Question 1

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 2

A company has developed a web service for language translation. The web service's application runs on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances that are in an Auto Scaling group. The instances run behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and are deployed in a private subnet. The web service can process requests that contain hundreds of megabytes of data. The company needs to give some customers the ability to access the web service. Each customer has its own AWS account. The company must make the web service accessible to approved customers without making the web service accessible to all customers. Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead? (Choose two.)

A : Create VPC peering connections with the approved customers only.

B : Create an AWS PrivateLink endpoint service. Configure the endpoint service to require acceptance that will be granted to approved customers only.

C : Configure an authentication action for the endpoint service's load balancer to allow customers to log in by using their AWS credentials. Provide only approved customers with the URL.

D : Configure a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and a listener with the ALB as a target. Associate the NLB with the endpoint service.

E : Associate the ALB with the endpoint service.

Answer: B,D

Question 4

A Network Engineer needs to create a public virtual interface on the company's AWS Direct Connect connection and only import routes which originated from the same region as the Direct Connect location.

What action should accomplish this?

A : nfigure a prefix list on the customer router containing the AWS IP address ranges for the specific region.

B : nfigure a filter on the company's router to only import routes with the 7224:8100 BGP community attribute.

C : nfigure a filter on the company's router to only import routes without a BGP community attribute and a maximum path length of 3.

D : nfigure a filter in the console and only allow routes advertised by AWS without a BGP community attribute and a maximum path length of 3.

Answer: B

Question 5

A company is deploying a non-web application on an AWS load balancer. All targets are servers located on-premises that can be accessed by using AWS Direct Connect. The company wants to ensure that the source IP addresses of clients connecting to the application are passed all the way to the end server.

How can this requirement be achieved?

A : a Network Load Balancer to automatically preserve the source IP address.

B : a Network Load Balancer and enable the X-Forwarded-For attribute.

C : a Network Load Balancer and enable the ProxyProtocol v2 attribute.

D : an Application Load Balancer to automatically preserve the source IP address in the X-Forwarded-For header.

Answer: C
