The Web Application Development team is worried about malicious activity from 200 random IP addresses. Which action will ensure security and scalability from this type of threat?
A.
Use inbound security group rules to block the IP addresses.
B.
Use inbound network ACL rules to block the IP addresses.
C.
Use AWS WAF to block the IP addresses.
D.
Write iptables rules on the instance to block the IP addresses.
The answer is C
NACL cant be cant be an option here due to the fact that its current quota is 20 rules per NACL including implicit deny rule. However you can have 200 NACLs per VPC.
b is not an answer as there is a limit on the number of rules per ACL and we don't know if these ip's are even in the same range. C is the right answer
20/40 rules peR ACL

Ans is C
"Random" IPs so you cannot scalably put rules in NACLs, also not best practice for AWS to have that large amount of NACLs.
"AWS WAF, which functions like a typical web application firewall, but with the added reliability and scalability that comes with being an AWS-managed service."
It's C all day long https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/how-to-use-aws-waf-to-filter-incoming-traffic-from-embargoed-countries/ and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/classic-tutorials-4xx-blocking.html
