Practice Test 1 | AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate | SAA-C03 | Dumps | Mock Test
You are working as an AWS Architect for a start-up company. The company has a two-tier production website on AWS with web servers in the front end & database servers in the back end. The third-party firm has been looking after the operations of these database servers. They need to access these database servers in private subnets on the SSH port. As per standard operating procedure provided by the Security team, all access to these servers should be over a jumpbox accessible from internet. What will be the best solution to meet this requirement?
A. Deploy Bastion hosts in Private Subnet
B. Deploy NAT Instance in Private Subnet
C. Deploy NAT Instance in Public Subnet
D. Deploy Bastion hosts in Public Subnet
Explanation:
Correct Answer – D
External users will be unable to access the instance in private subnets directly. To provide such access, we need to deploy Bastion hosts in public subnets. In case of the above requirement, third-party users will initiate a connection to Bastion hosts in public subnets & from there, they will access SSH connection to database servers in private subnets.
- Option A is incorrect as Bastion hosts need to be in Public subnets & not in Private subnets, as third-party users will be accessing these servers from the internet.
- Option B is incorrect as NAT instance is used to provide internet traffic to hosts in private subnets. Users from the internet will not be able to do SSH connections to hosts in private subnets using NAT instance. NAT instance is always present in Public subnets.
- Option C is incorrect as NAT instance is used to provide internet traffic to hosts in private subnets. Users from the internet will not be able to do SSH connections to hosts in private subnets using NAT instance.
