Amazon SAP-C02 Exam - Topic 5 Question 41 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAP-C02 exam
Question #: 41
Topic #: 5
[All SAP-C02 Questions]

A software as a service (SaaS) company provides a media software solution to customers The solution is hosted on 50 VPCs across various AWS Regions and AWS accounts One of the VPCs is designated as a management VPC The compute resources in the VPCs work independently

The company has developed a new feature that requires all 50 VPCs to be able to communicate with each other. The new feature also requires one-way access from each customer's VPC to the company's management VPC The management VPC hosts a compute resource that validates licenses for the media software solution

The number of VPCs that the company will use to host the solution will continue to increase as the solution grows

Which combination of steps will provide the required VPC connectivity with the LEAST operational overhead'' (Select TWO.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

Create a Transit Gateway:

Step 1: In the AWS Management Console, navigate to the VPC Dashboard.

Step 2: Select 'Transit Gateways' and click on 'Create Transit Gateway'.

Step 3: Configure the transit gateway by providing a name and setting the options for Amazon side ASN and VPN ECMP support as needed.

Step 4: Attach each of the company's VPCs and relevant subnets to the transit gateway. This centralizes the network management and simplifies the routing configurations, supporting scalable and flexible network architecture.

Set Up AWS PrivateLink:

Step 1: Create a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in the management VPC that points to the compute resource responsible for license validation.

Step 2: Create an AWS PrivateLink endpoint service pointing to this NLB.

Step 3: Allow each customer's VPC to create an interface endpoint to this PrivateLink service. This setup enables secure and private communication between the customer VPCs and the management VPC, ensuring one-way access from each customer's VPC to the management VPC for license validation.

This combination leverages the benefits of AWS Transit Gateway for scalable and centralized routing, and AWS PrivateLink for secure and private service access, meeting the requirement with minimal operational overhead.

Is a VPN really necessary for this setup? Sounds complicated!

I think peering could work, but it’s not efficient with so many VPCs.

I vaguely recall that using a VPN appliance for each VPC could be quite cumbersome. I don't think option D is efficient for this scenario.

I practiced a similar question where we had to connect multiple VPCs, and I think using a transit gateway was the solution we went with. So, I’m leaning towards A.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like VPC peering could get complicated with so many VPCs. It might not be the best option, right?

I remember studying transit gateways and how they simplify VPC connectivity. I think option A might be the right choice for reducing overhead.

I'm leaning towards either A or C. The VPC peering (B and E) and VPN (D) options seem like they could get unwieldy to manage as the number of VPCs increases.

Option C with the PrivateLink endpoint service looks interesting, but I'm not sure if that would be the least operationally intensive approach compared to the transit gateway. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of each.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by all the VPC and networking concepts in this question. I'll need to review my notes on AWS networking to make sure I understand the implications of each choice.

I think the transit gateway option (A) might be the way to go here. It seems like it would provide the required connectivity between the VPCs with the least ongoing management overhead as the number of VPCs grows.

Wow, 50 VPCs? That's a lot of virtual real estate. I hope they don't forget to water the VPCs, or they might start wilting!

Nah, Site-to-Site VPN is way too much work for this use case. Who has time to set up a VPN appliance in 50+ customer VPCs? Not this guy!

I like the idea of using PrivateLink to create a managed endpoint service for the license validation. That way, the customers can access it securely without needing to manage a VPN connection.
