A company has deployed an application in a VPC that uses a NAT gateway for outbound traffic to the internet. A network engineer notices a large quantity of suspicious network traffic that is traveling from the VPC over the internet to IP addresses that are included on a deny list. The network engineer must implement a solution to determine which AWS resources are generating the suspicious traffic. The solution must minimize cost and administrative overhead. Which solution will meet these requirements?
A network engineer is using AWS Direct Connect connections and MACsec to encrypt data from a corporate data center to the Direct Connect location. The network engineer learns that the MACsec secret key might have been compromised. The network engineer needs to update the connection with an uncompromised secure key. Which solution will meet this requirement?
A company has deployed a web application on AWS. The web application uses an Application Load Balancer (ALB) across multiple Availability Zones. The targets of the ALB are AWS Lambda functions. The web application also uses Amazon CloudWatch metrics for monitoring. Users report that parts of the web application are not loading properly. A network engineer needs to troubleshoot the problem. The network engineer enables access logging for the ALB. What should the network engineer do next to determine which errors the ALB is receiving?
A company has deployed a software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution to interconnect all of its offices. The company is migrating workloads to AWS and needs to extend its SD-WAN solution to support connectivity to these workloads. A network engineer plans to deploy AWS Transit Gateway Connect and two SD-WAN virtual appliances to provide this connectivity. According to company policies, only a single SD-WAN virtual appliance can handle traffic from AWS workloads at a given time. How should the network engineer configure routing to meet these requirements?
A marketing company is using hybrid infrastructure through AWS Direct Connect links and a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) overlay to connect its branch offices. The company connects multiple VPCs to a third-party SD-WAN appliance transit VPC within the same account by using AWS Site-to-Site VPNs. The company is planning to connect more VPCs to the SD-WAN appliance transit VPC. However, the company faces challenges of scalability, route table limitations, and higher costs with the existing architecture. A network engineer must design a solution to resolve these issues and remove dependencies. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
