Posted by Sabina on Jun 16, 2026 at 02:48 AM

A cloud network engineer needs to enable network flow analysis in the VPC so headers and payload of captured data can be inspected. Which of the following should the engineer use for this task?

Suggested Answer: C

VPC Traffic Mirroring lets you capture copies of inbound and outbound network traffic, full packet headers and payload, and send them to appliances or analysis tools for deep inspection, which goes beyond the metadata provided by standard flow logs.

I’m a bit confused about syslog service and how it relates to capturing data payloads. Is it even used for that?

I feel like I’ve seen traffic mirroring in a similar context before, so I’m leaning towards that option.

I remember practicing a question about monitoring tools, and I think application monitoring was mentioned, but it doesn’t seem relevant for flow analysis.

I think traffic mirroring is the right choice here, but I’m not completely sure how it differs from network flows.
