The company hosts workloads in private subnets in several VPCs that are attached to the transit gateway.
The company recently acquired another corporation that hosts workloads on premises in an office building in Tokyo, Japan. The company needs to migrate the workloads from the Tokyo office to AWS. These workloads must have access to the company's existing workloads in Paris. The company also must establish connectivity between the Tokyo office building and the Paris data center.
In the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region, the company creates a new VPC with private subnets for migration of the workloads. The workload migration must be completed in 5 days. The workloads cannot be directly accessible from the internet.
Which set of steps should a network engineer take to meet these requirements?
A company uses AWS Direct Connect to connect its corporate network to multiple VPCs in the same AWS account and the same AWS Region. Each VPC uses its own private VIF and its own virtual LAN on the Direct Connect connection. The company has grown and will soon surpass the limit of VPCs and private VIFs for each connection.
What is the MOST scalable way to add VPCs with on-premises connectivity?
A company deploys a software solution on Amazon EC2 instances that are in a clusterplacement group. The solution's UI is a single HTML page. The HTML file size is 1,024 bytes. The software processes files that exceed 1,024 MB in size. The software shares files over the network to clients upon request. The files are shared with the Don't Fragment flag set. Elastic network interfaces of the EC2 instances are set up with jumbo frames.
The UI is always accessible from all allowed source IP addresses, regardless of whether the source IP addresses are within a VPC, on the internet, or on premises. However, clients sometimes do not receive files that they request because the files fail to travel successfully from the software to the clients.
Which options provide a possible root cause of these failures? (Choose two.)
A company has 10 Amazon EC2 instances that run web server software in a production VPC. The company also has 10 web servers that run in an on-premises data center.

What should a network engineer do to meet these requirements?
A company has a transit gateway in AWS Account A. The company uses AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) to share the transit gateway so that users in other accounts can connect to multiple VPCs in the same AWS Region. AWS Account B contains a VPC (10.0.0.0/16) with subnet 10.0.0.0/24 in the us-west-2a Availability Zone and subnet 10.0.1.0/24 in the us-west-2b Availability Zone. Resources in these subnets can communicate with other VPCs.
A network engineer creates two new subnets: 10.0.2.0/24 in the us-west-2b Availability Zone and 10.0.3.0/24 in the us-west-2c Availability Zone. All the subnets share one route table. The default route 0.0.0.0/0 is pointing to the transit gateway. Resources in subnet 10.0.2.0/24 can communicate with other VPCs, but resources in subnet 10.0.3.0/24 cannot communicate with other VPCs.
What should the network engineer do so that resources in subnet 10.0.3.0/24 can communicate with other VPCs?
A company is using AWS Cloud WAN with one edge location in the us-east-1 Region and one edge location in the us-west-1 Region. A shared services segment exists at both edge locations. Each shared services segment has a VPC attachment to each inspection VPC in each Region. The inspection VPCs inspect traffic from a WAN by using AWS Network Firewall.
The company creates a new segment for a new business unit (BU) in the us-east-1 edge location. The new BU has three VPCs that are attached to the new BU segment. To comply with regulations, the BU VPCs must not communicate with each other. All internet-bound traffic must be inspected in the inspection VPC.
The company updates VPC route tables so any traffic that is bound for internet goes to the AWS Cloud WAN core network.
The company plans to add more VPCs for the new BU in the future. All future VPCs must comply with regulations.

A company is migrating its containerized application to AWS. For the architecture the company will have an ingress VPC with a Network Load Balancer (NLB) to distribute the traffic to front-end pods in an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster. The front end of the application will determine which user is requesting access and will send traffic to 1 of 10 services VPCs. Each services VPC will include an NLB that distributes traffic to the services pods in an EKS cluster.
The company is concerned about overall cost. User traffic will be responsible for more than 10 TB of data transfer from the ingress VPC to services VPCs every month. A network engineer needs to recommend how to design the communication between the VPCs.
Which solution will meet these requirements at the LOWEST cost?
A company wants to improve visibility into its AWS environment. The AWS environment consists of multiple VPCs that are connected to a transit gateway. The transit gateway connects to an on-premises data center through an AWS Direct Connect gateway and a pair of redundant Direct Connect connections that use transit VIFs. The company must receive notification each time a new route is advertised to AWS from on premises over Direct Connect.
What should a network engineer do to meet these requirements?
A network engineer needs to deploy an AWS Network Firewall firewall into an existing AWS environment. The environment consists of the following:
A transit gateway with all VPCs attached to it
Several hundred application VPCs
A centralized egress internet VPC with a NAT gateway and an internet gateway
A centralized ingress internet VPC that hosts public Application Load Balancers
On-premises connectivity through an AWS Direct Connect gateway attachment
The application VPCs have workloads deployed across multiple Availability Zones in private subnets with the VPC route table s default route (0.0.0.0/0) pointing to the transit gateway. The Network Firewall firewall needs to inspect east-west (VPC-to-VPC) traffic and north-south (internet-bound and on-premises network) traffic by using Suricata compatible rules.
The network engineer must deploy the firewall by using a solution that requires the least possible architectural changes to the existing production environment.
