Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 630 discussion

A solutions architect is designing a network for a new cloud deployment. Each account will need autonomy to modify route tables and make changes. Centralized and controlled egress internet connectivity is also needed. The cloud footprint is expected to grow to thousands of AWS accounts.
Which architecture will meet these requirements?

  • A. A centralized transit VPC with a VPN connection to a standalone VPC in each account. Outbound internet traffic will be controlled by firewall appliances.
  • B. A centralized shared VPC with a subnet for each account. Outbound internet traffic will be controlled through a fleet of proxy servers.
  • C. A shared services VPC to host central assets to include a fleet of firewalls with a route to the internet. Each spoke VPC will peer to the central VPC.
  • D. A shared transit gateway to which each VPC will be attached. Outbound internet access will route through a fleet of VPN-attached firewalls.

A would not scale beyond 100 VPN connections to a VPC B would not scale beyond 200 subnets in a single VPC (you can increase the subnet quota beyond 200, but ultimately this doesn't scale because your CIDR and minimum subnet size would limit you at some point) C would not scale beyond the VPC peering limit of 50 (you can increase this to 125, but not beyond that) D would scale the most, but even that is not infinite, you'd have a limit of 5,000 TGW attachments (can be increased), or 10k static routes per TGW (one for each VPC CIDR), or 50Gbps throughput, or the VPN throughput of your firewalls.

I think D "VPN-attached firewalls" should be "VPC-attached firewalls" ? otherwise it makes no sense

D looks good except "VPN-attached firewalls". What is this? Did they mean VPC attached firewalls?

Using an EC2 instance for centralized outbound Using a software-based firewall appliance (on EC2) from AWS Marketplace as an egress point is similar to the NAT gateway setup. This option can be used if you want to leverage the layer 7 firewall/Intrusion Prevention/Detection System (IPS/IDS) capabilities of the various vendor offerings. In Figure 12, we replace NAT Gateway with an EC2 instance (with SNAT enabled on EC2 instance). There are few key considerations with this

change my Answer to D. B says " A centralized shared VPC with a subnet for each account" this would not allow to grow to support 1000s AWS account
