Free Amazon ANS-C01 Practice Test Questions

Question 1

A company wants to analyze TCP internet traffic. The traffic originates from Amazon EC2 instances in the companys VPC. The EC2 instances initiate connections through a NAT gateway. The company wants to capture data about the traffic including source and destination IP addresses ports, and the first 8 bytes of the TCP segments of the traffic. The company needs to collect, store, and analyze all the required data points. Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Configure the EC2 instances to be VPC traffic mirror sources. Deploy software on the traffic mirror target to forward the data to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Analyze the data by using CloudWatch Logs Insights

B : Configure the NAT gateway to be a VPC traffic mirror source. Deploy software on the traffic mirror target to forward the data to an Amazon S3 bucket. Analyze the data by using Amazon Athena.

C : Turn on VPC Flow Logs for the EC2 instances. Specify the default format and set Amazon CloudWatch Logs as the log destination. Analyze the flow log data by using CloudWatch Logs Insights.

D : Turn on VPC Flow Logs for the EC2 instances. Specify a custom format and set Amazon S3 as the log destination. Analyze the flow log data by using Amazon Athena.

Answer: A

Question 2

A company uses AWS Network Firewall to protect outgoing traffic for multiple VPCs that are in the same AWS account. Each VPC contains Amazon EC2 instances that host the company's applications. Each EC2 instance is tagged with the name of the application it hosts. The EC2 instances are in Auto Scaling groups. A Network Firewall stateful rule group must remain up-to-date, even when an Auto Scaling group launches and terminates EC2 instances. Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST implementation and administrative effort?

A : Create a network ACL for each application. Reference the network ACL in the stateful rule group.

B : Create a prefix list for each application. Reference the prefix list in the stateful rule group.

C : Create an AWS Lambda function that queries the EC2 instance tags for each application name and then updates the stateful rule group with the IP address of each instance.

D : Create a resource group for each application name. Reference the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the resource groups in the stateful rule group.

Answer: B

Question 3

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 4

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?

A : Configure the CloudFront Cache Behavior to require HTTPS and the CloudFront Origin's Protocol Policy to 'Match Viewer'.

B : Configure the CloudFront Cache Behavior to allow TCP connections and to forward all requests to the origin without TLS termination at the edge.

C : Configure the CloudFront Cache Behavior to require HTTPS and to forward requests to the origin via AWS Direct Connect.

D : Configure the CloudFront Cache Behavior to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS and to forward request to the origin via the Amazon private network.

Answer: A

Question 5

A company has an on-premises data center in the United States. The data center is connected to AWS by an AWS Direct Connect connection. The data center has a private VIF that is connected to a Direct Connect gateway. Recently, the company opened a new data center in Europe and established a new Direct Connect connection between the Europe data center and AWS. A new private VIF connects to the existing Direct Connect gateway. The company wants to use Direct Connect SiteLink to set up a private network between the data center in the United States and the data center in Europe. Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient manner?

A : Create a new public VIF from each data center. Enable SiteLink on the new public VIFs.

B : Create a new transit VIF from each data center. Enable SiteLink on the new transit VIFs.

C : Use the existing VIF from each data center. Enable SiteLink on the existing private VIFs.

D : Create a new AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection between the data centers. Configure the new connection to use SiteLink.
