A company has an AWS Direct Connect connection between its on-premises data center in the United States (US) and workloads in the us-east-1 Region. The connection uses a transit VIF to connect the data center to a transit gateway in us-east-1.
The company is opening a new office in Europe with a new on-premises data center in England. A Direct Connect connection will connect the new data center with some workloads that are running in a single VPC in the eu-west-2 Region. The company needs to connect the US data center and us-east-1 with the Europe data center and eu-west-2. A network engineer must establish full connectivity between the data centers and Regions with the lowest possible latency.
How should the network engineer design the network architecture to meet these requirements?
A company wants to migrate its DNS registrar and DNS hosting to Amazon Route 53. The company website receives tens of thousands of visits each day, and the company’s current DNS provider cannot keep up. The company wants to migrate as quickly as possible but cannot tolerate any downtime.

A company runs a workload in a single VPC on AWS. The company’s architecture contains several interface VPC endpoints for AWS services, including Amazon CloudWatch Logs and AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). The endpoints are configured to use a shared security group. The security group is not used for any other workloads or resources.
After a security review of the environment, the company determined that the shared security group is more permissive than necessary. The company wants to make the rules associated with the security group more restrictive. The changes to the security group rules must not prevent the resources in the VPC from using AWS services through interface VPC endpoints. The changes must prevent unnecessary access.
The security group currently uses the following rules:
• Inbound - Rule 1
Protocol: TCP
Port: 443
Source: 0.0.0.0/0
• Inbound - Rule 2
Protocol: TCP
Port: 443
Source: VPC CIDR
• Outbound - Rule 1
Protocol: All
Port: All
Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
Which rule or rules should the company remove to meet with these requirements?
A network engineer is designing hybrid connectivity with AWS Direct Connect and AWS Transit Gateway. A transit gateway is attached to a Direct Connect gateway and 19 VPCs across different AWS accounts. Two new VPCs are being attached to the transit gateway. The IP address administrator has assigned 10.0.32.0/21 to the first VPC and 10.0.40.0/21 to the second VPC. The prefix list has one CIDR block remaining before the prefix list reaches the quota for the maximum number of entries.
What should the network engineer do to advertise the routes from AWS to on premises to meet these requirements?
An education agency is preparing for its annual competition between schools. In the competition, students at schools from around the country solve math problems, complete puzzles, and write essays.
The IP addressing plan of all the schools is well-known and is administered centrally. The competition is hosted in the AWS Cloud and is not publicly available. All competition traffic must be encrypted in transit. Only authorized endpoints can access the competition. All the schools have firewall policies that block ICMP traffic.
A network engineer builds a solution in which all the schools access the competition through AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections. The network engineer uses BGP as the routing protocol. The network engineer must implement a solution that notifies schools when they lose connectivity and need to take action on their premises to address the issue.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively? (Choose two.)
A company is building its website on AWS in a single VPC. The VPC has public subnets and private subnets in two Availability Zones. The website has static content such as images. The company is using Amazon S3 to store the content.
The company has deployed a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances as web servers in a private subnet. The EC2 instances are in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer. The EC2 instances will serve traffic, and they must pull content from an S3 bucket to render the webpages. The company is using AWS Direct Connect with a public VIF for on-premises connectivity to the S3 bucket.
A network engineer notices that traffic between the EC2 instances and Amazon S3 is routing through a NAT gateway. As traffic increases, the company's costs are increasing. The network engineer needs to change the connectivity to reduce the NAT gateway costs that result from the traffic between the EC2 instances and Amazon S3.

A company has a transit gateway in AWS Account A. The company uses AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) to share the transit gateway so that users in other accounts can connect to multiple VPCs in the same AWS Region. AWS Account B contains a VPC (10.0.0.0/16) with subnet 10.0.0.0/24 in the us-west-2a Availability Zone and subnet 10.0.1.0/24 in the us-west-2b Availability Zone. Resources in these subnets can communicate with other VPCs.
A network engineer creates two new subnets: 10.0.2.0/24 in the us-west-2b Availability Zone and 10.0.3.0/24 in the us-west-2c Availability Zone. All the subnets share one route table. The default route 0.0.0.0/0 is pointing to the transit gateway. Resources in subnet 10.0.2.0/24 can communicate with other VPCs, but resources in subnet 10.0.3.0/24 cannot communicate with other VPCs.
What should the network engineer do so that resources in subnet 10.0.3.0/24 can communicate with other VPCs?
A company is deploying AWS Cloud WAN with edge locations in the us-east-1 Region and the ap-southeast-2 Region. Individual AWS Cloud WAN segments are configured for the development environment, the production environment, and the shared services environment at each edge location. Many new VPCs will be deployed for the environments and will be configured as attachments to the AWS Cloud WAN core network.
The company's network team wants to ensure that VPC attachments are configured for the correct segment. The network team will tag the VPC attachments by using the Environment key with a value of the corresponding environment segment name. The segment for the production environment in us-east-1 must require acceptance for attachment requests. AH other attachment requests must not require acceptance.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company has been using an outdated application layer protocol for communication among applications. The company decides not to use this protocol anymore and must migrate allapplications to support a new protocol. The old protocol and the new protocol are TCP-based, but the protocols use different port numbers.
After several months of work, the company has migrated dozens of applications that run on Amazon EC2 instances and in containers. The company believes that all the applications have been migrated, but the company wants to verify this belief. A network engineer needs to verify that no application is still using the old protocol.
Which solution will meet these requirements without causing any downtime?
A company has workloads that run in a VPC. The workloads access Amazon S3 by using an S3 gateway endpoint. The company also has on-premises workloads that need to access Amazon
S3 privately over a VPN connection. The company has established the VPN connection to the VPC.
Which solution will provide connectivity to Amazon S3 from the VPC workloads and the on-premises workloads in the MOST operationally efficient way?
