Which statement best describes an AWS account’s default network access control list?

A - It is stateless and denies all inbound and outbound traffic.
B - It is stateful and allows all inbound and outbound traffic.
C - It is stateless and allows all inbound and outbound traffic.
D - It is stateful and denies all inbound and outbound traffic.

A

It is stateless and allows all inbound and outbound traffic.

Network access control lists (ACLs) perform stateless packet filtering. They remember nothing and check packets that cross the subnet border each way: inbound and outbound.

Each AWS account includes a default network ACL. When configuring your VPC, you can use your account’s default network ACL or create custom network ACLs.

By default, your account’s default network ACL allows all inbound and outbound traffic, but you can modify it by adding your own rules. For custom network ACLs, all inbound and outbound traffic is denied until you add rules to specify which traffic should be allowed. Additionally, all network ACLs have an explicit deny rule. This rule ensures that if a packet doesn’t match any of the other rules on the list, the packet is denied.

B - Place the Amazon EC2 instances in a public subnet and the Amazon RDS database instances in a private subnet.
C - Place the Amazon EC2 instances and the Amazon RDS database instances in a public subnet.
D - Place the Amazon EC2 instances and the Amazon RDS database instances in a private subnet.

A

Place the Amazon EC2 instances in a public subnet and the Amazon RDS databases instances in a private subnet.

A subnet is a section of a VPC in which you can group resources based on security or operational needs. Subnets can be public or private.

Public subnets contain resources that need to be accessible by the public, such as an online store’s website.

Private subnets contain resources that should be accessible only through your private network, such as a database that contains customers’ personal information and order histories.
