Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 674 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional
Question #: 674
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions]

A company is launching a web-based application in multiple regions around the world. The application consists of both static content stored in a private Amazon
S3 bucket and dynamic content hosted in Amazon ECS containers content behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The company requires that the static and dynamic application content be accessible through Amazon CloudFront only.
Which combination of steps should a solutions architect recommend to restrict direct content access to CloudFront? (Choose three.)

  • A. Create a web ACL in AWS WAF with a rule to validate the presence of a custom header and associate the web ACL with the ALB.
  • B. Create a web ACL in AWS WAF with a rule to validate the presence of a custom header and associate the web ACL with the CloudFront distribution.
  • C. Configure CloudFront to add a custom header to origin requests.
  • D. Configure the ALB to add a custom header to HTTP requests.
  • E. Update the S3 bucket ACL to allow access from the CloudFront distribution only.
  • F. Create a CloudFront Origin Access Identity (OAI) and add it to the CloudFront distribution. Update the S3 bucket policy to allow access to the OAI only.

To ensure all requests are coming from CloudFront, the combination of steps should be C, A, F. C will add the custom header. A will detect the presence of custom header using Web ACL rules in the WAF around ALB and then F will ensure that all request to access S3 buckets are coming from Cloudfront using the OAI.

Agree. B and C are contradiction to each other. If CloudFront adds the custom header, how could WAF in front of CloudFront validate the presence of the custom header.

ACF A: By using custom headers, you can further restrict access to your content so that users can access it only through CloudFront, not directly. In this case an AWS WAF web ACL can be used to filter the requests and validate the presence of the custom header. F: The OAI is a special CloudFront user that is associated with the distribution. After creating an OAI, the S3 bucket permissions can then be modified so that CloudFront can use the OAI to access the files in your bucket and serve them to your users (and also restrict any other access)

Selected Answer: ACF
A,C,F are correct answers. The data flow is cloudfront --> ALB. You want to restrict users directly access to ALB. So ALB will check custom Header which only cloudfront can add. By this, data flow not from cloudfront is without custom header and at last denied by alb.

My answer is B C F. To deliver contents through only CloudFront, we need associate the Web ACL with CloudFront, not ALB. ALB is for ECS here and for OAI, doesn’t need ALB. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/web-acl-associating-aws-resource.html https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/cloudfront-serve-static-website/?nc1=h_ls

A/C/F: very similar configuration is used by us in an environment that serves over 1 mln requests per second. The only difference is in usage of AWF. This answer is a waste of money. ALB can check header in incoming traffic. You don't need WAF to do it. CF sets custom header with a value ALB check if custom header exists with this value S3 uses CF OAI
