Answer - B and D.

By default, all other options become invalid.

This is given in the AWS Documentationextension of your corporate datacenter.

VPN Connection Pricing.

$0.05 per VPN Connection-hour.

$0.048 per VPN Connection-hour for connections to the Tokyo Region and Osaka-Local Region.

$0.065 per VPN Connection-hour for AWS GovCloud (US) Region.

If you choose to create a VPN Connection to your VPC using a Virtual Private Gateway, you are charged for each "VPN Connection-hour" that your VPN connection is provisioned and available.

Each partial VPN Connection-hour consumed is billed as a full hour.

You also incur standard AWS data transfer charges for all data transferred via the VPN Connection.

If you no longer wish to be charged for a VPN Connection, you simply terminate your VPN Connection using the AWS Management Console, command-line interface, or API.

When using a VPN connection between an on-premises data center and AWS, there are several factors that can impact the cost of the VPN connection. The two correct options to consider when looking at the cost of VPN connections are:

  1. DataTransfer In: This is the amount of data that is transferred from your on-premises data center to AWS. This data transfer can occur over the VPN connection and can result in charges being incurred. AWS charges for data transfer in based on the amount of data transferred in gigabytes (GB) per month.

  2. DataTransfer Out: This is the amount of data that is transferred from AWS to your on-premises data center. This data transfer can also occur over the VPN connection and can result in charges being incurred. AWS charges for data transfer out based on the amount of data transferred in gigabytes (GB) per month.

  3. Virtual Private Gateway transfer out: This is the amount of data that is transferred from the Virtual Private Gateway to another AWS resource in the same region. This can also impact the cost of the VPN connection and is charged based on the amount of data transferred in gigabytes (GB) per month.

  4. VPN connection hours: This refers to the amount of time that the VPN connection is established between the on-premises data center and AWS. AWS charges for VPN connection hours based on the number of hours that the connection is active.

Therefore, when calculating the cost of the VPN connection, you will need to take into account the data transfer in and out, virtual private gateway transfer out, and VPN connection hours. It is important to monitor these factors regularly to ensure that you are aware of any changes in cost and can adjust your usage accordingly to optimize costs.
