Amazon Web Services ANS-C01 - Amazon AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty
A company is hosting an application on Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB). A solutions architect added EC2 instances in a second Availability Zone to improve the availability of the application. The solutions architect added the instances to the NLB target group.
The company's operations team notices that traffic is being routed only to the instances in the first Availability Zone.
What is the MOST operationally efficient solution to resolve this issue?
An organization is using a VPC endpoint for Amazon S3. When the security group rules for a set of instances were initially configured, access was restricted to allow traffic only to the IP addresses of the Amazon S3 API endpoints in the region from the published JSON file. The application was working properly, but now is logging a growing number of timeouts when connecting with Amazon S3. No internet gateway is configured for the VPC.
Which solution will fix the connectivity failures with the LEAST amount of effort?
A company has an order processing system that needs to keep credit card numbers encrypted. The company's customer-facing application runs as an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) service behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in the us-west-2 Region. An Amazon CloudFront distribution is configured with the ALB as the origin. The company uses a third-party trusted certificate authority to provision its certificates.
The company is using HTTPS for encryption in transit. The company needs additional field-level encryption to keep sensitive data encrypted during processing so that only certain application components can decrypt the sensitive data.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
A company uses AWS Network Firewall to protect outgoing traffic for multiple VPCs that are in the same AWS account. Each VPC contains Amazon EC2 instances that host the company's applications. Each EC2 instance is tagged with the name of the application it hosts. The EC2 instances are in Auto Scaling groups.
A Network Firewall stateful rule group must remain up-to-date, even when an Auto Scaling group launches and terminates EC2 instances.
Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST implementation and administrative effort?
A company's AWS infrastructure is spread across more than 50 accounts and across five AWS Regions. The company needs to manage its security posture with simplified administration and maintenance for all the AWS accounts. The company wants to use AWS Firewall Manager to manage the firewall rules and requirements.
The company creates an organization with all features enabled in AWS Organizations.
Which combination of steps should the company take next to meet the requirements? (Select THREE.)
A company uses the us-east-1 Region and the ap-south-1 Region for its business units (BUs). The BUs are named BU-1 and BU-2. For each BU. there are two VPCs in us-east-1 and one VPC in ap-south-1.
Because of workload isolation requirements, resources can communicate within the same BU but cannot communicate with resources in the other BU. The company plans to add more BUs and plans to expand into more Regions.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?
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.)
All IP addresses within a 10.0.0.0/16 VPC are fully utilized with application servers across two Availability Zones. The application servers need to send frequent UDP probes to a single central authentication server on the Internet to confirm that is running up-to-date packages. The network is designed for application servers to use a single NAT gateway for internal access. Testing reveals that a few of the servers are unable to communicate with the authentication server.
A company is building a new workload on AWS that uses an Application Load Balancer (ALB) The company has configured a new ALB target group that uses slow start mode. A team begins registering Amazon EC2 Instances as targets in the new target group. During testing, the team observes that the targets did not enter slow start mode.
What caused the targets to not enter slow start mode?
You deploy an Amazon EC2 instance that runs a web server into a subnet in a VPC. An Internet gateway is attached, and the main route table has a default route (0.0.0.0/0) configured with a targetof the Internet gateway.
The instance has a security group configured to allow as follows:
Protocol: TCP
Port: 80 inbound, nothing outbound
The Network ACL for the subnet is configured to allow as follows:
Protocol: TCP
Port: 80 inbound, nothing outbound
When you try to browse to the web server, you receive no response.
Which additional step should you take to receive a successful response?
