Amazon ANS-C01 Exam - Topic 5 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's ANS-C01 exam

Question #: 21
Topic #: 5

A company is deploying third-party firewall appliances for traffic inspection and NAT capabilities in its VPC. The VPC is configured with private subnets and public subnets. The company needs to deploy the firewall appliances behind a load balancer.

Which architecture will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

ADeploy a Gateway Load Balancer with the firewall appliances as targets. Configure the firewall appliances with a single network interface in a private subnet. Use a NAT gateway to send the traffic to the internet after inspection.

BDeploy a Gateway Load Balancer with the firewall appliances as targets. Configure the firewall appliances with two network interfaces: one network interface in a private subnet and another network interface in a public subnet. Use the NAT functionality on the firewall appliances to send the traffic to the internet after inspection.

CDeploy a Network Load Balancer with the firewall appliances as targets. Configure the firewall appliances with a single network interface in a private subnet. Use a NAT gateway to send the traffic to the internet after inspection.

DDeploy a Network Load Balancer with the firewall appliances as targets. Configure the firewall appliances with two network interfaces: one network interface in a private subnet and another network interface in a public subnet. Use the NAT functionality on the firewall appliances to send the traffic to the internet after inspection.

Two interfaces in B sound risky. Why complicate things?

I think option D could be a good choice because having two interfaces might help with traffic management, but I’m not confident if it’s the most cost-effective solution.

I’m leaning towards option C since it mentions a Network Load Balancer, but I’m a bit confused about whether that’s the best choice for firewall appliances.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to choose between using a NAT gateway or relying on the firewall's NAT. I feel like option B might be more flexible with the two interfaces.

I think option A makes sense because it uses a Gateway Load Balancer, which is designed for this kind of setup, right? But I'm not entirely sure about the single network interface part.

I'm not entirely sure about the performance implications of using a single network interface versus two network interfaces on the firewall appliances. I'll need to think through the network traffic flow for each option.

Option B looks like the most cost-effective solution to me. Using the firewall's NAT functionality instead of a separate NAT gateway should save on costs.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the differences between the Gateway Load Balancer and the Network Load Balancer. I'll need to review the documentation to understand the trade-offs.

This looks like a complex question involving currency swaps and credit risk. I'll need to carefully review the information provided and the term structure of interest rates to calculate the value of the swap from the counterparty's perspective.

That's true, Buck. Cost is always a big factor to consider in deployments like these.

I see your point, Nilsa. But option A might be sufficient if the company is looking to minimize costs while still meeting the basic requirements.

I disagree, I believe option B makes more sense because it provides better security with the additional network interface in the public subnet.

I'm not sure, you guys. I was kind of leaning towards option A, with the Gateway Load Balancer and the NAT gateway. I feel like that might be a bit more scalable and reliable in the long run, even if it's not the absolute cheapest option. But I'm open to being convinced otherwise. What do you all think?

I'm leaning towards option B as well. The only thing I'm wondering about is the performance impact of having the firewall appliances handle the NAT functionality. I wonder if that could potentially become a bottleneck, especially if we're dealing with high traffic volumes. But overall, I think it's the best option presented here.

I agree with Orville on option B. It seems like the most efficient and cost-effective way to meet the requirements. Plus, I like the idea of using the firewall appliances' own NAT functionality instead of relying on a separate NAT gateway. It streamlines the setup and reduces the number of moving parts.

Hmm, this question seems pretty straightforward. I think option B is the most cost-effective solution here. Using the Gateway Load Balancer and configuring the firewall appliances with two network interfaces, one in a private subnet and another in a public subnet, allows us to leverage the NAT functionality on the firewall appliances to send the traffic to the internet after inspection. This way, we don't need to set up a separate NAT gateway, which would add additional cost.
