AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 225

You are attempting to connect to an instance in Amazon VPC without success. You have already verified that the VPC has an Internet Gateway (IGW) the instance has an associated Elastic IP (EIP) and correct security group rules are in place.
Which VPC component should you evaluate next?

Answer options

• A. The configuration of a NAT instance
• B. The configuration of the Routing Table
• C. The configuration of the internet Gateway (IGW)
• D. The configuration of SRC/DST checking

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Routing Table is crucial for directing traffic to and from the Internet Gateway. If the Routing Table is not configured correctly to route traffic to the IGW, the instance will not be reachable from the internet. The other options, while important, are not as directly related to the connectivity issue described.
