Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 867 discussion

A software company is using three AWS accounts for each of its 10 development teams. The company has developed an AWS CloudFormation standard VPC template that includes three NAT gateways. The template is added to each account for each team. The company is concerned that network costs will increase each time a new development team is added. A solutions architect must maintain the reliability of the company's solutions and minimize operational complexity.
What should the solutions architect do to reduce the network costs while meeting these requirements?

  • A. Create a single VPC with three NAT gateways in a shared services account. Configure each account VPC with a default route through a transit gateway to the NAT gateway in the shared services account VPC. Remove all NAT gateways from the standard VPC template.
  • B. Create a single VPC with three NAT gateways in a shared services account. Configure each account VPC with a default route through a VPC peering connection to the NAT gateway in the shared services account VPC. Remove all NAT gateways from the standard VPC template.
  • C. Remove two NAT gateways from the standard VPC template. Rely on the NAT gateway SLA to cover reliability for the remaining NAT gateway.
  • D. Create a single VPC with three NAT gateways in a shared services account. Configure a Site-to-Site VPN connection from each account to the shared services account. Remove all NAT gateways from the standard VPC template.

if you read B , it say each VPC peered with the shared VPC which will work in this case

B won't work: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/vpc-peering-basics.html "If VPC A has an NAT device that provides internet access to subnets in VPC A, resources in VPC B can't use the NAT device in VPC A to access the internet."

B Between A nd B, i go for B as there are only 3 accounts/vpc to be peer. No need to have Transit Gateway which added additional cost.

Why guys you are pointing accent on costs? The question ask for reliability and operational complexity. Should be A in this case.

Also the NAT Gateway are in the shared services account, it should save costs.

Selected Answer: A
A will reduce operational complexity for sure. B is incorrect - you have limitation of peering connection of 125 MAX also you cant route traffic to NAT using peering https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/invalid-peering-configurations.html#edge-to-edge-vgw "If either VPC in a peering relationship has one of the following connections, you cannot extend the peering relationship to that connection: An internet connection through an internet gateway An internet connection in a private subnet through a NAT device "

B does not minimize operational complexity, which is one of the requirements of the question. TGW minimizes operational complexity.
