ANS-C01 Question 325
Select 3Your organization is deploying a serverless architecture using AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge. You need to create a solution where network configurations, such as updating security groups and modifying route tables, are automatically adjusted based on specific events like adding a new VPC or detecting unexpected traffic patterns. Which combination of services and features would best achieve event-driven network automation?
- A
Amazon EventBridge to detect events and trigger AWS Lambda functions
- B
AWS Lambda to execute logic for network configuration changes
- C
Amazon CloudWatch to directly modify security groups and route tables
- D
AWS Systems Manager Automation to manage network tasks based on predefined workflows
- E
AWS Config to monitor resource compliance and trigger rule-based actions
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
Event-driven network automation in AWS leverages services like Amazon EventBridge to detect events and trigger actions. AWS Lambda performs the logic for network changes, while AWS Config ensures compliance and can trigger additional automation based on rules. These services work together to enable a dynamic, automated network management solution.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Amazon EventBridge is a service used to detect specific events and route them to targets like AWS Lambda functions for automation workflows.
- B. Correct.
Correct: AWS Lambda executes the logic required for event-driven tasks, such as modifying security groups or route tables based on the detected event.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Amazon CloudWatch is primarily used for monitoring and alerting. It cannot directly modify network configurations.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While AWS Systems Manager Automation is useful for predefined workflows, it is not directly event-driven and requires manual or scheduled triggers.
- E. Correct.
Correct: AWS Config monitors AWS resources and can trigger actions based on compliance rules, making it a key part of an event-driven network automation solution.
