AWS Direct Connect is the correct option because it provides a dedicated private connection between the corporate data center and AWS that supports predictable throughput and steady latency for replication and daily operations.

AWS Direct Connect bypasses the public internet to deliver consistent bandwidth and lower, more stable latency. It supports dedicated and partner hosted connections and link aggregation so you can provision and manage capacity for production replication and ongoing traffic.

AWS VPN uses encrypted tunnels over the public internet so performance can vary and bandwidth is not guaranteed. That variability makes it less suitable when consistent throughput and steady latency are required.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network that accelerates delivery at the edge and it does not establish a private on premises to AWS network link for replication or steady latency.

Amazon Connect is a cloud contact center service and it does not provide hybrid network connectivity between a corporate data center and AWS.
