Q90 / 100

What is the difference between "AWS PrivateLink" and a "VPC Peering" connection for accessing services across VPCs or accounts?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) PrivateLink provides private connectivity to a specific service via an ENI in your VPC without exposing the whole network, avoiding IP overlap and route changes, while VPC Peering connects two whole VPCs, needing non-overlapping CIDRs and route updates

A

Correct Answer

PrivateLink provides private connectivity to a specific service via an ENI in your VPC without exposing the whole network, avoiding IP overlap and route changes, while VPC Peering connects two whole VPCs, needing non-overlapping CIDRs and route updates

Explanation

PrivateLink exposes a specific service through an ENI, offering more granular, scalable access without full network connectivity or CIDR conflicts, while VPC Peering links entire networks and requires careful IP address planning since peered VPCs cannot have overlapping CIDR ranges.
