AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 372

A company wants to deploy a highly available third-party firewall appliance.

Which AWS service or resource will support this task?

Answer options

• A. AWS WAF
• B. AWS Security Hub
• C. AWS Firewall Manager
• D. Gateway Load Balancer

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) is designed to easily deploy, scale, and manage third-party virtual appliances, providing high availability and load balancing for firewalls. AWS WAF is a managed web application firewall, AWS Security Hub provides security posture management, and AWS Firewall Manager centrally manages firewall rules across accounts, but none of these host third-party appliances directly.
