Question 1

A company is deploying a web application into two AWS Regions. The company has one VPC in each Region. Each VPC has three Amazon EC2 instances as web servers behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The company already has configured an Amazon Route 53 public hosted zone for example.com. Users will access the application by using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of app.example.com. The company needs a DNS solution that allows global users to access the application. The solution must route the users' requests to the Region that provides the lowest response time. The solution must fail over to the Region that provides the next-lowest response time if the application is unavailable in the initially intended Region. Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : For each ALB, create an A record that has a geolocation routing policy to route app.example.com to the IP addresses of the ALB. Configure a Route 53 HTTP health check that monitors each ALB by IP address. Associate the health check with the A records.

B : Create an A record that has a geolocation routing policy to route app.example.com to the IP addresses for both ALBs. Configure a Route 53 health check that monitors TCP port 80 for each ALB by IP address. Associate the health check with the A records.

C : Create an A record that has a latency-based routing policy to route app.example.com as an alias to one of the ALBs. Configure a Route 53 health check that monitors TCP port 80 for each ALB by IP address. Associate the health check with the A records.

D : For each ALB, create an A record that has a latency-based routing policy to route app.example.com as an alias to the ALB. Set the value for Evaluate Target Health to Yes for the records.

Answer: D

Question 2

A company recently implemented a security policy that prohibits developers from launching VPC network infrastructure. The policy states that any time a NAT gateway is launched in a VPC, the company's network security team must immediately receive an alert to terminate the NAT gateway. The network security team needs to implement a solution that can be deployed across AWS accounts with the least possible administrative overhead. The solution also must provide the network security team with a simple way to view compliance history. Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Develop a script that programmatically checks for NAT gateways in an AWS account, sends an email alert, and terminates the NAT gateway if a NAT gateway is detected. Deploy the script on an Amazon EC2 instance in each account. Use a cron job to run the script every 5 minutes. Log the results of the checks to an Amazon RDS for MySQL database.

B : Create an AWS Lambda function that programmatically checks for NAT gateways in an AWS account, sends an email alert, and terminates the NAT gateway if a NAT gateway is detected. Deploy the Lambda function to each account by using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) templates. Store the results of the checks on an Amazon OpenSearch Service cluster in each account.

C : Enable Amazon GuardDuty. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule for the Behavior:EC2/NATGatewayCreation GuardDuty finding type. Configure the rule to invoke an AWS Step Functions state machine to send an email alert and terminate a NAT gateway if a NAT gateway is detected. Store the runtime log as a text file in an Amazon S3 bucket.

D : Create a custom AWS Config rule that checks for NAT gateways in an AWS account. Configure the AWS Config rule to perform an AWS Systems Manager Automation remediation action to send an email alert and terminate the NAT gateway if a NAT gateway is detected. Deploy the AWS Config rule and the Systems Manager runbooks to each account by using AWS CloudFormation StackSets

Answer: D

Question 3

Company A recently acquired Company B. Company A has a hybrid AWS and on-premises environment that uses a hosted AWS Direct Connect connection, a Direct Connect gateway, and a transit gateway. Company A has a transit VIF to access the resources in its production environment in the us-east-1 Region. Company B has applications that run across multiple VPCs in the us-west-2 Region in a single AWS account. A transit gateway connects all Company B's application VPCs. The CIDR blocks for both companies do not overlap. Company A needs to use the existing Direct Connect connection to access Company Bs applications from the on-premises environment. Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Create a new Direct Connect gateway in the Company B account. Associate the Company B transit gateway with the new Direct Connect gateway. Create a transit VIF on the existing hosted connection for Company B.

B : Create an association proposal from the Company B account to associate the Company B transit gateway with the Company A Direct Connect gateway. Accept the transit gateway association proposal by logging into the Company A account.

C : Create multiple virtual private gateways. Attach the virtual private gateways to each of Company B's application VPCs. Create a hosted private VIF for each virtual private gateway.

D : Create a new Direct Connect gateway in the Company B account. Associate the Company B transit gateway with the new Direct Connect gateway. Create a hosted private VIF for Company B.

Answer: B

Question 4

A network engineer needs to build an encrypted connection between an on-premises data center and a VPC. The network engineer attaches the VPC to a virtual private gateway and sets up an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection. The VPN tunnel is UP after configuration and is working. However, during rekey for phase 2 of the VPN negotiation, the customer gateway device is receiving different parameters than the parameters that the device is configured to support. The network engineer checks the IPsec configuration of the VPN tunnel. The network engineer notices that the customer gateway device is configured with the most secure encryption algorithms that the AWS Site-to-Site VPN configuration file provides. What should the network engineer do to troubleshoot and correct the issue?

A : Check the native virtual private gateway logs. Restrict the VPN tunnel options to the specific VPN parameters that the virtual private gateway requires.

B : Check the native customer gateway logs. Restrict the VPN tunnel options to the specific VPN parameters that the customer gateway requires.

C : Check Amazon CloudWatch logs of the virtual private gateway. Restrict the VPN tunnel options to the specific VPN parameters that the virtual private gateway requires.

D : Check Amazon CloudWatch logs of the customer gateway. Restrict the VPN tunnel options to the specific VPN parameters that the customer gateway requires.

Answer: B

Question 5

A company has set up hybrid connectivity between its VPCs and its on-premises data center. The company has the on-premises.example.com subdomain configured at its DNS server in the onpremises data center. The company is using the aws.example.com subdomain for workloads that run on AWS across different VPCs and accounts. Resources in both environments can access each other by using IP addresses. The company wants workloads in the VPCs to be able to access resources on premises by using the on-premises.example.com DNS names. Which solution will meet these requirements with MINIMUM management of resources?

A : Create an Amazon Route 53 Resolver outbound endpoint. Configure a Resolver rule that conditionally forwards DNS queries for on-premises.example.com to the on-premises DNS server. Associate the rule with the VPCs.

B : Create an Amazon Route 53 Resolver inbound endpoint and a Resolver outbound endpoint. Configure a Resolver rule that conditionally forwards DNS queries for on-premises.example.com to the on-premises DNS server. Associate the rule with the VPCs.

C : Launch an Amazon EC2 instance. Install and configure BIND software to conditionally forward DNS queries for on-premises.example.com to the on-premises DNS server. Configure the EC2 instance's IP address as a custom DNS server in each VPC.

D : Launch an Amazon EC2 instance in each VPC. Install and configure BIND software to conditionally forward DNS queries for on-premises.example.com to the on-premises DNS server. Configure the EC2 instance's IP address as a custom DNS server in each VPC.
