A company needs to analyze large volumes of streaming data with minimal delays. Which AWS service should they use?
AAmazon Kinesis
BAmazon SQS
CAWS Glue
DAmazon RDS

Q402
You are configuring a VPC peering connection between two VPCs. What happens if their CIDR blocks overlap?
APeering succeeds with limitations
BPeering fails entirely
CTraffic routes but is unreliable
DNo effect on communication
Explanation
VPC peering can only be established with non-overlapping CIDR blocks, making it fail if they overlap.
Q403
You are configuring a VPC peering connection between two VPCs. What must you ensure to facilitate this connection?
ADifferent IP address ranges
BSame Availability Zone
CSame AWS account
DRouting table updates
Explanation
Routing table updates are required to direct traffic through the peering. Options A, B, and C do not meet VPC peering requirements.
Q404
A company needs to enforce mandatory logging for their API Gateway but is unsure how to do it. Which step should they take?
AEnable CloudTrail logs
BSet up Lambda logging
CEnable Access Logs in API settings
DCreate S3 bucket for logs

Enabling Access Logs in the API settings directly enforces logging for API Gateway. Options A, B, and D do not directly meet the requirement for API Gateway logging.
Q405
What happens when you alter a Security Group rule associated with an EC2 instance while the instance is running?
AChanges apply immediately

Q407
A company needs to isolate network traffic between different AWS accounts. What should they use?
