A. B. C. D.

Answer - A and C.

The AWS documentation mentions the following.

A virtual private gateway is the VPN concentrator on the Amazon side of the VPN connection.

You create a virtual private gateway and attach it to the VPC from which you want to create the VPN connection.

A customer gateway is a physical device or software application on your side of the VPN connection.

When creating a VPN connection in AWS, the following components are required:

  1. Customer Gateway: The customer gateway is a physical or software-based appliance that is configured on the customer's side of the VPN connection. It establishes the connection between the customer's network and the virtual private gateway in AWS.

  2. Virtual Private Gateway: The virtual private gateway is a logical component of the VPN connection that is configured on the AWS side. It enables communication between the customer's network and the VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) in AWS.

  3. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): BGP is used for dynamic routing between the customer gateway and the virtual private gateway. It ensures that the most efficient and up-to-date routes are used for data transmission.

Therefore, options A, C, and D are required when creating a VPN connection in AWS. Option B, Internet Gateway, is not required for creating a VPN connection, but it is used to provide access to the Internet for resources within a VPC.
