What is the MOST efficient and quickest way to establish this connectivity?
Create an AWS VPN CloudHub architecture, and use software VPN to connect to the VPC in region us-west-2.
Create a new Direct Connect connection between the data center and region us-west-2.
Create a VPC peering connection between the VPC in region us-east-1 and us-west-2, and access the VPC in us-west-2 from the data center.
Use Direct Connect gateway with the existing Direct Connect connection to connect to the Virtual Private Gateway of the VPC in region us-west-2.
Explanations:
AWS VPN CloudHub is used for connecting multiple VPCs across different regions, but it introduces latency and is not as efficient as using Direct Connect for low-latency, high-performance requirements.
Creating a new Direct Connect connection between the data center and us-west-2 would require a new physical connection and is not the most efficient or quickest method compared to using an existing Direct Connect connection with a Direct Connect gateway.
VPC peering cannot span across AWS regions, so a peering connection between VPCs in different regions is not possible.
Using a Direct Connect gateway allows the existing Direct Connect connection to be extended to a VPC in another region, ensuring consistent network performance and low-latency without the need for a new physical connection.
I plan that the answer is:
Use Direct Connect gateway with the existing Direct Connect connection to connect to the Virtual Private Gateway of the VPC in region us-west-2.
