Question 1

A company hosts a web application that runs on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The instances are in an Auto Scaling group. The company uses an Amazon CloudFront distribution with the ALB as an origin. The application recently experienced an attack. In response, the company associated an AWS WAF web ACL with the CloudFront distribution. The company needs to use Amazon Athena to analyze application attacks that AWS WAF detects. Which solution will meet this requirement?

A : Configure the ALB and the EC2 instance subnets to produce VPC flow logs. Configure the VPC flow logs to deliver logs to an Amazon S3 bucket for log analysis.

B : Create a trail in AWS CloudTrail to capture data events. Configure the trail to deliver logs to an Amazon S3 bucket for log analysis.

C : Configure the AWS WAF web ACL to deliver logs to an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream. Configure the stream to deliver the data to an Amazon S3 bucket for log analysis.

D : Turn on access logging for the ALB. Configure the access logs to deliver the logs to an Amazon S3 bucket for log analysis.

Answer: D

Question 2

A company runs workloads in multiple VPCs. The company needs to securely access a workload in one of the VPCs, named VPC-A, from an on-premises data center. A network engineer sets up an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection to a transit gateway. The network engineer configures dynamic routing for the connection, and communication works properly. Recently, the owner of VPC-A added another CIDR range to the VPC. The VPC-A owner created workloads that use the additional CIDR range. The company's on-premises network is unable to reach the new workloads. The network engineer needs to resolve the network connectivity issue and ensure that connectivity will not be affected if additional VPC CIDR ranges are added to the VPC in the future. Which solution will meet these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?

A : Configure route propagation for VPC-A to the VPN attachment route table.

B : Manually update the VPN attachment route table to include the new CIDR range.

C : Configure an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke an AWS Lambda function when the rule to matches an update to the VPC-A CIDR range. Configure the Lambda function to update the VPN attachment route table.

D : Configure an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to invoke an AWS Lambda function when there is an update to the VPC-A CIDR range. Configure the Lambda function to update the VPN attachment route table. Restart the VPN tunnels.

Answer: A

Question 3

A consulting company manages AWS accounts for its customers. One of the company's customers needs to add intrusion prevention for its environment without having to re-architect the environment. The customer's environment includes five VPCs in two AWS Regions in the United States. VPC-to-VPC connectivity is achieved through VPC peering. The customer does not plan to increase the number of VPCs within the next 2 years. The solution must accommodate unencrypted traffic. Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Configure VPC security groups and network ACLs.

B : Use an AWS Network Firewall centralized deployment model in each VPC.

C : Use an AWS Network Firewall distributed deployment model in each VPC.

D : Deploy AWS Shield in each VPC.

Answer: C

Question 4

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 network engineer 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 : Check the native virtual private gateway logs. Restrict the VPN tunnel options to the specific VPN parameters that the virtual private gateway requires.

B : Check the native customer gateway logs. Restrict the VPN tunnel options to the specific VPN parameters that the customer gateway requires.

C : Check Amazon CloudWatch logs of the virtual private gateway. Restrict the VPN tunnel options to the specific VPN parameters that the virtual private gateway requires.

D : Check Amazon CloudWatch logs of the customer gateway. Restrict the VPN tunnel options to the specific VPN parameters that the customer gateway requires.

Answer: B

Question 5

A company recently implemented a security policy that prohibits developers from launching VPC network infrastructure. The policy states that any time a NAT gateway is launched in a VPC, the company's network security team must immediately receive an alert to terminate the NAT gateway. The network security team needs to implement a solution that can be deployed across AWS accounts with the least possible administrative overhead. The solution also must provide the network security team with a simple way to view compliance history. Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Develop a script that programmatically checks for NAT gateways in an AWS account, sends an email alert, and terminates the NAT gateway if a NAT gateway is detected. Deploy the script on an Amazon EC2 instance in each account. Use a cron job to run the script every 5 minutes. Log the results of the checks to an Amazon RDS for MySQL database.

B : Create an AWS Lambda function that programmatically checks for NAT gateways in an AWS account, sends an email alert, and terminates the NAT gateway if a NAT gateway is detected. Deploy the Lambda function to each account by using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) templates. Store the results of the checks on an Amazon OpenSearch Service cluster in each account.

C : Enable Amazon GuardDuty. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule for the Behavior:EC2/NATGatewayCreation GuardDuty finding type. Configure the rule to invoke an AWS Step Functions state machine to send an email alert and terminate a NAT gateway if a NAT gateway is detected. Store the runtime log as a text file in an Amazon S3 bucket.

D : Create a custom AWS Config rule that checks for NAT gateways in an AWS account. Configure the AWS Config rule to perform an AWS Systems Manager Automation remediation action to send an email alert and terminate the NAT gateway if a NAT gateway is detected. Deploy the AWS Config rule and the Systems Manager runbooks to each account by using AWS CloudFormation StackSets
