Question 50
In an AWS networking assessment, a regional workload exchanges extremely high east-west volumes between many peers and operators ignore transit gateway per-GB processing costs. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Centralization simplifies topology but may cost more for bulk traffic than appropriate local paths. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that the chosen topology meets security and scale needs at lower documented processing cost.
Incorrect Answers
Availability-zone placement can change recurring traffic charges even within a Region. For the stated conditions, centralization simplifies topology but may cost more for bulk traffic than appropriate local paths. The more specific mechanism is Transit Gateway data-processing charges can materially affect high-volume hub-and-spoke designs.
Keeping outbound traffic in the same AZ can reduce cross-zone forwarding and improve failure isolation. That property alone cannot account for the reported symptom; centralization simplifies topology but may cost more for bulk traffic than appropriate local paths.
Central segment policy can simplify management at scale compared with many unrelated regional route tables. That property alone cannot account for the reported symptom; centralization simplifies topology but may cost more for bulk traffic than appropriate local paths.
