Question #11
A company is using custom DNS servers that run BIND for name resolution in its VPCs. The VPCs are deployed across multiple AWS accounts that are part of the same organization in AWS Organizations. All the VPCs are connected to a transit gateway. The BIND servers are running in a central VPC and are configured to forward all queries for an on-premises DNS domain to DNS servers that are hosted in an on-premises data center. To ensure that all the VPCs use the custom DNS servers, a network engineer has configured a VPC DHCP options set in all the VPCs that specifies the custom DNS servers to be used as domain name servers.
Multiple development teams in the company want to use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). A development team has created a new EFS file system but cannot mount the file system to one of its Amazon EC2 instances. The network engineer discovers that the EC2 instance cannot resolve the IP address for the EFS mount point fs-33444567d.efs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. The network engineer needs to implement a solution so that development teams throughout the organization can mount EFS file systems.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Correct Answer:
AB

The solution lies in configuring the BIND DNS servers to forward the specific EFS domain queries to Amazon's provided DNS, ensuring correct resolution for the EC2 instance to mount the EFS file system. This setup maintains optimal traffic routing within the AWS infrastructure, minimizing latencies and maintaining operational efficiencies. Additionally, integrating Route 53 Resolver with AmazonProvidedDNS provides a reliable DNS solution across the organization’s VPCs, supporting various services, including Amazon EFS, without the need for complex DNS configurations. These DNS adjustments secure efficient and functional connectivity to crucial services like Amazon EFS.

Question #12
An ecommerce company is hosting a web application on Amazon EC2 instances to handle continuously changing customer demand. The EC2 instances are part of an Auto Scaling group. The company wants to implement a solution to distribute traffic from customers to the EC2 instances. The company must encrypt all traffic at all stages between the customers and the application servers. No decryption at intermediate points is allowed.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
Which solution will meet these requirements?
- ACreate an Application Load Balancer (ALB). Add an HTTPS listener to the ALB. Configure the Auto Scaling group to register instances with the ALB's target group.
- BCreate an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Configure the distribution with a custom SSL/TLS certificate. Set the Auto Scaling group as the distribution's origin.
- CCreate a Network Load Balancer (NLB). Add a TCP listener to the NLB. Configure the Auto Scaling group to register instances with the NLB's target group.Most Voted
- DCreate a Gateway Load Balancer (GLB). Configure the Auto Scaling group to register instances with the GLB's target group.
Correct Answer:
A
A

Given the requirement to encrypt all traffic at all stages with no decryption at intermediate points, an ALB may not be the optimal choice since it typically handles decryption/re-encryption of traffic. Instead, a Network Load Balancer (NLB), which operates at the transport layer and supports TCP connections, would fulfill the criteria as it can pass the encrypted traffic directly to the EC2 instances without decryption. This makes it more suitable for scenarios where traffic encryption from end-to-end is mandatory.

Question #13
A company has two on-premises data center locations. There is a company-managed router at each data center. Each data center has a dedicated AWS Direct Connect connection to a Direct Connect gateway through a private virtual interface. The router for the first location is advertising 110 routes to the Direct Connect gateway by using BGP, and the router for the second location is advertising 60 routes to the Direct Connect gateway by using BGP. The Direct Connect gateway is attached to a company VPC through a virtual private gateway.
A network engineer receives reports that resources in the VPC are not reachable from various locations in either data center. The network engineer checks the VPC route table and sees that the routes from the first data center location are not being populated into the route table. The network engineer must resolve this issue in the most operationally efficient manner.
What should the network engineer do to meet these requirements?

- BChange the router configurations to summarize the advertised routes.Most Voted
- COpen a support ticket to increase the quota on advertised routes to the VPC route table.
- DCreate an AWS Transit Gateway. Attach the transit gateway to the VPC, and connect the Direct Connect gateway to the transit gateway.
Correct Answer:
D
D

The best approach in this scenario is to reconfigure the on-premises routers to summarize the routes before advertising them through BGP to the Direct Connect gateway. This method will effectively reduce the number of routes, ensuring compatibility with AWS's default limits, without needing additional resources or complex configurations. This efficient solution will streamline network operations and maintain the stability and performance of the connections to the VPC.

Question #14
A company has expanded its network to the AWS Cloud by using a hybrid architecture with multiple AWS accounts. The company has set up a shared AWS account for the connection to its on-premises data centers and the company offices. The workloads consist of private web-based services for internal use. These services run in different AWS accounts. Office-based employees consume these services by using a DNS name in an on-premises DNS zone that is named example.internal.
The process to register a new service that runs on AWS requires a manual and complicated change request to the internal DNS. The process involves many teams.
The company wants to update the DNS registration process by giving the service creators access that will allow them to register their DNS records. A network engineer must design a solution that will achieve this goal. The solution must maximize cost-effectiveness and must require the least possible number of configuration changes.

To achieve streamlined DNS registration across multiple AWS accounts in a hybrid environment, opt for the following strategy. First, create an Amazon Route 53 Resolver inbound endpoint in the shared account VPC, and establish a conditional forwarder for the domain aws.example.internal on your on-premises DNS servers, linking them via the inbound endpoint's IP addresses. Next, set up a private hosted zone in the shared AWS account named aws.example.internal, simplifying management of DNS within AWS. Finally, generate individual subdomains such as account1.aws.example.internal for each AWS account and associate these with both their respective VPC and the shared account VPC, allowing decentralized, simplified DNS record management for service creators. This approach minimizes configuration changes while facilitating efficient DNS management across your hybrid architecture.

Question #15
A company has multiple AWS accounts. Each account contains one or more VPCs. A new security guideline requires the inspection of all traffic between VPCs.
The company has deployed a transit gateway that provides connectivity between all VPCs. The company also has deployed a shared services VPC with Amazon EC2 instances that include IDS services for stateful inspection. The EC2 instances are deployed across three Availability Zones. 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?

- BModify the transit gateway VPC attachment on the shared services VPC by enabling appliance mode support.Most Voted
- CModify the transit gateway by selecting VPN equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing support.
- DModify the transit gateway by selecting multicast support.
Correct Answer:
B
B

Enabling appliance mode on the transit gateway’s shared services VPC attachment is indeed the correct approach to resolve intermittent connectivity issues in this setup. This mode is essential for maintaining consistent inspection paths when employing stateful inspection services like IDS. It ensures that the same appliance processes both the ingress and egress traffic of a connection, aligning with how stateful operations need to function to avoid path discrepancies that can lead to the described intermittent connectivity.
