A company is hosting an application on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The instances are in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group. Because of a recent change to a security group, external users cannot access the application.
A network engineer needs to prevent this downtime from happening again. The network engineer must implement a solution that remediates noncompliant changes to security groups.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A network engineer needs to standardize a company's approach to centralizing and managing interface VPC endpoints for private communication with AWS services. The company uses AWS Transit Gateway for inter-VPC connectivity between AWS accounts through a hub-and-spokemodel. The company's network services team must manage all Amazon Route 53 zones and interface endpoints within a shared services AWS account. The company wants to use this centralized model to provide AWS resources with access to AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) without sending traffic over the public internet.
What should the network engineer do to meet these requirements?
A company has critical VPC workloads that connect to an on-premises data center through two redundant active-passive AWS Direct Connect connections. However, a recent outage on one Direct Connect connection revealed that it takes more than a minute for traffic to fail over to the secondary Direct Connect connection. The company wants to reduce the failover time from minutes to seconds.
Which solution will provide the LARGEST reduction in the BGP failover time?
A company has agreed to collaborate with a partner for a research project. The company has multiple VPCs in the us-east-1 Region that use CIDR blocks within 10.10.0.0/16. The VPCs are connected by a transit gateway that is named TGW-C in us-east-1. TGW-C has an Autonomous System Number (ASN) configuration value of 64520.
The partner has multiple VPCs in us-east-1 that use CIDR blocks within 172.16.0.0/16. The VPCs are connected by a transit gateway that is named TGW-P in us-east-1. TGW-P has an ASN configuration value of 64530.
A network engineer needs to establish network connectivity between the company's VPCs and the partner's VPCs in us-east-1.
Which solution will meet these requirements with MINIMUM changes to both networks?
A company has an internal web-based application that employees use. The company hosts the application over a VPN in the company's on-premises network. The application runs on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances in a private subnet behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in the same subnet. The instances are in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group.
During a recent security incident, SQL injection occurred on the application. A network engineer must implement a solution to prevent SQL injection attacks in the future.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)
A company plans to run a computationally intensive data processing application on AWS. The data is highly sensitive. The VPC must have no direct internet access, and the company has applied strict network security to control access.
Data scientists will transfer data from the company's on-premises data center to the instances by using an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection. The on-premises data center uses the network range 172.31.0.0/20 and will use the network range 172.31.16.0/20 in the application VPC.
The data scientists report that they can start new instances of the application but that they cannot transfer any data from the on-premises data center. A network engineer enables VPC flow logs and sends a ping to one of the instances to test reachability. The flow logs show the following:
The network engineer must recommend a solution that will give the data scientists the ability to transfer data from the on-premises data center.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company’s network engineer builds and tests network designs for VPCs in a development account. The company needs to monitor the changes that are made to network resources and must ensure strict compliance with network security policies. The company also needs access to the historical configurations of network resources.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company uses an AWS Direct Connect private VIF with a link aggregation group (LAG) that consists of two 10 Gbps connections. The company's security team has implemented a new requirement for external network connections to provide layer 2 encryption. The company's network team plans to use MACsec support for Direct Connect to meet the new requirement.
Which combination of steps should the network team take to implement this functionality? (Choose three.)
A company uses multiple AWS accounts and VPCs in a single AWS Region. The company must log all network traffic for Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon RDS databases. The company will use the log information to monitor and identify traffic flows in the event of a security incident. The information must be retained for 12 months but will be accessed infrequently after the first 90 days. The company must be able to view metadata that includes the vpc-id, subnet-id: and tcp-flags fields.
Which solution will meet these requirements at the LOWEST cost?
A company is building an API-based application on AWS and is using a microservices architecture for the design. The company is using a multi-account AWS environment that includes a separate AWS account for each microservice development team. Each team hosts its microservice in its own VPC that contains Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB).
A network engineer needs to use Amazon API Gateway in a shared services account to create an HTTP API to expose these microservices to external applications. The network engineer must ensure that access to the microservices can occur only over a private network. Additionally, the company must be able to control which entities from its internal network can connect to the microservices. In the future, the company will create more microservices that the company must be able to integrate with the application.
What is the MOST secure solution that meets these requirements?
