AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 367

A user has created a VPC with public and private subnets using the VPC wizard. Which of the below mentioned statements is true in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. The AWS VPC will automatically create a NAT instance with the micro size
• B. VPC bounds the main route table with a private subnet and a custom route table with a public subnet
• C. The user has to manually create a NAT instance
• D. VPC bounds the main route table with a public subnet and a custom route table with a private subnet

Correct answer: B

Explanation

When using the VPC wizard to create a VPC with public and private subnets, the main route table is automatically associated with the private subnet, while a custom route table with a route to the Internet Gateway is associated with the public subnet. This configuration ensures that any newly created subnets remain private by default unless explicitly associated with the custom route table. NAT instances or gateways are not automatically provisioned as micro instances, and the user has the option to configure them during the wizard setup.
