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?

  • A. Enable the new Availability Zone on the NLB
  • B. Create a new NLB for the instances in the second Availability Zone
  • C. Enable proxy protocol on the NLB
  • D. Create a new target group with the instances in both Availability Zones


Answer : A

A network engineer needs to set up an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to run a Linux-based network appliance in a highly available architecture. The network engineer is configuring the new launch template for the Auto Scaling group.
In addition to the primary network interface the network appliance requires a second network interface that will be used exclusively by the application to exchange traffic with hosts over the internet. The company has set up a Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) pool that includes an Elastic IP address that should be used as the public IP address for the second network interface.
How can the network engineer implement the required architecture?

  • A. Configure the two network interfaces in the launch template. Define the primary network interface to be created in one of the private subnets. For the second network interface, select one of the public subnets. Choose the BYOIP pool ID as the source of public IP addresses.
  • B. Configure the primary network interface in a private subnet in the launch template. Use the user data option to run a cloud-init script after boot to attach the second network interface from a subnet with auto-assign public IP addressing enabled.
  • C. Create an AWS Lambda function to run as a lifecycle hook of the Auto Scaling group when an instance is launching. In the Lambda function, assign a network interface to an AWS Global Accelerator endpoint.
  • D. During creation of the Auto Scaling group, select subnets for the primary network interface. Use the user data option to run a cloud-init script to allocate a second network interface and to associate an Elastic IP address from the BYOIP pool.


Answer : D

A company delivers applications over the internet. An Amazon Route 53 public hosted zone is the authoritative DNS service for the company and its internet applications, all of which are offered from the same domain name.
A network engineer is working on a new version of one of the applications. All the application's components are hosted in the AWS Cloud. The application has a three-tier design. The front end is delivered through Amazon EC2 instances that are deployed in public subnets with Elastic IP addresses assigned. The backend components are deployed in private subnets from RFC1918.
Components of the application need to be able to access other components of the application within the application's VPC by using the same host names as the host names that are used over the public internet. The network engineer also needs to accommodate future DNS changes, such as the introduction of new host names or the retirement of DNS entries.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

  • A. Add a geoproximity routing policy in Route 53.
  • B. Create a Route 53 private hosted zone for the same domain name Associate the application’s VPC with the new private hosted zone.
  • C. Enable DNS hostnames for the application's VPC.
  • D. Create entries in the private hosted zone for each name in the public hosted zone by using the corresponding private IP addresses.
  • E. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule that runs when AWS CloudTrail logs a Route 53 API call to the public hosted zone. Create an AWS Lambda function as the target of the rule. Configure the function to use the event information to update the private hosted zone.
  • F. Add the private IP addresses in the existing Route 53 public hosted zone.

Answer : C

A company has stateful security appliances that are deployed to multiple Availability Zones in a centralized shared services VPC. The AWS environment includes a transit gateway that is attached to application VPCs and the shared services VPC. The application VPCs have workloads that are deployed in private subnets across multiple Availability Zones. The stateful appliances in the shared services VPC inspect all east west (VPC-to-VPC) traffic.
Users report that inter-VPC traffic to different Availability Zones is dropping. A network engineer verified this claim by issuing Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) pings between workloads in different Availability Zones across the application VPCs. The network engineer has ruled out security groups, stateful device configurations and network ACLs as the cause of the dropped traffic.
What is causing the traffic to drop?

  • A. The stateful appliances and the transit gateway attachments are deployed in a separate subnet in the shared services VPC.
  • B. Appliance mode is not enabled on the transit gateway attachment to the shared services VPC.
  • C. The stateful appliances and the transit gateway attachments are deployed in the same subnet in the shared services VPC.
  • D. Appliance mode is not enabled on the transit gateway attachment to the application VPCs.


Answer : D

A company has hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances that are running in two production VPCs across all Availability Zones in the us-east-1 Region. The production VPCs are named
VPC A and VPC B.
A new security regulation requires all traffic between production VPCs to be inspected before the traffic is routed to its final destination. The company deploys a new shared VPC that contains a stateful firewall appliance and a transit gateway with a VPC attachment across all VPCs to route traffic between VPC A and VPC B through the firewall appliance for inspection. During testing, the company notices that the transit gateway is dropping the traffic whenever the traffic is between two Availability Zones.
What should a network engineer do to fix this issue with the LEAST management overhead?

  • A. In the shared VPC, replace the VPC attachment with a VPN attachment. Create a VPN tunnel between the transit gateway and the firewall appliance. Configure BGP.
  • B. Enable transit gateway appliance mode on the VPC attachment in VPC A and VPC B.
  • C. Enable transit gateway appliance mode on the VPC attachment in the shared VPC.
  • D. In the shared VPC, configure one VPC peering connection to VPC A and another VPC peering connection to VPC B.
