Which AWS service gives a company the ability to use a private, dedicated connection between a VPC and an on-premises data center?

Explanations:

AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection from the on-premises data center to an Amazon VPC, enabling a private and reliable connection.

Amazon API Gateway is used to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale, but it does not provide dedicated network connectivity.

AWS Systems Manager is a management service that helps automate tasks across AWS resources, but it does not facilitate network connections between on-premises and AWS.

AWS CloudFormation is a service for modeling and setting up AWS resources using templates, but it does not establish private connections between VPCs and on-premises locations.
