A company runs a workload in a single VPC on AWS. The company’s architecture contains several interface VPC endpoints for AWS services, including Amazon CloudWatch Logs and AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). The endpoints are configured to use a shared security group. The security group is not used for any other workloads or resources.
After a security review of the environment, the company determined that the shared security group is more permissive than necessary. The company wants to make the rules associated with the security group more restrictive. The changes to the security group rules must not prevent the resources in the VPC from using AWS services through interface VPC endpoints. The changes must prevent unnecessary access.
The security group currently uses the following rules:
• Inbound - Rule 1
Protocol: TCP
Port: 443
Source: 0.0.0.0/0
• Inbound - Rule 2
Protocol: TCP
Port: 443
Source: VPC CIDR
• Outbound - Rule 1
Protocol: All
Port: All
Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
Which rule or rules should the company remove to meet with these requirements?
A company's application is deployed on Amazon EC2 instances in a single VPC in an AWS Region. The EC2 instances are running in two Availability Zones. The company decides to use a fleet of traffic inspection instances from AWS Marketplace to inspect traffic between the VPC and the internet. The company is performing tests before the company deploys the architecture into production.
The fleet is located in a shared inspection VPC behind a Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB). To minimize the cost of the solution, the company deployed only one inspection instance in each Availability Zone that the application uses.
During tests, a network engineer notices that traffic inspection works as expected when the network is stable. However, during maintenance of the inspection instances, the internet sessions time out for some application instances. The application instances are not able to establish new sessions.
Which combination of steps will remediate these issues? (Choose two.)
A company is hosting an application on Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB). A solutions architect added EC2 instances in a second Availability Zone to improve the availability of the application. The solutions architect added the instances to the NLB target group.
The company's operations team notices that traffic is being routed only to the instances in the first Availability Zone.
What is the MOST operationally efficient solution to resolve this issue?
