AWS Certified Advanced Networking ANS-C01 Part 1 Quiz Format

A Network Engineer is provisioning a subnet for a load balancer that will sit in front of a fleet of application servers in a private subnet. There is limited IP space left in the VPC CIDR. The application has few users now but is expected to grow quickly to millions of users. What design will use the LEAST amount of IP space, while allowing for this growth?

An AWS CloudFormation template is being used to create a VPC peering connection between two existing operational VPCs, each belonging to a different AWS account. All necessary components in the ‘Remote’ (receiving) account are already in place. The template below creates the VPC peering connection in the Originating account. It contains these components:

AWSTemplateFormation Version: 2010-09-09
Parameters: Originating VCId: Type: String
RemoteVPCId: Type: String
RemoteVPCAccountId: Type: String
Resources: newVPCPeeringConnection:
Type: ‘AWS::EC2::VPCPeeringConnection’
Properties:
VpcdId: !Ref OriginatingVPCId
PeerVpcId: !Ref RemoteVPCId
PeerOwnerId: !Ref RemoteVPCAccountId

Which additional AWS CloudFormation components are necessary in the Originating account to create an operational cross-account VPC peering connection with AWS CloudFormation? (Select two.)

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 bank built a new version of its banking application in AWS using containers that content to an on-premises database over VPN connection. This application version requires users to also update their client application. The bank plans to deprecate the earlier client version. However, the company wants to keep supporting earlier clients through their on-premises version of the application to serve a small portion of the customers who haven’t yet upgraded. What design will allow the company to serve both newer and earlier clients in the MOST efficient way?

An organization is using a VPC endpoint for Amazon S3. When the security group rules for a set of instances were initially configured, access was restricted to allow traffic only to the IP addresses of the Amazon S3 API endpoints in the region from the published JSON file. The application was working properly, but now is logging a growing number of timeouts when connecting with Amazon S3. No internet gateway is configured for the VPC. Which solution will fix the connectivity failures with the LEAST amount of effort?

All IP addresses within a 10.0.0.0/16 VPC are fully utilized with application servers across two Availability Zones. The application servers need to send frequent UDP probes to a single central authentication server on the Internet to confirm that is running up-to-date packages. The network is designed for application servers to use a single NAT gateway for internal access. Testing reveals that a few of the servers are unable to communicate with the authentication server.

An organization is replacing a tape backup system with a storage gateway. there is currently no connectivity to AWS. Initial testing is needed. What connection option should the organization use to get up and running at minimal cost?

DNS name resolution must be provided for services in the following four zones:

company.private.
emea.company.private.
apac.company.private.
amer.company.private.

The contents of these zones is not considered sensitive, however, the zones only need to be used by services hosted in these VPCs, one per geographic region. Each VPC should resolve the names in all zones. How can you use Amazon route 53 to meet these requirements?

A Systems Administrator is designing a hybrid DNS solution with spilt-view. The apex-domain “example.com” should be served through name servers across multiple top-level domains (TLDs). The name server for subdomain “dev.example.com” should reside on-premises. The administrator has decided to use Amazon Route 53 to achieve this scenario. What procedurals steps must be taken to implement the solution?

An organization has three AWS accounts with each containing VPCs in Virginia, Canada and the Sydney regions. The organization wants to determine whether all available Elastic IP addresses (EIPs) in these accounts are attached to Amazon EC2 instances or in use elastic network interfaces (ENIs) in all of the specified regions for compliance and cost-optimization purposes. Which of the following meets the requirements with the LEAST management overhead?

An organization wants to process sensitive information using the Amazon EMR service. The information is stored in on-premises databases. The output of processing will be encrypted using AWS KMS before it is uploaded to a customer-owned Amazon S3 bucket. The current configuration includes a VPS with public and private subnets, with VPN connectivity to the on premises network. The security organization does not allow Amazon EC2 instances to run in the public subnet. What is the MOST simple and secure architecture that will achieve the organization’s goal?

Your company has a 1-Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection to AWS. Your company needs to send traffic from on-premises to a VPC owned by a partner company. The connectivity must have minimal latency at the lowest price. Which of the following connectivity options should you choose?

You deploy your Internet-facing application is the us-west-2(Oregon) region. To manage this application and upload content from your corporate network, you have a 1–Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection with a private virtual interface via one of the associated Direct Connect locations. In normal operation, you use approximately 300 Mbps of the available bandwidth, which is more than your Internet connection from the corporate network. You need to deploy another identical instance of the application is us-east-1(N Virginia) as soon as possible. You need to use the benefits of Direct Connect. Your design must be the most effective solution regarding cost, performance, and time to deploy. Which design should you choose?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) merchants that handle credit card data must use strong cryptography. These merchants must also use security protocols to protect sensitive data during transmission over public networks. You are migrating your PCI DSS application from on-premises SSL appliance and Apache to a VPC behind Amazon CloudFront. How should you configure CloudFront to meet this requirement?

You are building an application that provides real-time audio and video services to customers on the Internet. The application requires high throughput. To ensure proper audio and video transmission, minimal latency is required. Which of the following will improve transmission quality?

You have a global corporate network with 153 individual IP prefixes in your internal routing table. You establish a private virtual interface over AWS Direct Connect to a VPC that has an Internet gateway (IGW). All instances in the VPC must be able to route to the Internet via an IGW and route to the global corporate network via the VGW. How should you configure your on-premises BGP peer to meet these requirements?

Your organization requires strict adherence to a change control process for its Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and VPC environments. The organization uses AWS CloudFormation as the AWS service to control and implement changes. Which combination of three services provides an alert for changes made outside of AWS CloudFormation? (Select three.)

Your company operates a single AWS account. A common services VPC is deployed to provide shared services, such as network scanning and compliance tools. Each AWS workload uses its own VPC, and each VPC must peer with the common services VPC. You must choose the most efficient and cost effective approach. Which approach should be used to automate the required VPC peering?

You have multiple Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances running a web server in a VPC configured with security groups and NACL. You need to ensure layer 7 protocol level logging of all network traffic (ACCEPT/REJECT) on the instances. What should be enabled to complete this task?

You are preparing to launch Amazon WorkSpaces and need to configure the appropriate networking resources. What must be configured to meet this requirement?
