Question 24

Two companies are merging. The companies have a large AWS presence with multiple VPCs and are designing connectivity between their AWS networks. Both companies are using AWS Direct Connect with a Direct Connect gateway. Each company also has a transit gateway and multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections from its transit gateway to on-premises resources. The new solution must optimize network visibility, throughput, logging, and monitoring.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

Configure a Site-to-Site VPN connection between each company's transit gateway to establish reachability between the respective networks. Configure VPC Flow Logs for all VPCs. Publish the flow logs to Amazon CloudWatch. Use VPC Reachability Analyzer to monitor connectivity.

Configure transit gateway peering between each company's transit gateway Configure VPC Flow Logs for all VPCs. Publish the flow logs to Amazon CloudWatch. Use VPC Reachability Analyzer to monitor connectivity.

Configure transit gateway peering between each company's transit gateway. Configure VPC Flow Logs for all VPCs. Publish the flow logs to Amazon CloudWatch. Use AWS Transit Gateway Network Manager to monitor the transit gateways, their respective connections, and the transit gateway peering link.

Question 25

A banking company is successfully operating its public mobile banking stack on AWS. The mobile banking stack is deployed in a VPC that includes private subnets and public subnets. The company is using IPv4 networking and has not deployed or supported IPv6 in the environment. The company has decided to adopt a third-party service provider's API and must integrate the API with the existing environment. The service provider’s API requires the use of IPv6.

A network engineer must turn on IPv6 connectivity for the existing workload that is deployed in a private subnet. The company does not want to permit IPv6 traffic from the public internet and mandates that the company's servers must initiate all IPv6 connectivity. The network engineer turns on IPv6 in the VPC and in the private subnets.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

Create an internet gateway and a NAT gateway in the VPC. Add a route to the existing subnet route tables to point IPv6 traffic to the NAT gateway.

Create an internet gateway and a NAT instance in the VPC. Add a route to the existing subnet route tables to point IPv6 traffic to the NAT instance.

Create an egress-only Internet gateway in the VPAdd a route to the existing subnet route tables to point IPv6 traffic to the egress-only internet gateway.

Create an egress-only internet gateway in the VPC. Configure a security group that denies all inbound traffic. Associate the security group with the egress-only internet gateway.

Question 26

An Australian ecommerce company hosts all of its services in the AWS Cloud and wants to expand its customer base to the United States (US). The company is targeting the western US for the expansion.

The company’s existing AWS architecture consists of four AWS accounts with multiple VPCs deployed in the ap-southeast-2 Region. All VPCs are attached to a transit gateway in ap-southeast-2. There are dedicated VPCs for each application service. The company also has VPCs for centralized security features such as proxies, firewalls, and logging.

The company plans to duplicate the infrastructure from ap-southeast-2 to the us-west-1 Region. A network engineer must establish connectivity between the various applications in the two Regions. The solution must maximize bandwidth, minimize latency and minimize operational overhead.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

Create VPN attachments between the two transit gateways. Configure the VPN attachments to use BGP routing between the two transit gateways.

Peer the transit gateways in each Region. Configure routing between the two transit gateways for each Region's IP addresses.

Create a VPN server in a VPC in each Region. Update the routing to point to the VPN servers for the IP addresses in alternate Regions.

Attach the VPCs in us-west-1 to the transit gateway in ap-southeast-2.

Question 27

A banking company has an application that must connect to specific public IP addresses from a VPC. A network engineer has configured routes in the route table that is associated with the application's subnet to the required public IP addresses through an internet gateway.

The network engineer needs to set up email notifications that will alert the network engineer when a user adds a default route to the application subnet's route table with the internet gateway as a target.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST implementation effort?

Options:

Create an AWS Lambda function that reads the routes in the route table and sends an email notification. Configure the Lambda function to send an email notification if any route is configured with 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 CIDRs to the internet gateway. Configure the Lambda function to run every minute.

Create an AWS Lambda function that will be invoked by an Amazon EC2 CreateRoute API call. Configure the Lambda function to send an email notification. Configure the Lambda function to send an email notification if any route is configured with 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 CIDRs to the internet gateway.

Create AWS Config rules for the route table by using the internet-gateway-authorized-vpc-only managed rule. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to match the AWS Config rule and to route to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to send an email notification.

Create an AWS Config rule for the route table by using the no-unrestricted-route-to-igw managed rule. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to match the AWS Config rule and to route to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to send an email notification.
