Cevap: Configure the database's security group to allow inbound TCP traffic on port $5432$ from the security group assigned to the Lambda function.; Configure the security group of the Systems Manager Interface VPC Endpoint to allow inbound HTTPS (port $443$ ) traffic from the security group assigned to the Lambda function.

Cevap

Configure the database's security group to allow inbound TCP traffic on port

5432

from the security group assigned to the Lambda function, and configure the security group of the Systems Manager Interface VPC Endpoint to allow inbound HTTPS (port

443

) traffic from the security group assigned to the Lambda function.

The database security group must allow inbound PostgreSQL traffic (port

5432

) from the Lambda function's security group. Interface VPC endpoints use security groups to control incoming traffic; therefore, the Systems Manager endpoint's security group must permit inbound HTTPS (port

443

) traffic from the Lambda function's security group. Since security groups are stateful, configuring these inbound rules automatically allows the corresponding outbound/return traffic.

Cevap: Configure the Lambda function to run inside the custom VPC by specifying the target private subnets and a security group.; Configure the inbound rules of the ElastiCache cluster's security group to allow TCP traffic on port 6379 from the security group of the Lambda function.

Cevap

Configure the Lambda function to run inside the custom VPC by specifying the target private subnets and a security group, and configure the inbound rules of the ElastiCache cluster's security group to allow TCP traffic on port 6379 from the security group of the Lambda function.

To allow the Lambda function to reach the ElastiCache cluster, the Lambda function must first be attached to the same VPC. This is done by configuring VPC access on the Lambda function, which deploys ENIs in the specified private subnets. Second, since security groups are stateful and deny all inbound traffic by default, the ElastiCache security group must be updated to allow inbound TCP traffic on the Redis port from the security group associated with the Lambda function.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Enable VPC access for the Lambda function.

The Lambda function is assigned Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) in the specified private subnets, enabling it to reach resources inside the VPC.

By default, Lambda functions run in an AWS-managed network that cannot directly communicate with private subnets inside a custom VPC.

Configure the database security group.

The stateful firewall allows incoming network connections from the Lambda function's security group on the specific Redis database port.

Security groups deny all inbound traffic by default, so you must explicitly authorize access from the client's security group.

Anahtar Kavram

To enable secure communication between an AWS Lambda function and an internal VPC resource (like ElastiCache), the Lambda function must be associated with the private subnets of the VPC, and the destination security group must explicitly allow inbound traffic from the Lambda function's security group. Internal VPC communication uses local routes and does not require a NAT Gateway.

An AWS Lambda function is configured to run within private subnets of a custom VPC to securely query an Amazon Aurora database. The function also needs to retrieve database credentials stored as secure strings in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. During testing, the Lambda function times out when attempting to retrieve the parameters, though database connectivity works perfectly. A developer confirms that there is no NAT Gateway configured in the VPC.

Which configuration change will resolve the timeout issue while maintaining the current network architecture and database security?

Establish an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager (ssm) within the private subnets, associating a security group that allows inbound HTTPS traffic from the Lambda function's security group.

Attach an IAM policy to the Lambda execution role that grants ssm:GetParameters access, which enables the VPC-bound Lambda function to bypass the private subnet's routing table to reach the public Systems Manager service.

Update the trust relationship policy document of the Lambda execution role to allow the Systems Manager service principal (ssm.amazonaws.com) to assume the role and push parameter values.

Migrate the database credentials from Parameter Store to AWS Secrets Manager, as Systems Manager Parameter Store does not support private VPC endpoint connections or secure string encryption.

Cevap: Establish an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager (ssm) within the private subnets, associating a security group that allows inbound HTTPS traffic from the Lambda function's security group.

Cevap

Establish an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager (ssm) within the private subnets, associating a security group that allows inbound HTTPS traffic from the Lambda function's security group.

The correct answer is to establish an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager (ssm) within the private subnets, associating a security group that allows inbound HTTPS traffic from the Lambda function's security group. Since the Lambda function is running in a private subnet with no NAT Gateway, it has no route to the public internet to reach the default Systems Manager endpoint. Creating an interface VPC endpoint places Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) with private IP addresses directly in the private subnets. The Lambda function can then access Parameter Store privately over port 443, provided the endpoint's security group allows inbound traffic from the Lambda function's security group.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the network configuration of the Lambda function.

The Lambda function resides in a private subnet with no NAT Gateway, preventing access to public AWS service endpoints.

By default, resource-bound Lambda functions route traffic through the VPC's routing tables. Without a NAT Gateway or VPC endpoint, they cannot resolve or connect to public services.

Select the correct AWS PrivateLink service endpoint.

Identify that Systems Manager Parameter Store can be accessed privately via an interface VPC endpoint (ssm service).

Interface VPC endpoints provision Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) within the subnets, enabling private routing within the AWS network.

Configure the security groups for the VPC endpoint.

Associate a security group with the interface VPC endpoint that allows inbound HTTPS (port 443) traffic from the Lambda function's security group.

Since security groups are stateful and default to blocking all inbound traffic, the endpoint's security group must explicitly allow inbound requests from the client (Lambda).

Cevap: Associate the Lambda function with the private subnets of the VPC, and route outbound internet traffic through a NAT Gateway located in a public subnet.; Configure a security group for the Lambda function that permits outbound traffic to the database port and to the internet on HTTPS port 443.

Cevap

To establish network connectivity for the Lambda function, associate it with the private subnets of the VPC and route outbound internet traffic through a NAT Gateway in a public subnet. Additionally, configure the function's security group to allow outbound traffic to the database port and to the internet on HTTPS port 443.

The correct configurations are to associate the Lambda function with the private subnets of the VPC, routing outbound internet traffic through a NAT Gateway in a public subnet, and configure a security group for the Lambda function that permits outbound traffic to both the database port and HTTPS port 443. This setup ensures that the Lambda function can resolve and reach local resources like the database, while securely routing outbound internet traffic to the external endpoint via the NAT Gateway.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Determine subnet placement for the Lambda function.

The Lambda function is associated with private subnets of the custom VPC to allow secure communication with the database.

Private resources should not be exposed to the public internet, and Lambda needs VPC network interfaces (ENIs) in the same subnets to reach the database.

Enable internet connectivity for the private subnets.

Configure a NAT Gateway in a public subnet, and add a route in the private subnets' route table pointing 0.0.0.0/0 traffic to the NAT Gateway.

Lambda functions in private subnets cannot reach the public internet directly; they require a NAT Gateway to translate private IPs to a public IP for internet access.

Configure the Lambda function's Security Group rules.

Add outbound rules allowing traffic to the database's Security Group on its port, and outbound HTTPS traffic to the internet.

Security groups are stateful and must explicitly allow the outbound traffic initiated by the Lambda function.

Cevap: Create an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon SQS in the VPC, and update the security groups to allow traffic between the Lambda function and the endpoint.

Cevap

Create an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon SQS in the VPC, and update the security groups to allow traffic between the Lambda function and the endpoint.

Creating an interface VPC endpoint (powered by AWS PrivateLink) for Amazon SQS allows resources in private subnets to communicate privately with the service without traversing the public internet or needing a NAT Gateway. Since the Lambda function is in a private subnet, it can route SQS traffic through this private endpoint.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the destination endpoint requirements.

Amazon SQS is a public AWS service, which means a resource inside a private subnet without internet access cannot reach it directly.

The Lambda function needs a path to reach the public SQS API, which can be accomplished either via public internet routing (NAT Gateway) or a private path (VPC endpoint).

Select the most secure connectivity method that does not expose the traffic to the public internet.

An Interface VPC Endpoint for SQS (com.amazonaws.region.sqs) provides private, secure connectivity.

VPC endpoints use AWS PrivateLink to keep traffic within the AWS network, satisfying the security requirement.

Update security groups and routing to allow traffic.

Ensure the Lambda function's security group allows outbound traffic to the VPC endpoint, and the endpoint's security group allows inbound HTTPS traffic from the Lambda function.

Security groups are stateful and must explicitly allow the connection from the client to the endpoint.

Cevap

The correct actions are: configuring the Lambda function to connect to the private subnets of the VPC while creating an Interface VPC Endpoint for AWS Secrets Manager, and configuring the security group of the Amazon RDS instance to allow inbound traffic from the Lambda function's security group.

To connect the Lambda function to the database securely, the function must reside in the same VPC private subnets. An Interface VPC Endpoint (PrivateLink) for AWS Secrets Manager is required to allow the function to call Secrets Manager APIs over private IP addresses. Additionally, the RDS security group must explicitly allow inbound traffic from the security group associated with the Lambda function.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Determine the network placement for the Lambda function.

The Lambda function must be associated with the private subnets of the VPC to route traffic to the RDS instance in the same private subnets.

VPC-connected Lambda functions need to be in subnets that have a network path to the resources they need to access.

Set up secure connection to AWS Secrets Manager.

Create an Interface VPC Endpoint (AWS PrivateLink) for Secrets Manager in the VPC subnets with Private DNS enabled.

This allows the Lambda function to resolve the Secrets Manager DNS name to a private IP within the VPC, ensuring traffic does not traverse the public internet.

Configure Security Group rules for RDS.

Add an inbound rule to the RDS security group that permits traffic on the database port (e.g., port 5432 for PostgreSQL) from the security group attached to the Lambda function.

Security groups act as a firewall at the resource level, and this rule is required to permit the inbound connection from the Lambda function.

A developer is deploying an AWS Lambda function inside the private subnets of a custom VPC to process internal company data. The function needs to retrieve non-sensitive application settings, such as feature flags and external API endpoint URLs, without traversing the public internet. The architecture must minimize operational costs and must not use NAT Gateways or Internet Gateways. Which configuration should the developer implement to meet these requirements?

Store the configuration settings in AWS Secrets Manager, create an interface VPC endpoint for Secrets Manager in the VPC, and configure the security groups to allow HTTPS traffic between the Lambda function and the Secrets Manager VPC endpoint.

Store the configuration settings as standard parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, create an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager in the VPC, and configure the security groups to allow HTTPS traffic between the Lambda function and the Systems Manager VPC endpoint.

Store the configuration settings as standard parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, associate the Lambda function with the private subnets of the VPC, and rely on the default AWS Lambda execution role's permissions to bypass network routing and access Parameter Store directly without any VPC endpoints.

Store the configuration settings as standard parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, create an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager in the VPC, and modify the IAM role trust policy of the Lambda execution role to allow the Systems Manager service principal to assume the role.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Store the configuration settings as standard parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, create an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager in the VPC, and configure the security groups to allow HTTPS traffic between the Lambda function and the Systems Manager VPC endpoint.

Cevap

The correct option correctly identifies the need for Systems Manager Parameter Store to handle non-sensitive configuration settings cost-effectively (as standard parameters have no associated cost, unlike Secrets Manager). It also correctly configures an interface VPC endpoint to enable private communication between the Lambda function in the private subnet and the Systems Manager service, bypassing the need for a NAT Gateway or public internet routing.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze cost and data sensitivity requirements.

Identify that the settings are non-sensitive and the architecture must minimize operational costs, leading to the selection of AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store standard parameters, which are free of charge, over AWS Secrets Manager.

AWS Secrets Manager charges a flat rate per secret per month, which increases operational costs unnecessarily for non-sensitive configuration settings.

Analyze network path constraints.

Recognize that because the Lambda function is attached to a private subnet in a VPC with no NAT Gateway or Internet Gateway, it lacks a default route to public AWS endpoints over the internet.

AWS resources inside a custom VPC private subnet cannot resolve or connect to public service endpoints like Parameter Store without an explicit routing path.

Select the private connectivity mechanism.

Establish an interface VPC endpoint (AWS PrivateLink) specifically for Systems Manager (com.amazonaws.region.ssm) in the custom VPC.

An interface VPC endpoint places elastic network interfaces (ENIs) with private IP addresses in the subnets, enabling secure and private connections to AWS services.

Configure the security groups.

Allow outbound HTTPS (TCP port 443) from the Lambda function's security group to the interface VPC endpoint's security group, and inbound HTTPS on the endpoint's security group from the Lambda function.

Security groups are stateful and must explicitly allow the necessary traffic to complete the PrivateLink network connection.

Cevap

Configure a NAT Gateway in a public subnet, and add a route in the private subnet's route table that directs internet-bound traffic to the NAT Gateway.

The correct option correctly states that a NAT Gateway must be configured in a public subnet and the private subnet's route table updated to direct destination

0.0.0.0/0

traffic to the NAT Gateway. This allows Lambda functions inside the private subnet to establish outbound connections to the internet without exposing them to inbound internet traffic.

Cevap

Create a Gateway VPC Endpoint for DynamoDB and associate it with the route tables of the private subnets.

The correct answer is to create a Gateway VPC Endpoint for DynamoDB and associate it with the route tables of the private subnets. A Gateway VPC Endpoint allows private subnets within a VPC to establish a secure, private connection to DynamoDB. The traffic remains within the AWS network, which avoids NAT Gateway processing fees, hourly charges, and the need for public IP addresses or internet routing, making it the most cost-effective and secure solution.

The correct configurations are to deploy a NAT gateway in a public subnet and configure the application private subnet route table to point 0.0.0.0/0 traffic to it, and to update the database security group to permit inbound connections on port 5432 from the ECS task security group.

To allow private ECS Fargate tasks to reach the internet-facing payment API, a NAT Gateway is required in a public subnet with a corresponding route in the private subnet route table. To enable connectivity to the Aurora PostgreSQL database, the database's security group must permit inbound traffic on port 5432 from the security group assigned to the ECS tasks, ensuring only authorized tasks can connect.

Cevap

To establish the required connections, the RDS security group must be configured to allow inbound traffic on the database port from the Lambda function's security group, and a route to a NAT Gateway in a public subnet must be added to the private subnet's route table to allow outbound internet access for external API calls.

The correct configurations involve setting up an inbound security group rule on the RDS database that allows traffic from the Lambda function's security group, and routing internet-bound traffic from the private subnet to a NAT Gateway. This ensures the Lambda function can securely access the database inside the VPC and access external APIs over the internet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Configure database security group rules.

The RDS security group is updated to allow inbound traffic on the database port, referencing the security group of the Lambda function as the source.

This establishes secure, restricted communication between the Lambda function and the RDS database without opening the database to the entire subnet.

Configure private subnet routing for internet access.

A route for

0.0.0.0/0

is added to the private subnet's route table, pointing to a NAT Gateway in a public subnet.

Since the Lambda function is in a private subnet and does not have a public IP address, it cannot access the internet directly. Routing traffic through a NAT Gateway allows outbound-only internet access to call external APIs.

Cevap: Configure an Interface VPC Endpoint (AWS PrivateLink) for AWS Secrets Manager within the private subnets, and configure the security groups to allow HTTPS traffic from the Lambda function to the endpoint.

Cevap

The correct configuration is to create an Interface VPC Endpoint (AWS PrivateLink) for AWS Secrets Manager in the private subnets. This registers Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) with private IP addresses in the VPC subnets that route traffic directly to AWS Secrets Manager over the AWS internal network. By allowing outbound HTTPS (port

) from the Lambda function's security group to the VPC endpoint's security group, the Lambda function can resolve the endpoint privately and securely retrieve the database credentials.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the network path of the Lambda function running inside the private VPC subnets.

The Lambda function has access to VPC resources (like the RDS database) but lacks direct access to the public internet because there is no NAT Gateway or internet gateway routing in the private route table.

By default, AWS service endpoints like AWS Secrets Manager are public, requiring internet access or a private endpoint to connect from within a VPC.

Determine the most secure method to access AWS Secrets Manager without routing traffic over the public internet.

Identify that AWS PrivateLink allows creating Interface VPC Endpoints inside the VPC subnets.

VPC Endpoints provide private, secure access to AWS services by assigning private IP addresses from the VPC subnets directly to the endpoint.

Configure the security groups for both the Lambda function and the Interface VPC Endpoint.

The Lambda function's security group must allow outbound HTTPS (port

443

) to the VPC endpoint, and the VPC endpoint's security group must allow inbound HTTPS (port

443

) from the Lambda function.

Security groups are stateful and must explicitly allow the necessary traffic directions to establish the TCP connection.

Cevap

Create a Gateway VPC Endpoint for DynamoDB associated with the private subnet's route table, and configure the Fargate security group with outbound rules allowing HTTPS traffic to the payment processor IP address and to the AWS-managed prefix list representing DynamoDB.

To secure DynamoDB traffic, a Gateway VPC Endpoint is created and associated with the private subnet's route table, which routes traffic to the service privately. To satisfy outbound restrictions, the Fargate task's security group is configured with egress rules allowing HTTPS traffic to the specific external payment processor IP address and to the AWS-managed prefix list representing DynamoDB.

Cevap: Provision a NAT Gateway within a subnet that has a route to an Internet Gateway, and update the workload's subnet route table to direct destination 0.0.0.0/0 traffic to the NAT Gateway.

Cevap

Provision a NAT Gateway within a subnet that has a route to an Internet Gateway, and update the workload's subnet route table to direct destination 0.0.0.0/0 traffic to the NAT Gateway.

Providing a NAT Gateway in a public subnet and configuring the private subnet's route table to target it for all external traffic (0.0.0.0/0) allows resources within the private subnet to securely initiate outbound connections to the internet, resolving the timeout issue to the public banking API.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the destination type for the failing connections.

The failing traffic is destined for a public third-party banking API, which resides on the public internet.

Traffic to public internet endpoints from a private subnet requires a NAT mechanism since the private subnet lacks public IP addresses and direct internet routes.

Determine the appropriate NAT deployment architecture.

A NAT Gateway must be placed in a public subnet (a subnet with a route to an Internet Gateway).

NAT Gateways translate private source IPs to a public IP and route the traffic to the Internet Gateway.

Configure the private subnet routing.

Add a route to the private subnet's route table with destination 0.0.0.0/0 pointing to the NAT Gateway.

This directs all non-VPC bound traffic (internet traffic) through the NAT Gateway for translation and outbound delivery.

An engineering team is troubleshooting a newly deployed backend application hosted in a private subnet of a custom VPC. The application needs to retrieve objects from an Amazon S3 bucket and send messages to an Amazon SQS queue. The VPC has no Internet Gateway or NAT Gateway. The developer creates an Amazon S3 Gateway Endpoint and an Amazon SQS Interface Endpoint. However, the application is still experiencing connection timeouts when trying to access these services. Which of the following configuration changes must the developer make to resolve this issue? (Select TWO.)

Verify that the route table associated with the private subnet contains an entry that directs traffic for S3 to the Gateway Endpoint.

Ensure the security group associated with the SQS Interface Endpoint allows inbound HTTPS (TCP port

Cevap: Verify that the route table associated with the private subnet contains an entry that directs traffic for S3 to the Gateway Endpoint.; Ensure the security group associated with the SQS Interface Endpoint allows inbound HTTPS (TCP port $443$ ) traffic from the application's security group.

Cevap

Verify that the route table associated with the private subnet contains an entry directing S3 traffic to the Gateway Endpoint, and ensure that the security group of the SQS Interface Endpoint allows inbound HTTPS traffic from the application's security group.

For the Gateway Endpoint to route traffic to Amazon S3 from the private subnet, the subnet's route table must contain an entry directing S3 traffic to the S3 Gateway Endpoint. For the Interface Endpoint (PrivateLink) to route SQS traffic, the application connects to the endpoint's Elastic Network Interface (ENI) private IPs, which requires the security group attached to the SQS Interface Endpoint to allow inbound HTTPS (TCP port

443

) traffic from the application's security group.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Evaluate Gateway Endpoint configuration requirements.

Confirm that Gateway Endpoints (like Amazon S3) require route table entries in the private subnet's route table pointing to the gateway endpoint (`vpce-xxx`) to correctly route traffic.

Without route table updates, traffic destined for S3 will attempt to use the default route, which fails since there is no internet gateway or NAT gateway.

Evaluate Interface Endpoint configuration requirements.

Confirm that Interface Endpoints (like Amazon SQS) provision ENIs in the private subnet and rely on security groups to allow inbound HTTPS (TCP port

443

) traffic from the client.

Because Interface Endpoints use private IP addresses within the VPC, the security group of the endpoint must allow inbound traffic from the application's security group.

Rule out non-network configurations.

Identify that IAM execution roles, trust policies, and AWS Secrets Manager configurations do not resolve TCP connection timeouts.

Connection timeouts represent network layer blocks or routing failures, not IAM permission denials or credential management issues.

An organization is deploying a secure microservice where an AWS Lambda function is configured to run inside a private subnet of a custom VPC. The function must retrieve database credentials from AWS Secrets Manager and query an Amazon DynamoDB table. To meet strict security standards, no traffic is allowed to traverse the public internet. The developer has created a gateway VPC endpoint for DynamoDB and an interface VPC endpoint for Secrets Manager in the same private subnet. While DynamoDB queries succeed, the Lambda function times out when attempting to retrieve credentials from Secrets Manager. Which action must the developer take to allow the Lambda function to successfully retrieve the secrets?

Move the Lambda function to a public subnet within the VPC and assign a public IP address to its execution configuration to allow direct routing to the public Secrets Manager endpoint.

Update the trust policy of the Lambda execution role to trust the interface VPC endpoint service principal, allowing the network interface to assume the role's permissions.

Configure the security group attached to the Secrets Manager interface VPC endpoint to allow inbound TCP port 443 traffic from the security group attached to the Lambda function.

Cevap: Configure the security group attached to the Secrets Manager interface VPC endpoint to allow inbound TCP port 443 traffic from the security group attached to the Lambda function.

Cevap

Configure the security group attached to the Secrets Manager interface VPC endpoint to allow inbound TCP port 443 traffic from the security group attached to the Lambda function.

The correct option correctly configures the security group associated with the Secrets Manager interface VPC endpoint. Interface endpoints (PrivateLink) create network interfaces inside the VPC with private IP addresses. For the Lambda function to reach these network interfaces over HTTPS, the security group of the interface endpoint must allow inbound traffic on TCP port 443 from the security group of the Lambda function.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the network path and failure point.

The Lambda function times out when attempting to connect to Secrets Manager. Because there is no NAT Gateway or internet path, traffic must route through the interface VPC endpoint.

Since the DynamoDB query succeeds via the gateway endpoint, the Lambda function's internal VPC subnet configuration and basic execution routing are functional, indicating a specific block on the Secrets Manager interface endpoint path.

Identify the network requirements for interface VPC endpoints.

Interface endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) deploy ENIs inside the VPC. Clients connect to these ENIs using HTTPS on TCP port 443.

Unlike gateway endpoints, interface endpoints act as local network interfaces in the subnet and are subject to security group evaluation.

Configure the endpoint security group rules.

Add an inbound rule to the security group associated with the Secrets Manager interface VPC endpoint allowing TCP port 443 traffic from the Lambda function's security group.

This permits the Lambda function's network interface to successfully initiate and complete the TLS handshake with the Secrets Manager endpoint ENIs.

Cevap

Create an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager within the VPC.

Creating an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager within the VPC is the correct solution. Interface VPC endpoints use AWS PrivateLink, which places elastic network interfaces (ENIs) with private IP addresses in the subnets. Traffic to Systems Manager is routed privately within the AWS network, satisfying the requirement to avoid the public internet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the environment and target service requirements.

An application on an EC2 instance in a private subnet needs to access AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.

This establishes the source and destination for the network traffic.

Apply the security constraint regarding internet traversal.

The traffic must remain entirely within the AWS network and cannot route through the public internet.

This eliminates options that route traffic through internet gateways or NAT gateways to public service endpoints.

Cevap: Create an interface VPC endpoint (AWS PrivateLink) for Secrets Manager, configure its security group to allow inbound HTTPS traffic from the Fargate task, and configure the Aurora security group to allow inbound PostgreSQL traffic from the Fargate task's security group.

Cevap

The correct option establishes a private, secure path to Secrets Manager via AWS PrivateLink within the VPC, and allows the Fargate task to securely communicate with the Aurora database in another private subnet of the same VPC using security groups.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze destination endpoints.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL is hosted within the VPC, while AWS Secrets Manager is a public AWS service endpoint outside the VPC.

This determines which connections require VPC-native routing and which require external access or endpoints.

Configure the database connection.

The Aurora security group is modified to allow inbound traffic on port 5432 originating from the security group of the Fargate task.

Since both resources reside in different private subnets of the same VPC, local routing is automatic, and security groups are used to restrict access.

Configure access to AWS Secrets Manager without internet access.

An interface VPC endpoint (PrivateLink) for Secrets Manager is created in the VPC subnets, and its security group is set to allow inbound HTTPS traffic (port 443) from the Fargate task's security group.

Since there is no internet route or NAT Gateway, a VPC endpoint is required to establish private connectivity to Secrets Manager.
