Exam AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty ANS-C01 topic 1 question 213 discussion

A company is replatforming a legacy data processing solution to AWS. The company deploys the solution on Amazon EC2 Instances in private subnets that are in one VPC.

The solution uses Amazon S3 for abject storage. Both the data that the solution processes and the data the solution produces are stored in Amazon S3. The solution uses Amazon DynamoDB to save its own state. The company collects flow logs for the VPC. The solution uses one NAT gateway to register its license through the internet. A software vendor provides a specific hostname so the solution can register its license.

The company notices that the AWS bill exceeds the projected budget for the solution. A network engineer uses AWS Cost Explorer to investigate the bill. The network engineer notices that the USE2-NatGateway-Bytes($) usage type is the root cause of the higher than expected bill.

What should the network engineer do to resolve the issue? (Choose two.)

  • A. Set up Amazon VPC Traffic Mirroring. Analyze the traffic to identify the traffic that the NAT gateway processes.
  • B. Examine the VPC flow logs to identity the traffic that traverses the NAT gateway.
  • C. Set up an AWS Cost and Usage Report in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console. Examine the report to find more details about the NAT gateway charges.
  • D. Verify that the security groups attached to the EC2 instances allow outgoing traffic only to the IP addresses that the hostname resolves to, the VPC CIDR block, and the AWS IP address ranges for Amazon S3 and DynamoDB.
  • E. Verify that the gateway VPC endpoints for Amazon S3 and DynamoDB are both set up and associated with the route tables of the private subnets.

BE - are correct A - Traffic mirroring not needed and added cost B - Allows to review traffic for the NAT GW C - Cost and Billing Reports will help but not specific traffic details D - Lots of Overhead - This could work but not necessary. E - Verify the S3 and DynamoDB endpoints are configured properly.

Selected Answer: BE
VPC flow logs will help you identify the specific traffic that is being routed through the NAT gateway. This is crucial for understanding which parts of your architecture are causing the excessive NAT gateway usage. By analyzing these logs, you can pinpoint whether traffic to services like Amazon S3, DynamoDB, or other external services is responsible for the high costs. VPC endpoints (specifically gateway endpoints for S3 and DynamoDB) allow traffic between your VPC and these AWS services to bypass the NAT gateway, thus reducing the data transfer costs associated with the NAT gateway. Ensuring that these endpoints are correctly configured and associated with the route tables of your private subnets will ensure that traffic to S3 and DynamoDB does not unnecessarily traverse the NAT gateway.
