Amazon SAP-C02 Exam - Topic 2 Question 62 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAP-C02 exam

Question #: 62
Topic #: 2

A company uses AWS CloudFormation to deploy applications within multiple VPCs that are all attached to a transit gateway Each VPC that sends traffic to the public internet must send the traffic through a shared services VPC Each subnet within a VPC uses the default VPC route table and the traffic is routed to the transit gateway The transit gateway uses its default route table for any VPC attachment

A security audit reveals that an Amazon EC2 instance that is deployed within a VPC can communicate with an EC2 instance that is deployed in any of the company's other VPCs A solutions architect needs to limit the traffic between the VPCs. Each VPC must be able to communicate only with a predefined, limited set of authorized VPCs.

What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements'?

AUpdate the network ACL of each subnet within a VPC to allow outbound traffic only to the authorized VPCs Remove all deny rules except the default deny rule.

BUpdate all the security groups that are used within a VPC to deny outbound traffic to security groups that are used within the unauthorized VPCs

CCreate a dedicated transit gateway route table for each VPC attachment. Route traffic only to the authorized VPCs.

DUpdate the mam route table of each VPC to route traffic only to the authorized VPCs through the transit gateway

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

You can segment your network by creating multiple route tables in an AWS Transit Gateway and associate Amazon VPCs and VPNs to them. This will allow you to create isolated networks inside an AWS Transit Gateway similar to virtual routing and forwarding (VRFs) in traditional networks. The AWS Transit Gateway will have a default route table. The use of multiple route tables is optional.

Surprised that this wasn't caught earlier in the audit!

I disagree, I think updating the security groups (Option B) is more effective.

Option C seems like the best choice for controlling traffic.

C is the clear winner. Who wants to deal with the headache of manually updating a bunch of network ACLs? Not me!

Haha, imagine trying to keep track of all those security group rules. Option C is definitely the sanity-saving choice here.

I agree, C is the way to go. Updating the route tables is a more comprehensive approach than trying to manage security groups or network ACLs.

I'm leaning towards the dedicated transit gateway route table, but I wonder if that complicates things too much.

I practiced a similar question where we had to limit traffic, and I think using network ACLs could be a viable option here.

I think updating the security groups could work, but it feels like it might be too restrictive.

I remember discussing how transit gateways work, but I'm not sure if creating a dedicated route table is the best approach.

This is a good question to test our understanding of VPC networking and transit gateways. I'll make sure to read through the details carefully and consider the pros and cons of each option.

I'm leaning towards option D. Updating the main route tables in each VPC to only allow traffic to authorized VPCs seems like a straightforward solution.

Option C seems like the best solution. Isolating the VPCs through dedicated transit gateway route tables is a clean way to control the traffic flow.

Option C seems like the most direct way to limit the VPC-to-VPC communication. I'll focus on understanding how to create and configure those dedicated transit gateway route tables.
