Question 9: Internet Gateway (I1)

Answer:

The DevOps team at an IT company has created a custom VPC (V1) and attached an Internet Gateway (I1) to the VPC. The team has also created a subnet (S1) in this custom VPC and added a route to this subnet's route table (R1) that directs internet-bound traffic to the Internet Gateway. Now the team launches an EC2 instance (E1) in the subnet S1 and assigns a public IPv4 address to this instance.Next the team also launches a NAT instance (N1) in the subnet S1.Under the given infrastructure setup, which of the following entities is doing the Network Address Translation for the EC2 instance E1?

Question 10: AWS Step Functions

Answer:

A big data consulting firm needs to set up a data lake on Amazon S3 for a retail client. The data lake is split in raw and refined zones. The source data arrives in the raw zone and is then processed via an AWS Glue based ETL job into the refined zone. The workflow also involves multiple lambda functions that perform data hygiene and data completeness checks in both the raw and refined zones. The firm is looking for an orchestration solution to manage this end to end workflow.As a solutions architect, which of the following AWS services involves the LEAST development effort for this use-case?

Question 11: This is a scale-up example of vertical scalability
