Q

What needs to be considered using an Elastic IP?

A
  • IPv6 is not supported (atm)
  • When associating an EIP the currently attached IP will be send back to the IP pool
  • The DNS host name will be changed
  • Theres no charge for using an EIP but a charge when it is not used
  • It is regional

Q

What are the characteristics of a NAT Gateway (in terms of IPs, Subnet etc.)

A

The private subnets that will use the NAT have a 0.0.0.0/0 destination route to the NAT Gateway (nat-012345)
The private subnets can only receive traffic after sending the request - the internet cannot directly talk to private subnets.
The Gateway is only accessible from the same AZ

Every subnet that wants to send or receive traffic needs to have a route

66
Q

VPC: Can a VPC peer with two VPCs that have the same IP range?

75
Q

What are Source/Destination checks?

A

AWS checks if the traffic to an instance corresponse being the source or destination with the traffic it sends or receives.

This check must be disabled for a NAT instance since the recipient of the traffic is not the NAT instance

76
Q

How are rules evaluated in the NACL?

A

In order - the first fitting rule that fits will be taken

77

85
Q

DNS: What is a CNAME?

A

Canonical Name
Is an alias to an A-Record
www.xyz.de -> xyz.de
m.xyz.de -> mobile.xyz.de

86
Q

DNS: What is an Alias Record?

A

Specific to AWS

Maps a domain to another DNS entry, for example a Load Balancer

87
Q

Route53: What is Multivalue Answer?

A

You give a list of (max.) 12 IPs, AWS checks the health of those and returns (max.) 8 as targets

88
Q

Which protocol does AWS Direct Connect use to share routing information?

A

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the protocol used within the Direct Connect service for sharing routing information from the router in your Data Centre to AWS and vice versa.

89
Q

VPN: What is Direct Connect Multi-Account Support?

A

Possiblity to use direct connect with multiple accounts (Test, Dev, Prod) as long as they are under one payer account (in AWS Organisations)

90
Q

Using a NAT Gateway, how is the routing set up?

A

0.0.0.0/0 NAT-ID in the private subnet

91
Q

Using a NAT Gateway, what changes have to be made for the security group (if not 0.0.0.0/0 is allowed)?

A

Add the subnet range to the allowed sources

Source 10.0.1.0/24 on port 80/443

92
Q

By recommendation: What are the main/custom route tables used for?

A

main: private subnet
custom: public subnet

93
Q

VPC: What is the Egress-only Internet Gateway?

A

A stateful gateway to provide egress only access for IPv6 traffic from the VPC to the Internet.

94
Q

VPC: What is a VPC Endpoint?

A

Enables private connectivity to services hosted in AWS, from within your VPC without using an Internet Gateway, VPN, Network Address Translation (NAT) devices, or firewall proxies.

95
Q

VPC: What are the different types of VPC endpoints available on Amazon VPC?

A

Gateway type endpoints are available only for AWS services including S3 and DynamoDB. These endpoints will add an entry to your route table you selected and route the traffic to the supported services through Amazon’s private network.

Interface type endpoints provide private connectivity to services powered by PrivateLink, being AWS services, your own services or SaaS solutions, and supports connectivity over Direct Connect. More AWS and SaaS solutions will be supported by these endpoints in the future. Please refer to VPC Pricing for the price of interface type endpoints.

96
Q

VPC: How do instances without public IP addresses access the Internet?

A
  1. Through a NAT gateway or a NAT instance
  2. with a hardware VPN connection or Direct Connect connection, instances can route their Internet traffic down the virtual private gateway to your existing datacenter. From there, it can access the Internet via your existing egress points and network security/monitoring devices.
97
Q

ELB: What happens to running instances if an ALB gets deleted?

A

Deleting a load balancer does not affect its registered targets. For example, your EC2 instances continue to run and are still registered to their target groups.

98
Q

What is Traffic Mirroring?

A

Direct access to the network packets flowing through your VPC by allowing you to mirror and forward them to another network interface in the same or another VPC in the same or another account.

A

The target instance closed the connection from the load balancer e.g.
The error usually indicates that the load balancer received an unexpected response from
the target, such as a TCP reset or TCP FIN. The “Bad Gateway” error is generated by the
application load balancer, so receiving the error indicates users are able to connect to it.

153
Q

When browsing to the public URL of an application load balancer, users receive a
“Gateway Timeout” error. The target group contains only EC2 instances. What could this
indicate?

A

The “Gateway Timeout” error occurs when the target doesn’t respond.
