What is the primary purpose of AWS Direct Connect?

To create and manage virtual networks
To establish a dedicated network connection between your on-premises environment and AWS
To manage multiple AWS accounts
To distribute content globally

The correct answer is: To establish a dedicated network connection between your on-premises environment and AWS

Direct Connect is designed to allow for a dedicated, private connection between an on-premises environment and AWS. This is valuable for companies that require direct access to AWS services and resources, providing a more secure and consistent connection compared to using the public internet. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the primary purpose of Direct Connect. Option A refers to managing virtual networks, which is more related to Amazon VPC. Option C talks about managing multiple AWS accounts, which could be done through various other tools such as AWS Organizations. Option D discusses content distribution, which is more closely related to Amazon CloudFront.
