AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C01) — Question 130

A company's security guidelines state that all outbound traffic from a VPC to the company's on-premises data center must pass through a security appliance. The security appliance runs on an Amazon EC2 instance. A network engineer needs to improve the network performance between the on-premises data center and the security appliance.

Which actions should the network engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use an EC2 instance that supports enhanced networking.
• B. Send outbound traffic through a transit gateway.
• C. Increase the EC2 instance size.
• D. Place the EC2 instance in a placement group within the VPC.
• E. Attach multiple elastic network interfaces to the EC2 instance.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Choosing option A is correct because enhanced networking improves the performance of the EC2 instance by providing higher bandwidth and lower latency. Option C is also correct as increasing the EC2 instance size can provide more resources, which can lead to better performance. Options B, D, and E do not directly address the performance enhancement of the EC2 instance itself.
