Final Step for Creating a Virtual Interface with Sub 1Gbps Hosted Connection

Answer - C.

This is mentioned in the AWS Documentation.

If you requested a sub-1G connection from your selected partner, they create a hosted connection for you (you cannot create it yourself)

You must accept it in the AWS Direct Connect console before you can create a virtual interface.

All other options are incorrect since it is clearly mentioned in the AWS Documentation how the hosted connection should be accepted.

Before creating a virtual interface using a Sub 1Gbps hosted connection, the final step that needs to be carried out is to accept the hosted connection in the AWS Direct Connect console. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

When you want to establish a dedicated network connection between your on-premises infrastructure and AWS, you can use AWS Direct Connect. To establish this connection, you need to create a hosted connection that represents the physical connection between your on-premises infrastructure and AWS.

After creating the hosted connection, the next step is to accept it in the AWS Direct Connect console. This step confirms that you are the owner of the AWS account associated with the hosted connection, and you authorize the connection to be used for data transfer.

Option A, "Create the hosted connection in the console" is incorrect because it is the first step in establishing the connection and needs to be done before the final step.

Option B, "Request for an AWS Direct Connect connection via AWS Support" is incorrect because it is not a requirement for creating a Sub 1Gbps hosted connection. Additionally, AWS Direct Connect can be provisioned without contacting AWS Support.

Option D, "Raise a support ticket to accept the hosted connection" is incorrect because you don't need to raise a support ticket to accept the hosted connection. You can do it yourself in the AWS Direct Connect console.
