(An administrator needs to deploy a NAT gateway in an existing VPC subnet. Which two tasks should this administrator perform during deployment? Choose 2 answers.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

To deploy a NAT gateway in an existing VPC subnet, the administrator must assign an elastic IP address to the NAT gateway for public internet access and configure the route table associated with the subnet to route traffic through the NAT gateway. The WGU Cloud Deployment and Operations Study Guide (Section 3.2, NAT Gateway) states, 'Deployment of a NAT gateway requires an elastic IP address for outbound internet connectivity and a route table update to direct private subnet traffic to the NAT gateway (e.g., 0.0.0.0/0 via NAT).' Private IP assignment and ACL configuration are not required steps.

Wait, why do you need an elastic IP for a NAT gateway?

I feel like both the route table and the elastic IP are crucial, but I might be mixing up the details from other practice questions.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe assigning a private IP address is not necessary for the NAT gateway.

I remember that we have to configure the route table, but I can't recall if we also need to set up an access control list.

I think we definitely need to assign an elastic IP address to the NAT gateway, but I'm not sure about the second task.

I feel like we might need to configure the access control list too, but it seems less critical than the route table.

I remember something about configuring the route table, but I can't recall if that's the only thing we need to do.
