A network engineer is designing a hybrid architecture that uses a 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection between the company's data center and two AWS Regions: us-east-1 and eu-west-1. The VPCs in us-east-1 are connected by a transit gateway and need to access several on-premises databases. According to company policy, only one VPC in eu-west-1 can be connected to one on-premises server. The on-premises network segments the traffic between the databases and the server. How should the network engineer set up the Direct Connect connection to meet these requirements?

This setup meets the requirements as follows: The dedicated connection allows for a more direct and secure connection between the on-premises network and the AWS Regions. Using two separate Direct Connect gateways, one for each VIF, ensures that traffic is routed to the corresponding AWS Region along the path with the lowest latency. This setup also allows for better isolation and security of the on-premises networks, as each connection is dedicated to a specific region.

D - have to change. As per that1guy said, hosted connection only supports 1 VIF
