Amazon Web Services ANS-C01 - Amazon AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty
A global film production company uses the AWS Cloud to encode and store its videocontent before distribution. The company's three global offices are connected to the us-east-1 Region through AWS Site-to-Site VPN links that terminate on a transit gateway with BGP routing activated.
The company recently started to produce content at a higher resolution to support 8K streaming. The size of the content files has increased to three times the size of the content files from the previous format. Uploads of files to Amazon EC2 instances are taking 10 times longer than they did with the previous format.
Which actions should a network engineer recommend to reduce the upload times? (Choose two.)
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 is developing an API-based application on AWS for its process workflow requirements. The API will be invoked by clients in the company's on-premises datacenters. The company has set up an AWS Direct Connect connection between on premises and AWS. A network engineer decides to implement the API as a private REST API in Amazon API Gateway. The network engineer wants to ensure that clients can reach the API endpoint through private communication.
Which solution can the network engineer use to invoke the API without any additional infrastructure setup?
A company has multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections between an on-premises environment and multiple VPCs. The Site-to-Site VPN connections use virtual private gateways and are configured with IPv4 addresses. The company hosts several internal applications in the VPCs.
Application users have reported that the applications are performing slowly. A networkengineer notices excessive latency in the network path that the VPN connections use. The network engineer needs to resolve the excessive latency.
Which solution will meet this requirement?
A company has a new AWS Direct Connect connection between its on-premises data center and the AWS Cloud. The company has created a new private VIF on this connection. However, the VIF status is DOWN.
A network engineer verifies that the physical connection status is UP and RUNNING based on information from the AWS Management Console. The network engineer checks the customer Direct Connect router and can see the ARP entry for the VLAN interface created for the private VIF at AWS.
What could be causing the private VIF to have a DOWN status?
A company has deployed its AWS environment in a single AWS Region. The environment consists of a few hundred application VPCs, a shared services VPC, and a VPN connection to the company’s on-premises environment. A network engineer needs to implement a transit gateway with the following requirements:
• Application VPCs must be isolated from each other.
• Bidirectional communication must be allowed between the application VPCs and the on-premises network.
• Bidirectional communication must be allowed between the application VPCs and the shared services VPC.
The network engineer creates the transit gateway with options disabled for default route table association and default route table propagation. The network engineer also creates the VPN attachment for the on-premises network and creates the VPC attachments for the application VPCs and the shared services VPC.
The network engineer must meet all the requirements for the transit gateway by designing a solution that needs the least number of transit gateway route tables.
Which combination of actions should the network engineer perform to accomplish this goal? (Choose two.)
A company runs a workload in a single VPC on AWS. The company’s architecture contains several interface VPC endpoints for AWS services, including Amazon CloudWatch Logs and AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). The endpoints are configured to use a shared security group. The security group is not used for any other workloads or resources.
After a security review of the environment, the company determined that the shared security group is more permissive than necessary. The company wants to make the rules associated with the security group more restrictive. The changes to the security group rules must not prevent the resources in the VPC from using AWS services through interface VPC endpoints. The changes must prevent unnecessary access.
The security group currently uses the following rules:
• Inbound - Rule 1
Protocol: TCP
Port: 443
Source: 0.0.0.0/0
• Inbound - Rule 2
Protocol: TCP
Port: 443
Source: VPC CIDR
• Outbound - Rule 1
Protocol: All
Port: All
Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
Which rule or rules should the company remove to meet with these requirements?
A company is deploying AWS Cloud WAN with edge locations in the us-east-1 Region and the ap-southeast-2 Region. Individual AWS Cloud WAN segments are configured for the development environment, the production environment, and the shared services environment at each edge location. Many new VPCs will be deployed for the environments and will be configured as attachments to the AWS Cloud WAN core network.
The company's network team wants to ensure that VPC attachments are configured for the correct segment. The network team will tag the VPC attachments by using the Environment key with a value of the corresponding environment segment name. The segment for the production environment in us-east-1 must require acceptance for attachment requests. AH other attachment requests must not require acceptance.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company has deployed Amazon EC2 instances in private subnets in a VPC. The EC2 instances must initiate any requests that leave the VPC, including requests to the company's on-premises data center over an AWS Direct Connect connection. No resources outside the VPC can be allowed toopen communications directly to the EC2 instances.
The on-premises data center's customer gateway is configured with a stateful firewall device that filters for incoming and outgoing requests to and from multiple VPCs. In addition, the company wants to use a single IP match rule to allow all the communications from the EC2 instances to its data center from a single IP address.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
A company runs workloads in multiple VPCs. The company needs to securely access a workload in one of the VPCs, named VPC-A, from an on-premises data center. A network engineer sets up an AWS Site-to-SiteVPN connection to a transit gateway. The network engineer configures dynamic routing for the connection, and communication works properly.
Recently, the owner of VPC-A added another CIDR range to the VPC. The VPC-A owner created workloads that use the additional CIDR range.
The company's on-premises network is unable to reach the new workloads. The network engineer needs to resolve the network connectivity issue and ensure that connectivity will not be affected if additional VPC CIDR ranges are added to the VPC in the future.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?
