Amazon Amazon Certifications ANS-C01 Questions & Answers

  • Question 31:

    A company is building an API-based application on AWS and is using a microservices architecture for the design. The company is using a multi-account AWS environment that includes a separate AWS account for each microservice development team. Each team hosts its microservice in its own VPC that contains Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB).

    A network engineer needs to use Amazon API Gateway in a shared services account to create an HTTP API to expose these microservices to external applications. The network engineer must ensure that access to the microservices can occur only over a private network. Additionally, the company must be able to control which entities from its internal network can connect to the microservices. In the future, the company will create more microservices that the company must be able to integrate with the application.

    What is the MOST secure solution that meets these requirements?

    A. Create an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in a VPC in the shared services account. Configure the integration to the API Gateway API by using a VPC link. Associate the VPC link with the ALB. Create a VPC endpoint service in each microservice account. Create an AWS PrivateLink endpoint for those services in the shared services account. Add the elastic network interface IP addresses of the VPC endpoint as targets for the target group of the ALB.

    B. Create an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in a VPC in the shared services account. Configure the integration to the API Gateway API by using a VPC link. Associate the VPC link with the ALConnect all the VPCs to each other by using a central transit gateway. Add the IP addresses of the NLB as IP-based targets in the ALB target group.

    C. Configure the integration to the API Gateway API by using HTTP-based integration. Connect all the VPCs to each other by using a central transit gateway. Create a separate HTTP integration to each NLB for each microservice. Add the HTTP endpoint of the NLB as the endpoint URL in the HTTP integration.

    D. Configure the integration to the API Gateway API by using VPC link integration. Connect all the VPCs to each other by using a central transit gateway. Create a separate VPC link to each NLB for each microservice. Add the HTTP endpoint of the NLB as the endpoint URL in the VPC link integration.

  • Question 32:

    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?

    A. The ALB configuration uses the round robin routing algorithm for traffic.

    B. The target group did not contain at least one healthy target configured in slow start mode.

    C. The target group must contain EC2 instances that are all the same instance type.

    D. The ALB configuration uses the 5-tuple criteria for traffic.

  • Question 33:

    A network engineer is using AWS Direct Connect connections and MACsec to encrypt data from a corporate data center to the Direct Connect location. The network engineer learns that the MACsec secret key might have been compromised. The network engineer needs to update the connection with an uncompromised secure key.

    Which solution will meet this requirement?

    A. Create a new MACsec secret key that uses an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) AWS managed key. Associate the new pre-shared key, Connection Key Name (CKN), and Connectivity Association Key (CAK) with the connection.

    B. Create a new MACsec secret key that uses an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key. Associate the new pre-shared key, Connection Key Name (CKN), and Connectivity Association Key (CAK) with the connection.

    C. Modify the existing MACsec secret key. Re-associate the existing pre-shared key, Connection Key Name (CKN), and Connectivity Association Key (CAK) with the connection.

    D. Modify the existing MACsec secret key. Associate the new pre-shared key, Connection Key Name (CKN), and Connectivity Association Key (CAK) with the connection.

  • Question 34:

    A network engineer configures a second AWS Direct Connect connection to an existing network. The network engineer runs a test in the AWS Direct Connect Resiliency Toolkit on the connections. The test produces a failure. During the failover event, the network engineer observes a 90-second interruption before traffic shifts to the failover connection.

    Which solution will reduce the time for failover?

    A. Decrease the BGP hello timer to 5 seconds.

    B. Add a VPN connection to the connectivity solution. Implement fast failover.

    C. Configure Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on the on-premises router.

    D. Decrease the BGP hold-down timer to 5 seconds.

  • Question 35:

    A company wants to use an AWS Network Firewall firewall to secure its workloads in the cloud through network traffic inspection. The company must record complete metadata information, such as source/destination IP addresses and protocol type. The company must also record all network traffic flows and any DROP or ALERT actions that the firewall takes for traffic that the firewall processes. The Network Firewall endpoints are placed in the correct subnets, and the VPC route tables direct traffic to the Network Firewall endpoints on the path to and from the internet.

    How should a network engineer configure the firewall to meet these requirements?

    A. Create a firewall policy to ensure that traffic is processed by stateless or stateful rules according to needs. Select Amazon CloudWatch Logs as the destination for the flow logs.

    B. Create a firewall policy to ensure that traffic is processed by stateless or stateful rules according to needs. Configure Network Firewall logging for alert logs and flow logs.

    Select a destination for logs separately for stateful and stateless engines.

    C. Create a firewall policy to ensure that a stateful engine processes all the traffic. Configure Network Firewall logging for alert logs and flow logs. Select a destination for alert logs and flow logs.

    D. Create a firewall policy to ensure that a stateful engine processes all the traffic. Configure VPC flow logs for the subnets that the firewall protects. Select a destination for the flow logs.

  • Question 36:

    An education agency is preparing for its annual competition between schools. In the competition, students at schools from around the country solve math problems, complete puzzles, and write essays.

    The IP addressing plan of all the schools is well-known and is administered centrally. The competition is hosted in the AWS Cloud and is not publicly available. All competition traffic must be encrypted in transit. Only authorized endpoints can access the competition. All the schools have firewall policies that block ICMP traffic.

    A network engineer builds a solution in which all the schools access the competition through AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections. The network engineer uses BGP as the routing protocol. The network engineer must implement a solution that notifies schools when they lose connectivity and need to take action on their premises to address the issue.

    Which combination of steps will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively? (Choose two.)

    A. Monitor the state of the VPN tunnels by using Amazon CloudWatch. Create a CloudWatch alarm that uses Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to notify people at the affected school if the tunnels are down.

    B. Create a scheduled AWS Lambda function that pings each school's on-premises customer gateway device. Configure the Lambda function to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification to people at the affected school if the ping fails.

    C. Create a scheduled AWS Lambda function that uses the VPC Reachability Analyzer API to verify the connectivity. Configure the Lambda function to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification to people at the affected school if failure occurs.

    D. Create an Amazon CloudWatch dashboard for each school to show all CloudWatch metrics for each school's Site-to-Site VPN connection. Share each dashboard with the appropriate school.

    E. Create a scheduled AWS Lambda function to monitor the existence of each school's routes in the VPC route table where VPN routes are propagated. Configure the Lambda function to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification to people at the affected school if failure occurs.

  • Question 37:

    A company securely connects resources that are in its VPC to a software as a service (SaaS) solution from a SaaS provider. The SaaS solution is hosted in the AWS Cloud and is powered by AWS PrivateLink. The company uses a PrivateLink endpoint to access the SaaS solution behind the SaaS provider's Network Load Balancer (NLB).

    The company recently added a new Availability Zone and new subnets to its VPC. A network engineer is unable to deploy a new interface VPC endpoint for the SaaS solution in the new Availability Zone.

    What is the cause of this problem?

    A. The CIDR block of the new subnets conflicts with the SaaS provider's CIDR block.

    B. The enableDnsHostnames attribute and enableDnsSupport attribute were not configured on the new subnets in the new Availability Zone.

    C. The SaaS provider does not offer the solution in the new Availability Zone and has not configured cross-zone load balancing for the NLB.

    D. The new subnets are missing a route to the VPC internet gateway.

  • Question 38:

    A company has two business units (BUs). The company operates in the us-east-1 Region and the us-west-1 Region. The company plans to extend to more Regions in the future. Each BU has a VPC in each Region. Each Region has a transit gateway with the BU VPCs attached. The transit gateways in both Regions are peered.

    The company will create several more BUs in the future and will need to isolate some of the BUs from the other BUs. The company wants to migrate to an architecture to incorporate more Regions and BUs.

    Which solution will meet these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?

    A. Create a new transit gateway for each new BU in each Region. Peer the new transit gateways with the existing transit gateways. Update the route tables to control traffic between BUs.

    B. Create an AWS Cloud WAN core network with an edge location in both Regions. Configure a segment for each BU with VPC attachments to the new BU VPCs. Use segment actions to control traffic between segments.

    C. Create an AWS Cloud WAN core network with an edge location in both Regions. Configure a segment for each BU with VPC attachments to the new BU VPCs. Configure the segments to isolate attachments to control traffic between segments.

    D. Attach new VPCs to the existing transit gateways. Update route tables to control traffic between BUs.

  • Question 39:

    A company has an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection between AWS and its branch office. A network engineer is troubleshooting connectivity issues that the connection is experiencing. The VPN connection terminates at a transit gateway and is statically routed. In the transit gateway route table, there are several static route entries that target specific subnets at the branch office.

    The network engineer determines that the root cause of the issues was the expansion of underlying subnet ranges in the branch office during routine maintenance.

    Which solution will solve this problem with the LEAST administrative overhead for future expansion efforts?

    A. Determine a supernet for the branch office. In the transit gateway route table, add an aggregate route that targets the VPN attachment. Replace the specific subnet routes in the transit gateway route table with the new supernet route.

    B. Create an AWS Direct Connect gateway and a transit VIF. Associate the Direct Connect gateway with the transit gateway. Create a propagation for the Direct Connect attachment to the transit gateway route table.

    C. Create a dynamically routed VPN connection on the transit gateway. Connect the dynamically routed VPN connection to the branch office. Create a propagation for the VPN attachment to the transit gateway route table. Remove the existing static VPN connection.

    D. Create a prefix list that contains the new subnets and the old subnets for the branch office. Remove the specific subnet routes in the transit gateway route table. Create a prefix list reference in the transit gateway route table.

  • Question 40:

    A company hosts infrastructure services in multiple VPCs across multiple accounts in the us-west-2 Region. The VPC CIDR blocks do not overlap. The company wants to connect the VPCs to its data centers by using AWS Site-to-Site VPN tunnels.

    The connections must be encrypted in transit. Additionally, the connection from each data center must route to the closest AWS edge location. The connections must be highly available and must accommodate automatic failover.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Deploy a transit gateway. Share the transit gateway with each of the other accounts by using AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM).
