Question 280
A professional architect is reviewing two independent workstreams. Requirement A: Two regional Transit Gateways must exchange approved network prefixes without provisioning a separate VPC-to-VPC peering mesh. Requirement B: Compliance requires protected organization-wide API activity logs to flow into a centralized security account with controlled deletion. Choose TWO remedies that meet A and B respectively.
Explanation
Correct Answers
This action meets the independently stated requirement A: Two regional Transit Gateways must exchange approved network prefixes without provisioning a separate VPC-to-VPC peering mesh. Transit Gateway peering requires explicit routing between the regional gateways. A direct acceptance check is: Traffic crosses the regional peering attachment only for specifically installed and approved prefixes.
This action meets the independently stated requirement B: Compliance requires protected organization-wide API activity logs to flow into a centralized security account with controlled deletion. AWS Organizations trails centralize multi-account CloudTrail logging when storage access is secured. A direct acceptance check is: Every enrolled account produces expected trail events in the security account and workloads cannot delete retained logs.
Incorrect Answers
This action targets a different technical need: A department must be notified promptly when monthly spending exceeds its threshold. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. AWS Budgets supports spend targets and notifications on actual or forecasted cost; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
This action targets a different technical need: A company uses Direct Connect for normal hybrid traffic but needs encrypted emergency connectivity if carrier circuits fail. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. A tested secondary encrypted tunnel path can carry critical traffic while primary private connectivity is unavailable; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
This action targets a different technical need: A vendor assumes a role into an AWS account and must be restricted to one project's S3 prefix for that session only. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. Session policies intersect with role permissions and can reduce privileges for one temporary session; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
