Amazon Exam ANS-C01 Topic 5 Question 10 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's ANS-C01 exam

Question #: 10
Topic #: 5

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 to open 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?

ACreate a VPN connection over the Direct Connect connection by using the on-premises firewall. Use the firewall to block all traffic from on premises to AWS. Allow a stateful connection from the EC2 instances to initiate the requests.

BConfigure the on-premises firewall to filter all requests from the on-premises network to the EC2 instances. Allow a stateful connection if the EC2 instances in the VPC initiate the traffic.

CDeploy a NAT gateway into a private subnet in the VPC where the EC2 instances are deployed. Specify the NAT gateway type as private. Configure the on-premises firewall to allow connections from the IP address that is assigned to the NAT gateway.

DDeploy a NAT instance into a private subnet in the VPC where the EC2 instances are deployed. Configure the on-premises firewall to allow connections from the IP address that is assigned to the NAT instance.

Suggested Answer: B

Creating a new Route 53 Resolver outbound endpoint in the shared services VPC would enable forwarding of DNS queries from the VPC to on-premises1.Creating forwarding rules for the on-premises hosted domains would enable specifying which domain names are forwarded to the on-premises DNS servers2.Associating the rules with the new Resolver endpoint and each application VPC would enable applying the rules to the VPCs2.This solution would not affect the default DNS resolution behavior of Route 53 Resolver for local VPC domain names and domains that are hosted in Route 53 private hosted zones3.
