Exam question from Amazon's AWS-SysOps
Question #: 753
Topic #: 1
[All AWS-SysOps Questions]

A company is concerned about its ability to recover from a disaster because all of its Amazon EC2 instances are located in a single Amazon VPC in us-east-1. A second Amazon VPC has been configured in eu-west-1 to act as a backup VPC in case of an outage. Data will be replicated from the primary region to the secondary region. The Information Security team's compliance requirements specify that all data must be encrypted and must not traverse the public internet.
How should the SysOps Administrator connect the two VPCs while meeting the compliance requirements?

  • A. Configure EC2 instances to act as VPN appliances, then configure route tables.
  • B. Configure inter-region VPC peering between the two VPCs, then configure route tables.
  • C. Configure NAT gateways in both VPCs, then configure route tables.
  • D. Configure an internet gateway in each VPC, and use these as the targets for the VPC route tables.

Selected Answer: B
By configuring inter-region VPC peering between the primary VPC in us-east-1 and the backup VPC in eu-west-1, you can establish a secure, private connection between the VPCs. This connection allows for the replication of data from the primary region to the secondary region without traversing the public internet. Inter-region VPC peering uses AWS's private network backbone, ensuring that the traffic between the VPCs remains within the AWS network and is encrypted. This meets the compliance requirement of encrypting data and prevents it from being exposed to the public internet.

B https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/announcing-support-for-inter-region-vpc-peering/ Inter-Region VPC Peering provides a simple and cost-effective way to share resources between regions or replicate data for geographic redundancy. Built on the same horizontally scaled, redundant, and highly available technology that powers VPC today, Inter-Region VPC Peering encrypts inter-region traffic with no single point of failure or bandwidth bottleneck. Traffic using Inter-Region VPC Peering always stays on the global AWS backbone and never traverses the public internet, thereby reducing threat vectors, such as common exploits and DDoS attacks.

One VPC in us-east-1 the other one is on eu-west-1, so US and EU are inter-region

'inter-region' means 'between diffrent regions' question has us-east-1 and eu-west-1. inter-region peering is needed for connection between diffrent VPC regions.

Inter-region Peering Details This feature is currently enabled in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Seoul) Regions and for IPv4 traffic. Data that passes between VPCs in distinct regions flows across the AWS global network in encrypted form.
