Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 4 discussion

Keywords: - EC2 in VPC - EC2 instance needs to access the S3 bucket without connectivity to the internet A: Correct - Gateway VPC endpoint can connect to S3 bucket privately without additional cost B: Incorrect - You can set up interface VPC endpoint for CloudWatch Logs for private network from EC2 to CloudWatch. But from CloudWatch to S3 bucket: Log data can take up to 12 hours to become available for export and the requirement only need EC2 to S3 C: Incorrect - Create an instance profile just grant access but not help EC2 connect to S3 privately D: Incorrect - API Gateway like the proxy which receive network from out site and it forward request to AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2, Elastic Load Balancing products such as Application Load Balancers or Classic Load Balancers, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, or any publicly available HTTPS-based endpoint. But not S3

VPC endpoint allows you to connect to AWS services using a private network instead of using the public Internet

Here's why Option A is the correct choice: Gateway VPC Endpoint: A gateway VPC endpoint allows you to privately connect your VPC to supported AWS services. By creating a gateway VPC endpoint for S3, you can establish a private connection between your VPC and the S3 service without requiring internet connectivity. Private network connectivity: The gateway VPC endpoint for S3 enables your EC2 instance within the VPC to access the S3 bucket over the private network, ensuring secure and direct communication between the EC2 instance and S3. No internet connectivity required: Since the requirement is to access the S3 bucket without internet connectivity, the gateway VPC endpoint provides a private and direct connection to S3 without needing to route traffic through the internet. Minimal operational complexity: Setting up a gateway VPC endpoint is a straightforward process. It involves creating the endpoint and configuring the appropriate routing in the VPC. This solution minimizes operational complexity while providing the required private network connectivity.

Keywords: - EC2 in VPC - EC2 instance needs to access the S3 bucket without connectivity to the internet VPC endpoint allows you to connect to AWS services using a private network instead of using the public Internet. With a gateway endpoint, you can access Amazon S3 from your VPC, without requiring an internet gateway or NAT device for your VPC, and with no additional cost. However, gateway endpoints do not allow access from on-premises networks, from peered VPCs in other AWS Regions, or through a transit gateway.

A. Correct answer. The easiest way to get private network connectivity in S3 is using VPC gateway endpoint. This service is free, and it is integrated natively with S3. B. Amazon CloudWatch Logs only collects and monitors logs but natively has not mechanisms to use private connection. C. Instance profiles are used to assign IAM roles to an EC2 instance, but it is not related to network connectivity. D. API Gateway like the proxy which receive network from out site and it forward request to AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2, Elastic Load Balancing products such as Application Load Balancers or Classic Load Balancers, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Kinesis, or any publicly available HTTPS-based endpoint. But not S3.

***CORRECT ANSWER*** The correct solution that will provide private network connectivity to Amazon S3 is Option A: Create a gateway VPC endpoint to the S3 bucket. ***EXPLANATION*** Option A involves creating a gateway VPC endpoint, which is a network interface in a VPC that allows you to privately connect to a service over the Amazon network. You can create a gateway VPC endpoint for Amazon S3, which will allow the EC2 instance in the VPC to access the S3 bucket without connectivity to the internet. Option B involves streaming the logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs and then exporting the logs to the S3 bucket. This option would not provide private network connectivity to S3, as the logs would need to be exported over the internet.

A. You should create VPC endpoint and link to S3 endpoint to transfer internally in AWS without internet

Ans A. VPC = Virtual Private Cloud, so its already private... so just create another end point...

A for sure

Gateway VPC endpoint will provide private network connectivity to Amazon S3

Option A is corect when you need a establish a conection between EC2 and S3 then gateway and VPc is the best choice

Answer -A VPC endpoints are created to access any AWS services privately without going to internet.

VPC Endpoint is the TOP Notch choice, allows services to connect via private could. VPC literally means virtual private cloud. Best choice

Easiest way to avoid internet traffic is to use VPC endpoints to let services communicate with each other

gateway VPC to S3 ensures data stays within AWS

Answer-A

VPC endpoint allows you to connect to AWS services using a private network instead of using the public Internet
