I thought TLS handshakes were included, but I guess not!

Only payload bytes if you enable it, right?

Wait, are you sure they don't log TCP checksums too?

From what I practiced, I believe the logs capture information like source and destination IPs, which sounds like packet metadata to me.

I’m a bit confused; do VPC Flow logs include TCP checksums? I feel like I read something about that but can't recall the details.

I remember practicing a question about VPC Flow logs, and I think they focus on the metadata of the packets rather than the actual payload.

I think VPC Flow logs capture packet metadata, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only thing they log.

TCP checksums? TLS handshakes? I don't think those are what VPC Flow Logs are designed to capture. I'm leaning towards Packet Metadata, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Ah, I remember learning about VPC Flow Logs in class. They capture information about the network traffic in and out of your VPC, including things like IP addresses, ports, and protocols. I'm confident the answer is Packet Metadata.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know VPC Flow Logs capture network traffic information, but I can't recall exactly what data points they include. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure these logs capture packet metadata, like source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols. That seems like the most relevant option here.

I believe it's TCP Checksums, as they are crucial for error detection in network communication.

I agree with Howard, Packet Metadata makes sense for network traffic monitoring.

Haha, Option D would be way too much information! I doubt AWS would log the actual payload bytes, that would be a huge privacy concern.

I'm going with Option B as well. Packet metadata like source/destination IP, port, and protocol are the kind of information we'd expect from VPC Flow Logs.

Option B seems the most accurate to me. VPC Flow Logs capture metadata about the packets, not the actual payload data.
