A company has a single Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) containing a public subnet and a private subnet. The company needs to design a security and routing strategy that satisfies the following requirements:
1. Traffic from a list of specific, known malicious public IP addresses must be blocked from entering the public subnet.
2. Web servers in the public subnet must be allowed to initiate connections to database instances in the private subnet on port 3306, while all other inbound traffic to the database instances is restricted.

Which of the following configurations should the network administrator implement to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Create a Network Access Control List (NACL) associated with the public subnet with inbound rules that explicitly deny traffic from the malicious IP addresses.; Create a Security Group for the database instances that allows inbound traffic on port 3306 from the Security Group of the web servers.

Cevap

Implementing a Network Access Control List (NACL) to explicitly deny the malicious IP addresses at the public subnet level, and configuring a Security Group for the database instances to allow inbound traffic on port 3306 from the web servers' Security Group.
To block specific malicious IP addresses before they reach any resources, a Network Access Control List (NACL) must be configured with explicit DENY rules at the subnet boundary. To secure database instances, a Security Group must be created that allows inbound traffic on port 3306 from the web servers' Security Group. Security Groups are stateful and apply to instances, while NACLs are stateless and apply to subnets.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the mechanism needed to block traffic from specific external IP addresses.
A Network Access Control List (NACL) is selected because it operates at the subnet boundary and supports explicit DENY rules.
Security Groups only support ALLOW rules and cannot be configured to block specific IP addresses while permitting others.
2
Identify the mechanism needed to restrict database access to only the web servers on port 3306.
A Security Group is configured for the database instances, referencing the web servers' Security Group as the source for inbound port 3306 traffic.
Security Groups provide instance-level, stateful firewall protection and allow referencing other security groups to dynamically control access.
3
Evaluate the routing path between subnets in the same VPC.
Inter-subnet communication is handled automatically by the local route table of the VPC.
VPC Peering is intended to connect distinct VPCs and is not used to route traffic between subnets within a single VPC.

A company is hosting a virtual classroom platform with video processing workloads on Amazon EC2 instances inside a private subnet. The security team wants to implement a multi-layered security approach: they need to block a specific range of malicious external IP addresses at the subnet boundary, and they must allow administrative SSH traffic to the instances from a designated bastion host while ensuring that the return traffic is automatically permitted. Which TWO of the following configurations should the team implement?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Add an inbound deny rule for the malicious IP range to the Network Access Control List (Network ACL) associated with the subnet; Add an inbound allow rule for SSH from the bastion host IP address to the Security Group associated with the EC2 instances

Cevap

Configure an inbound deny rule for the malicious IP range in the Network Access Control List (Network ACL) associated with the subnet, and configure an inbound allow rule for SSH from the bastion host in the Security Group associated with the EC2 instances.
The correct configurations involve using a Network ACL at the subnet boundary to explicitly deny the malicious IP range, and using a stateful Security Group at the instance level to allow inbound SSH from the bastion host. Since Network ACLs support deny rules and operate at the subnet level, they block the traffic before it reaches the instances. Since Security Groups are stateful, return traffic is automatically allowed, making outbound configurations for this stream unnecessary.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the requirement to block a specific malicious IP range at the subnet boundary.
Network ACLs operate at the subnet level and support explicit deny rules. Therefore, an inbound deny rule must be added to the Network ACL associated with the private subnet.
Security groups operate at the instance level and only support allow rules, so they cannot be used to explicitly deny traffic from a specific IP range.
2
Analyze the requirement to allow SSH traffic to the EC2 instances from a bastion host with automatic return traffic.
Security groups operate at the instance level and are stateful. Adding an inbound allow rule for SSH from the bastion host's IP address will automatically permit the outbound return traffic.
Since security groups are stateful, no matching outbound rule is required to allow return traffic, unlike Network ACLs which are stateless.

Anahtar Kavram

Security Groups are stateful firewalls operating at the instance level (allowing only allow rules), whereas Network ACLs are stateless firewalls operating at the subnet level (supporting both allow and deny rules). Under the Shared Responsibility Model, configuration of these firewalls is the customer's responsibility.

A financial services firm is deploying a containerized analytics application on AWS and has identified two storage requirements. First, the application needs a shared file system that supports the NFSv4 protocol and can be mounted concurrently by hundreds of container instances running across multiple Availability Zones. Second, the application requires a persistent block storage solution for a transactional database hosted on a single Amazon EC2 instance, which must retain data independently of the instance's life cycle. Which two AWS storage solutions should be selected to meet these requirements?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) to provide the shared, multi-Availability Zone file storage; Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) to provide the persistent block storage for the database

Cevap

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) for the shared file storage and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for the database persistent block storage.
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides a fully managed, shared file system that can be concurrently mounted by hundreds of instances across multiple Availability Zones, satisfying the container shared storage requirement. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides highly durable, persistent block storage volumes that survive instance stop/start cycles, making it the correct choice for the transactional database requirement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the first requirement: a shared, multi-AZ file system supporting NFSv4 for container instances.
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is identified as the correct fit because it provides fully managed, concurrent, multi-AZ file access via NFSv4.
Other options like S3 (object storage) or EBS (typically single-AZ block storage) do not natively meet the multi-AZ concurrent POSIX file storage requirement.
2
Analyze the second requirement: persistent block storage for a database on a single EC2 instance that retains data when stopped.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is identified as the correct fit because it is persistent block storage.
Amazon EC2 Instance Store is ruled out because it is ephemeral and does not retain data when stopped.
3
Evaluate administrative responsibility for self-managed options.
A self-managed NFS server on EC2 is rejected because it places the burden of OS patching on the customer under the Shared Responsibility Model.
AWS does not automatically patch guest operating systems on EC2 instances.

Cevap: Configuring SSL/TLS certificates on the database and enabling secure transport protocols for data in transit; Creating and managing key policies to control user permissions for customer managed keys in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS)

Cevap

The correct responsibilities of the customer are configuring SSL/TLS certificates on the database and enabling secure transport protocols for data in transit, and creating and managing key policies to control user permissions for customer managed keys in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).
Under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, the customer is responsible for data protection parameters they configure within the cloud. This includes configuring secure communication protocols (like SSL/TLS) for data in transit and managing access controls (such as key policies) for customer managed keys at rest.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the requirement for encryption in transit.
The scenario requires securing data in transit between application servers and the database. According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, configuring secure connection protocols (SSL/TLS) on the customer's resources is the customer's responsibility.
AWS provides the secure infrastructure, but the customer must configure the network settings, applications, and databases to use secure transport layers.
2
Analyze the requirement for encryption at rest and key policy control.
The customer needs control over key access policies. Using AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), the customer must create and configure key policies to determine who can use or manage the keys.
AWS manages the availability and physical security of AWS KMS, but logical control and authorization policies belong to the customer.

Cevap: Create an IAM role with a trust policy that allows the Amazon EC2 service to assume the role, and associate it with the EC2 instance profile.; Attach an IAM policy to the IAM role that explicitly grants 's3:GetObject' and 'dynamodb:PutItem' permissions on the specific resources.

Cevap

Creating an IAM role with a trust policy that allows the Amazon EC2 service to assume the role, associating it with the EC2 instance profile, and attaching an IAM policy that explicitly grants only the necessary S3 read and DynamoDB write permissions to that role.
To secure applications on EC2, the best practice is to assign an IAM role to the EC2 instance profile. The application can then fetch temporary credentials automatically via the AWS SDK. To follow the principle of least privilege, a policy should be attached to this role that limits access to only the specific S3 and DynamoDB actions required.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Create an IAM policy with limited permissions.
An IAM policy document is defined that permits only 's3:GetObject' and 'dynamodb:PutItem' on the specific resources.
This establishes the principle of least privilege by ensuring the application can only perform the actions it requires.
2
Create and configure an IAM role for the EC2 instance.
An IAM role is created with a trust relationship allowing the EC2 service to assume it. The policy from Step 1 is attached to this role, and the role is linked to an EC2 instance profile.
This allows the application running on the EC2 instance to automatically request and use temporary credentials, eliminating the need to store long-term access keys on the instance.

Cevap: Configuring the IAM execution role to restrict the function's access to other AWS resources.

Cevap

Configuring the IAM execution role to restrict the function's access to other AWS resources.
Configuring the IAM execution role is the customer's responsibility. Under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, the customer is responsible for security 'in' the cloud, which includes data classification, identity and access management (IAM), and the configuration of code and permissions. AWS Lambda is a serverless (PaaS) service, so AWS manages the underlying physical infrastructure, virtualization hypervisor, operating system, and runtime environments.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the service model and the service type referenced in the scenario.
The scenario involves AWS Lambda, which is a serverless / Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering.
The division of responsibilities depends on the type of service being used (IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS).
2
Distinguish between the customer's responsibility (security 'in' the cloud) and AWS's responsibility (security 'of' the cloud) for serverless services.
For serverless services, AWS manages the physical security, hardware, hypervisor, OS, and runtime. The customer is responsible for configurations, code, data, and access control (IAM).
This boundary defines which tasks must be performed by the customer and which are handled automatically by AWS.
3
Evaluate the options to find the task that falls under the customer's responsibility.
Configuring the IAM execution role is an access control configuration task and is the customer's responsibility.

A financial services firm is migrating a critical transaction-processing workload to AWS. The application must achieve zero data loss (Recovery Point Objective of 0) during a physical site failure, satisfy strict data residency laws requiring all data to remain within a specific country, and minimize latency for users in that country. To meet these requirements, how should the firm design its infrastructure using AWS Regions and Availability Zones?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones within a single AWS Region located in the target country, utilizing synchronous replication between the zones.

Cevap

Deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones within a single AWS Region located in the target country, utilizing synchronous replication between the zones.
Deploying the application across multiple Availability Zones within a single AWS Region located in the target country meets all requirements. Availability Zones within the same Region are connected by high-speed, private fiber-optic networks that support the low-latency required for synchronous replication (achieving RPO of 0). Because all selected Availability Zones reside within the single Region in the target country, the data residency requirement is fully satisfied.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the data residency requirement.
The workload and its data must remain within the specific country, meaning all infrastructure components used must reside in an AWS Region physically located inside that country.
Choosing a Region within the country guarantees compliance with local data residency laws.
2
Analyze the low-latency and zero data loss (RPO = 0) requirement.
Synchronous database replication must be used to ensure zero data loss during a site failure. This requires the low-latency connections only available between Availability Zones within the same AWS Region.
Replication across different AWS Regions is asynchronous because the physical distance introduces latency that makes synchronous replication impractical for real-time transactions.
3
Analyze the high-availability and physical site failure requirement.
Deploying the application across multiple Availability Zones within that single Region provides protection against fire, lightning strikes, power outages, and other localized physical disasters.
Each Availability Zone is physically separated, located in different flood plains, and supplied by independent power grids, preventing correlated failures.

A company is hosting a multi-tier web application in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). The security team has identified a range of malicious IP addresses, 198.51.100.0/22198.51.100.0/22, that must be blocked from accessing the application. Additionally, the web servers must only accept inbound traffic on TCP ports 8080 and 443443, and the return traffic to the clients must be allowed automatically without configuring any additional outbound rules. Which combination of AWS network security features will meet these requirements?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: A stateless Network Access Control List (Network ACL) at the subnet level to deny traffic from 198.51.100.0/22198.51.100.0/22, and a stateful Security Group at the instance level to allow inbound traffic on TCP ports 8080 and 443443.

Cevap

A stateless Network Access Control List (Network ACL) at the subnet level to deny traffic from the malicious IP range, and a stateful Security Group at the instance level to allow inbound traffic on TCP ports 8080 and 443443.
A stateless Network ACL operates at the subnet level and supports explicit deny rules, which allows it to block the malicious CIDR range (198.51.100.0/22198.51.100.0/22) before traffic reaches any EC2 instances. A stateful Security Group operates at the instance level and automatically tracks connection states, ensuring that inbound traffic allowed on TCP ports 8080 and 443443 can receive return traffic without requiring explicit outbound configuration.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the requirement to block the malicious CIDR block 198.51.100.0/22198.51.100.0/22.
Determine that Network ACLs support both allow and deny rules, whereas Security Groups only support allow rules.
An explicit deny rule is required to block specific IP addresses, which can only be configured in a Network ACL.
2
Evaluate the requirement to allow inbound traffic on TCP ports 8080 and 443443 and automatically permit return traffic.
Determine that Security Groups are stateful, meaning return traffic is automatically allowed, whereas Network ACLs are stateless and require explicit outbound rules for return traffic.
Using a stateful Security Group satisfies the requirement of allowing return traffic automatically without additional outbound configuration.
3
Determine the correct deployment boundary for each security feature.
Verify that Network ACLs are applied at the subnet level, while Security Groups are applied at the elastic network interface (instance) level.
This configuration correctly blocks malicious traffic at the subnet boundary before it reaches the instances, and applies granular access controls on the instances themselves.

A healthcare provider must retain historical patient medical images for 7 years to comply with regulatory standards. These files are rarely accessed (fewer than two times a year), but if a patient returns for an emergency follow-up, the images must be available for immediate viewing within milliseconds. The provider wants to minimize storage costs while meeting this response time SLA. Which Amazon S3 storage class is the most appropriate?

Cevap: Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval

Cevap

Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval
Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is the most cost-effective storage class for archiving data that is accessed very rarely (such as once or twice a year) but still requires immediate access in milliseconds. It provides the same low latency and high throughput as Amazon S3 Standard, but at a significantly lower storage cost, matching the requirements of the hospital's emergency access SLA.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the access frequency and retention requirements.
The patient records are rarely accessed (fewer than two times a year) and must be retained for 7 years, indicating an archive storage class is appropriate.
Determining the access frequency helps eliminate hot storage tiers and guides selection toward archival tiers to minimize costs.
2
Evaluate the retrieval speed (latency) requirement.
The records must be accessible within milliseconds for emergency scenarios.
This millisecond requirement eliminates archive classes that require minutes or hours to retrieve data, such as S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval and S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
3
Compare the remaining options for cost-effectiveness based on access frequency.
Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval offers a lower storage price than Amazon S3 Standard-IA while meeting the millisecond retrieval requirement, making it the most cost-effective option for quarterly/semi-annual access patterns.
Comparing costs ensures the final selection satisfies the primary objective of minimizing storage fees.

Cevap: Transitioning from upfront capital investments in physical servers to variable operational costs that align with actual simulation run times; Leveraging cloud elasticity to scale compute resources down to zero during weeks of inactivity, eliminating payment for idle capacity

Cevap

Transitioning from upfront capital investments in physical servers to variable operational costs that align with actual simulation run times, and leveraging cloud elasticity to scale compute resources down to zero during weeks of inactivity, eliminating payment for idle capacity.
The correct options are transitioning from upfront capital investments to variable operational costs, and leveraging cloud elasticity to scale compute resources down to zero during inactivity. The shift from CapEx to OpEx allows the company to pay only for active compute usage instead of investing in physical servers upfront. Elasticity ensures they can dynamically terminate resources when not in use, eliminating charges for idle time.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the workload pattern.
The simulation workloads run sporadically, requiring massive compute capacity for short bursts, followed by prolonged periods of inactivity.
Understanding the usage pattern is critical to determining which pricing and scaling models yield the best economic benefit.
2
Evaluate the shift in expense models.
Moving to the cloud shifts the workload from a capital expense model (buying servers upfront) to an operational expense model (paying as you go).
This allows the company to avoid capital overhead for hardware that remains idle during research gaps.
3
Apply scaling mechanisms to optimize costs.
Using elasticity to dynamically provision instances when simulations run, and terminate them when idle, ensures cost optimization.
Elasticity prevents the business from paying for unused compute capacity, aligning operational costs directly with research activity.

A company is hosting a legacy relational database on a single Amazon EC2 instance. The database requires persistent, low-latency, block-level storage that supports frequent random reads and writes, and can be backed up using point-in-time snapshots. Which AWS storage service best meets these requirements?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)

Cevap

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is the correct choice because it provides persistent block-level storage that is directly attached to a single EC2 instance, offering the low-latency performance required by transactional databases and support for point-in-time snapshots.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the storage requirements of the database workload.
The database needs block-level storage that is persistent, provides low latency, supports a single EC2 instance, and can be backed up using snapshots.
Identifying the workload characteristics helps narrow down the appropriate AWS storage type (object, file, block, or ephemeral).
2
Evaluate the storage type (object vs. file vs. block).
Object storage (S3) is unsuitable for relational database files due to its API-based access. File storage (EFS) is shared network file storage. Block storage (EBS and Instance Store) is appropriate for database drives.
Relational databases require block-level access for performance and transactional integrity.
3
Evaluate durability and persistence requirements.
EC2 Instance Store is ephemeral (data lost on instance stop/termination). Amazon EBS is persistent and supports snapshots.
Since the data must persist after instance stop/termination and support backups, EBS is the correct choice.

Anahtar Kavram

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides persistent, low-latency block-level storage volumes for Amazon EC2 instances, suitable for database applications.
