Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 15 discussion

A company recently migrated to AWS and wants to implement a solution to protect the traffic that flows in and out of the production VPC. The company had an inspection server in its on-premises data center. The inspection server performed specific operations such as traffic flow inspection and traffic filtering. The company wants to have the same functionalities in the AWS Cloud.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • A. Use Amazon GuardDuty for traffic inspection and traffic filtering in the production VPC.
  • B. Use Traffic Mirroring to mirror traffic from the production VPC for traffic inspection and filtering.
  • C. Use AWS Network Firewall to create the required rules for traffic inspection and traffic filtering for the production VPC.
  • D. Use AWS Firewall Manager to create the required rules for traffic inspection and traffic filtering for the production VPC.

I would recommend option C: Use AWS Network Firewall to create the required rules for traffic inspection and traffic filtering for the production VPC. AWS Network Firewall is a managed firewall service that provides filtering for both inbound and outbound network traffic. It allows you to create rules for traffic inspection and filtering, which can help protect your production VPC. Option A: Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service, not a traffic inspection or filtering service. Option B: Traffic Mirroring is a feature that allows you to replicate and send a copy of network traffic from a VPC to another VPC or on-premises location. It is not a service that performs traffic inspection or filtering. Option D: AWS Firewall Manager is a security management service that helps you to centrally configure and manage firewalls across your accounts. It is not a service that performs traffic inspection or filtering.

I agree with C. **AWS Network Firewall** is a stateful, managed network firewall and intrusion detection and prevention service for your virtual private cloud (VPC) that you created in Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). With Network Firewall, you can filter traffic at the perimeter of your VPC. This includes filtering traffic going to and coming from an internet gateway, NAT gateway, or over VPN or AWS Direct Connect.

And I'm not sure Traffic Mirroring can be for filtering

I didn't realize the network firewall could do inspection, but here's what the documentation says: AWS Network Firewall supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection, allowing customers to strengthen their security posture on AWS by improving visibility into encrypted traffic flows. You can use AWS Network Firewall to decrypt TLS sessions and inspect both inbound and outbound Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) traffic without the need to deploy or manage any additional network security infrastructure. Encryption and decryption happen on the same firewall instance natively, so traffic does not cross any network boundaries.

Why isn’t D viable? Firewall Manager will help to provision network firewall as required if you define it in firewall manager. And it’s fully managed, not requiring you to do any configuration or set up.

- AWS Network Firewall is a managed network security service that provides stateful inspection of traffic and allows you to define firewall rules to control the traffic flow in and out of your VPC. - With AWS Network Firewall, you can create custom rule groups to define specific operations for traffic inspection and filtering. - It can perform deep packet inspection and filtering at the network level to enforce security policies, block malicious traffic, and allow or deny traffic based on defined rules. - By integrating AWS Network Firewall with the production VPC, you can achieve similar functionalities as the on-premises inspection server, performing traffic flow inspection and filtering.

AWS Network Firewall is a managed network firewall service that allows you to define firewall rules to filter and inspect network traffic. You can create rules to define the traffic that should be allowed or blocked based on various criteria such as source/destination IP addresses, protocols, ports, and more. With AWS Network Firewall, you can implement traffic inspection and filtering capabilities within the production VPC, helping to protect the network traffic. In the context of the given scenario, AWS Network Firewall can be a suitable choice if the company wants to implement traffic inspection and filtering directly within the VPC without the need for traffic mirroring. It provides an additional layer of security by enforcing specific rules for traffic filtering, which can help protect the production environment.

Selected Answer: C
C is correct as the option uses AWS services to fully meet the requirement. Has the question not been asking "in the AWS cloud", option B could be a correct option too, but a costlier one though as the user has to pay for network data for every bit of traffic replication between AWS cloud and on-prem location.
