Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 54 discussion

A company has deployed an API in a VPC behind an internet-facing Application Load Balancer (ALB). An application that consumes the API as a client is deployed in a second account in private subnets behind a NAT gateway. When requests to the client application increase, the NAT gateway costs are higher than expected. A solutions architect has configured the ALB to be internal.
Which combination of architectural changes will reduce the NAT gateway costs? (Choose two.)

  • A. Configure a VPC peering connection between the two VPCs. Access the API using the private address.
  • B. Configure an AWS Direct Connect connection between the two VPCs. Access the API using the private address.
  • C. Configure a ClassicLink connection for the API into the client VPC. Access the API using the ClassicLink address.
  • D. Configure a PrivateLink connection for the API into the client VPC. Access the API using the PrivateLink address.
  • E. Configure an AWS Resource Access Manager connection between the two accounts. Access the API using the private address.

A & D is correct. With RAM you cannot share the API Gateway, have look here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/shareable.html With privatelink you can add the LB, thats the reason why LB is in the description and the API GW after the LB, another account and can than be used from the application.

D is wrong. PrivateLink requires NLB, not ALB. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61980351/is-it-possible-to-connect-to-internet-facing-alb-via-endpointsprivatelink

ALB + PrivateLink https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/networking-and-content-delivery/how-to-securely-publish-internet-applications-at-scale-using-application-load-balancer-and-aws-privatelink/ In this post we explore how you can combine PrivateLink with Application Load Balancer to publish web applications to the Internet without the need for proxies hosted on EC2 or VPC peering.

In your answer, Configure a PrivateLink connection for the API into the client VPC. Access the API using the PrivateLink address. -> Should you access the API using the PrivateLink address? using ALB address? or using the NLB address?

Most discussion points to A, D, or E. The good thing is maybe we can eliminate D as PrivateLink requires NLB, not ALB. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61980351/is-it-possible-to-connect-to-internet-facing-alb-via-endpointsprivatelink So, agree with A and E.

A & D, Route to IP Addresses In order to address these use cases, Application Load Balancers can now route traffic directly to IP addresses. These addresses can be in the same VPC as the ALB, a peer VPC in the same region, on an EC2 instance connected to a VPC by way of ClassicLink, or on on-premises resources at the other end of a VPN connection or AWS Direct Connect connection.

The hardest limitation is that the peered networks must not have any IP address space overlap. In the case, we don't know if we can use VPC peering or not. But PrivateLink should work.

Selected Answer: AD
When you establish peering relationships between VPCs across different AWS Regions, resources in the VPCs (for example, EC2 instances and Lambda functions) in different AWS Regions can communicate with each other using private IP addresses, without using a gateway, VPN connection, or network appliance. The traffic remains in the private IP space. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/what-is-vpc-peering.html

A & E For A: A VPC peering connection is a networking connection between two VPCs that enables you to route traffic between them using private IPv4 addresses or IPv6 addresses. There is no charge to create a VPC peering connection. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/what-is-vpc-peering.html For E: AWS Resource Access Manager allows you to easily and securely share AWS resources with any AWS account or if you are part of AWS organizations, with organizational units (OUs), or your entire organization. There is no additional charge for using AWS RAM. Services with resources you can share using AWS RAM: Amazon VPC, S3, 53, Aurora, etc. For these case, share with the VPCs https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/what-is-vpc-peering.html

AE AWS Private link is used to expose a application service to 1000's of VPC. You need NLB on the applicaton service and a ENI on the customer VPC side. ( based on Stephane Maarek Lectures)
