ANS-C01Domain 2: Network ImplementationDNS & Edge RoutinghardSingle choice

A Transit Gateway connects prod, dev, and shared-services VPCs. Prod and dev must NOT reach each other but both must reach shared services. How is this enforced at the TGW layer?

A.Put all attachments in one TGW route table

One shared table gives full mesh — violates isolation.

B.Separate TGW route tables — prod and dev each propagate to the shared table but not to each other's table

Correct. Route-table design enforces segmentation natively.

C.Security groups only — TGW can't isolate

SGs filter at the instance level — routing-layer isolation is the stronger control.

D.Delete the dev attachment

That removes dev's connectivity entirely.

Why this answer

TGW route tables control which attachments can reach each other: place shared services in a table both prod and dev route to, while keeping prod and dev in separate tables without mutual propagation — segmentation at the routing layer.
