Question 5 Amazon Web Services ANS-C01
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

A company is deploying a new application in the AWS Cloud. The company wants a highly available web server that will sit behind an Elastic Load Balancer. The load balancer will route requests to multiple target groups based on the URL in the request. All traffic must use HTTPS. TLS processing must be offloaded to the load balancer. The web server must know the user’s IP address so that the company can keep accurate logs for security purposes.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A.

    Deploy an Application Load Balancer with an HTTPS listener. Use path-based routing rules to forward the traffic to the correct target group. Include the X-Forwarded-For request header with traffic to the targets.

  • B.

    Deploy an Application Load Balancer with an HTTPS listener for each domain. Use host-based routing rules to forward the traffic to the correct target group for each domain. Include the X-Forwarded-For request header with traffic to the targets.

  • C.

    Deploy a Network Load Balancer with a TLS listener. Use path-based routing rules to forward the traffic to the correct target group. Configure client IP address preservation for traffic to the targets.

  • D.

    Deploy a Network Load Balancer with a TLS listener for each domain. Use host-based routing rules to forward the traffic to the correct target group for each domain. Configure client IP address preservation for traffic to the targets.

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: A

Explanation:

An Application Load Balancer (ALB) can be used to route traffic to multiple target groups based on the URL in the request. The ALB can be configured with an HTTPS listener to ensure all traffic uses HTTPS. TLS processing can be offloaded to the ALB, which reduces the load on the web server. Path-based routing rules can be used to route traffic to the correct target group based on the URL in the request. The X-Forwarded-For request header can be included with traffic to the targets, which will allow the web server to know the user's IP address and keep accurate logs for security purposes.

Question 6 Amazon Web Services ANS-C01
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

A company is migrating an existing application to a new AWS account. The company will deploy the application in a single AWS Region by using one VPC and multiple Availability Zones. The application will run on Amazon EC2 instances. Each Availability Zone will have several EC2 instances. The EC2 instances will be deployed in private subnets.

The company's clients will connect to the application by using a web browser with the HTTPS protocol. Inbound connections must be distributed across the Availability Zones and EC2 instances. All connections from the same client session must be connected to the same EC2 instance. The company must provide end-to-end encryption for all connections between the clients and the application by using the application SSL certificate.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A.

Register the EC2 instances as targets. Create a listener. Set the protocol to TLS and the port to 443 for the listener. Use AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) to create a certificate for the application.

  • D.

    Create an Application Load Balancer. Create a target group. Set the protocol to HTTPS and the port to 443 for the target group. Turn on session affinity (sticky sessions) with an application-based cookie policy. Register the EC2 instances as targets. Create an HTTP listener. Set the port to 443 for the listener. Set the default action to forward to the target group.

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: A

Question 7 Amazon Web Services ANS-C01
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

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.

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 AL

  • 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 ALB. Connect 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.

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: A

Question 8 Amazon Web Services ANS-C01
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

A company's application is deployed on Amazon EC2 instances in a single VPC in an AWS Region. The EC2 instances are running in two Availability Zones. The company decides to use a fleet of traffic inspection instances from AWS Marketplace to inspect traffic between the VPC and the internet. The company is performing tests before the company deploys the architecture into production.

The fleet is located in a shared inspection VPC behind a Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB). To minimize the cost of the solution, the company deployed only one inspection instance in each Availability Zone that the application uses.

During tests, a network engineer notices that traffic inspection works as expected when the network is stable. However, during maintenance of the inspection instances, the internet sessions time out for some application instances. The application instances are not able to establish new sessions.

Which combination of steps will remediate these issues? (Choose two.)

  • A.

    Deploy one inspection instance in the Availability Zones that do not have inspection instances deployed.

  • B.

    Deploy one additional inspection instance in each Availability Zone where the inspection instances are deployed.

  • C.

    Enable the cross-zone load balancing attribute for the GWLB.

  • D.

    Deploy inspection instances in an Auto Scaling group. Define a scaling policy that is based on CPU load.

  • E.

    Attach the GWLB to all Availability Zones in the Region.

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: B, C
