AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 420

A company recently created its first AWS account.

Which AWS services will require the use of a VPC? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Amazon S3
• B. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
• C. Amazon Cognito
• D. Amazon DynamoDB
• E. Amazon EC2

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon EFS mount targets must be provisioned inside a VPC to secure and manage their network traffic. On the other hand, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Cognito are serverless, public-facing services that do not require a VPC to run, although they can be accessed privately from a VPC using endpoints.
