The company has set up VPC associations and routing on the transit gateway. The company has migrated a few test VPCs to the new solution for traffic inspection.
Soon after the configuration of routing, the company receives reports of intermittent connections for traffic that crosses Availability Zones.
What should a network engineer do to resolve this issue?
A finance company runs multiple applications on Amazon EC2 instances in two VPCs that are within a single AWS Region. The company uses one VPC for stock trading applications. The company uses the second VPC for financial applications. Both VPCs are connected to a transit gateway that is configured as a multicast router.
In the stock trading VPC, an EC2 instance that has an IP address of 10.128.10.2 sends trading data over a multicast network to the 239.10.10.10 IP address on UDP Port 5102. The company recently launched two new EC2 instances in the financial application VPC. The new EC2 instances need to receive the multicast stock trading data from the EC2 instance that is in the stock trading VPC.
Which combination of steps should the company take to meet this requirement? (Choose three.)
A company deploys a software solution on Amazon EC2 instances that are in a clusterplacement group. The solution's UI is a single HTML page. The HTML file size is 1,024 bytes. The software processes files that exceed 1,024 MB in size. The software shares files over the network to clients upon request. The files are shared with the Don't Fragment flag set. Elastic network interfaces of the EC2 instances are set up with jumbo frames.
The UI is always accessible from all allowed source IP addresses, regardless of whether the source IP addresses are within a VPC, on the internet, or on premises. However, clients sometimes do not receive files that they request because the files fail to travel successfully from the software to the clients.
Which options provide a possible root cause of these failures? (Choose two.)
A software company offers a software-as-a-service (SaaS) accounting application that is hosted in the AWS Cloud The application requires connectivity to the company's on-premises network. The company has two redundant 10 GB AWS Direct Connect connections between AWS and its on-premises network to accommodate the growing demand for the application.
The company already has encryption between its on-premises network and the colocation. The company needs to encrypt traffic between AWS and the edge routers in the colocation within the next few months. The company must maintain its current bandwidth.
What should a network engineer do to meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A company uses a 4 Gbps AWS Direct Connect dedicated connection with a link aggregation group (LAG) bundle to connect to five VPCs that are deployed in the us-east-1 Region. Each VPC servesa different business unit and uses its own private VIF for connectivity to the on-premises environment. Users are reporting slowness when they access resources that are hosted on AWS.
A network engineer finds that there are sudden increases in throughput and that the Direct Connect connection becomes saturated at the same time for about an hour each business day. The company wants to know which business unit is causing the sudden increase in throughput. The network engineer must find out this information and implement a solution to resolve the problem.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A network engineer needs to provide dual-stack connectivity between a company's office location and an AWS account. The company's on-premises router supports dual-stack connectivity, and the VPC has been configured with dual-stack support. The company has set up two AWS Direct Connect connections to the office location. This connectivity must be highly available and must be reliable for latency-sensitive traffic.
Which solutions will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
A company has critical VPC workloads that connect to an on-premises data center through two redundant active-passive AWS Direct Connect connections. However, a recent outage on one Direct Connect connection revealed that it takes more than a minute for traffic to fail over to the secondary Direct Connect connection. The company wants to reduce the failover time from minutes to seconds.
Which solution will provide the LARGEST reduction in the BGP failover time?
A company operates in the us-east-1 Region and the us-west-1 Region. The company is designing a solution to connect an on-premises data center to the company's AWS environment in us-east-1. The solution uses two AWS Direct Connect connections.
Traffic from us-west-1 to the data center needs to traverse the Direct Connect connections. A network engineer needs to set up active-passive functionality across the two Direct Connect connections by using a Direct Connect gateway to influence inbound traffic from VPCs that are in us-west-1 to the data center.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company has an AWS environment that includes multiple VPCs that are connected by a transit gateway. The company has decided to use AWS Site-to-Site VPN to establish connectivity between its on-premises network and its AWS environment.
The company does not have a static public IP address for its on-premises network. A network engineer must implement a solution to initiate the VPN connection on the AWSside of the connection for traffic from the AWS environment to the on-premises network.
Which combination of steps should the network engineer take to establish VPN connectivity between the transit gateway and the on-premises network? (Choose three.)
A network engineer needs to set up an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to run a Linux-based network appliance in a highly available architecture. The network engineer is configuring the new launch template for the Auto Scaling group.
In addition to the primary network interface the network appliance requires a second network interface that will be used exclusively by the application to exchange traffic with hosts over the internet. The company has set up a Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) pool that includes an Elastic IP address that should be used as the public IP address for the second network interface.
How can the network engineer implement the required architecture?
A company needs to manage Amazon EC2 instances through command line interfaces for Linux hosts and Windows hosts. The EC2 instances are deployed in an environment in which there is
no route to the internet. The company must implement role-based access control for management of the instances. The company has a standalone on-premises environment.
Which approach will meet these requirements with the LEAST maintenance overhead?
A company runs applications in two VPCs that are in separate AWS Regions. One VPC is in the us-east-1 Region. The second VPC is in the us-west-1 Region. The company needs to establish connectivity between the two VPCs. The company also needs to connect the VPCs to applications that run in an on-premises data center.
The current traffic requirement between the VPCs is 50 ТВ per month. The company expects traffic volume between the VPCs to increase. The traffic requirement from the VPCs to the on-premises data center is 10 ТВ per month. The company expects the traffic between the VPCs and the data center to remain constant.
Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?
A company has deployed an application in which the front end of the application communicates with the backend instances through a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in the same VPC. The application is highly available across two Availability Zones. The company wants to limit the amount of traffic that travels across the Availability Zones. Traffic from the front end of the application must stay in the same Availability Zone unless there is no healthy target in that Availability Zone behind the NLB. If there is no healthy target in the same Availability Zone, traffic must be sent to the other Availability Zone.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A network engineer needs to build an encrypted connection between an on-premises data center and a VPC. The network engineer attaches the VPC to a virtual private gateway and sets up an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection. The VPN tunnel is UP after configuration and is working. However, during rekey for phase 2 of the VPN negotiation, the customer gateway device is receiving different parameters than the parameters that the device is configured to support.
The network engineer checks the IPsec configuration of the VPN tunnel. The networkengineer notices that the customer gateway device is configured with the most secure encryption algorithms that the AWS Site-to-Site VPN configuration file provides.
What should the network engineer do to troubleshoot and correct the issue?
A company is using Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall in a VPC to block all domains except domains that are on an approved list. The company is concerned that if DNS Firewall is unresponsive, resources in the VPC might be affected if the network cannot resolve any DNS queries. To maintain application service level agreements, the company needs DNS queries to continue to resolve even if Route 53 Resolver does not receive a response from DNS Firewall.
Which change should a network engineer implement to meet these requirements?
A company is deploying an application. The application is implemented in a series of containers in an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster. The company will use the Fargate launch type for its tasks. The containers will run workloads that require connectivity initiated over an SSL connection. Traffic must be able to flow to the application from other AWS accounts over private connectivity. The application must scale in a manageable way as more consumers use the application.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company runs an application on Amazon EC2 instances. A network engineer implements a NAT gateway in the application's VPC to replace self-managed NAT instances. After the network engineer shifts traffic from the self-managed NAT instances to the NAT gateway, users begin to report issues.
During troubleshooting, the network engineer discovers that the connection to the application is closing after approximately 6 minutes of inactivity.
What should the network engineer do to resolve this issue?
A company is using a NAT gateway to allow internet connectivity for private subnets in a VPC in the us-west-2 Region. After a security audit, the company needs to remove the NAT gateway.
In the private subnets, the company has resources that use the unified Amazon CloudWatch agent. A network engineer must create a solution to ensure that the unified CloudWatch agent continues to work after the removal of the NAT gateway.
Which combination of steps should the network engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
A company has two teams: Team A and Team B. Team A has VPCs that run in Account A. The team uses a transit gateway (TGW-A) to route traffic between workloads that run in the different VPCs. Similarly, Team В has VPCs that run in Account B. Team В uses a different transit gateway (TGW-B) to route traffic between workloads that run in the different VPCs.
The company's network team manages the routing for Team A and Team В. The network team wants to retire TGW-B and use a single transit gateway to manage routing for the VPCs of both teams.
Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST operational overhead?
A company has an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection between its existing VPC and on-premises network. The default DHCP options set is associated with the VPC. The company has an application that is running on an Amazon Linux 2 Amazon EC2 instance in the VPC. The application must retrieve an Amazon RDS database secret that is stored in AWS Secrets Manager through a private VPC endpoint. An on-premises application provides internal RESTful API service that can be reached by URL (https://api.example.internal). Two on-premises Windows DNS servers provide internal DNS resolution.
The application on the EC2 instance needs to call the internal API service that is deployed in the on-premises environment. When the application on the EC2 instance attempts to call the internal API service by referring to the hostname that is assigned to the service, the call fails. When a network engineer tests the API service call from the same EC2 instance by using the API service's IP address, the call is successful.
What should the network engineer do to resolve this issue and prevent the same problem from affecting other resources in the VPC?
