The AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C01) exam validates your skills in designing and implementing AWS networking solutions. It is suitable for networking professionals looking to specialize in AWS.
What happens when an AWS Transit Gateway is configured incorrectly?
ATraffic is routed successfully
BNo VPCs can communicate
CRedundant paths created
DCloudWatch logs enabled automatically
Explanation
An incorrectly configured Transit Gateway can prevent VPCs from communicating, unlike the other options which misrepresent Transit Gateway functionality.
Q372
You are configuring AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles. What is the effect of using a role with trust policy requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
AAccess without MFA is allowed
BMFA prompts are mandatory
CSession is longer without MFA
DIAM user permissions are overridden
Explanation
Using a role with an MFA trust policy mandates MFA for access, while the other options misinterpret IAM role behavior.
Q373
Which AWS service is primarily designed for automating network traffic distribution?
AElastic Load Balancing
BAmazon CloudFront
CAWS Direct Connect
DAmazon VPC Peering
Explanation
Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets; the others serve different purposes.
Q374
A company needs private connectivity from its on-premises data center to AWS. Which service should they use?
AAmazon VPN
BAWS Direct Connect
CAmazon Route 53
DAmazon VPC
Explanation
AWS Direct Connect provides dedicated, private network connections; VPNs use the public internet.
Q375
What would happen if two Amazon VPCs with overlapping CIDR blocks are peered?
APeering will succeed
BPeering will fail
CTraffic is routed correctly
DSecurity will be compromised
Explanation
VPC peering does not work with overlapping CIDR blocks; the peering will fail due to routing conflicts.
Q376
Which service is best for monitoring network traffic in AWS?
AAmazon CloudWatch
BAWS X-Ray
CAWS CloudTrail
DAmazon VPC Flow Logs
Explanation
Amazon VPC Flow Logs captures IP traffic data, while others focus on different aspects of monitoring.
Q377
A company needs high availability for its web application across multiple regions. What should they implement?
ASingle Region Elastic Load Balancer
BRoute 53 with Latency Routing
CAmazon RDS Multi-AZ Deployment
DCloudFront as CDN only
Explanation
Route 53 with Latency Routing directs users to the closest region, enhancing availability over single-region solutions.
Q378
You are configuring VPN connections. What happens when the VPN tunnel is down?
ATraffic automatically reroutes to another tunnel
BAll traffic is completely lost
CTraffic maintains service through AWS Direct Connect
DNo traffic flows until tunnel is restored
Explanation
When a VPN tunnel is down, traffic does not flow until the tunnel is back up; other options are incorrect.
Q379
Which service can be used to set up a private connection between VPCs?
AAWS Direct Connect
BAWS VPN
CAmazon CloudFront
DAWS Transit Gateway
Explanation
AWS Transit Gateway connects multiple VPCs, simplifying management, while others focus on point-to-point connections.
Q380
A company needs to provide internet access to private-hosted VPCs without public IP addresses. What should they deploy?
ANAT Gateway
BInternet Gateway
CVPC Peering
DVPN Gateway
Explanation
NAT Gateways allow private instances to access the internet without public IPs, unlike other options.
