encryption at line rate for Direct Connect. It requires dedicated connections.

Choosing IPsec VPN, forgetting the 1.25 Gbps per tunnel limit.
