What are three examples of outbound traffic flow? (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• Aissue yum update command on an instance inside Amazon Web Services
• BMicrosoft Windows inside Azure requesting a security patch
• Cweb server inside Amazon Web Services receiving web requests from internet
• Dissue apt-get install command on an instance inside Amazon Web Services
• Eoutgoing Prisma Public Cloud API calls

• A
  91% (58)
• B
  6% (4)
• C
  3% (2)

Explanation

A, D, and E are correct because each represents a cloud resource initiating a connection outward to an external destination: running yum update (A) or apt-get install (D) on an AWS instance sends requests from inside the cloud out to package repositories on the internet, and "outgoing Prisma Public Cloud API calls" (E) explicitly describes traffic leaving the environment.

C is wrong because a web server receiving requests from the internet is the definition of inbound traffic - the connection originates externally and flows into the cloud. B is a near-miss distractor - Windows requesting a security patch seems outbound, but it is designed to test your attention; the three correct answers (A, D, E) all represent either explicit admin-initiated commands or traffic labeled "outgoing," making them the cleaner, unambiguous outbound examples.

Memory tip: Ask yourself "who initiates the connection?" If the resource inside the cloud reaches out first, it's outbound. If something from the internet knocks on the door (like a web request hitting your server), it's inbound. The word "receiving" in option C and "outgoing" in option E are strong signal words on the exam.
