A company recently deployed a new application that runs on a group of Amazon EC2 Linux instances in a VPC.In a peered VPC, the company launched an EC2Linux instance that serves as a bastion host.The security group of the application instances allows access only on TCP port 22 from the private IP of the bastion host.The security group of the bastion host allows access to TCP port 22 from 0.0.0.0/0 so that system administrators can use SSH to remotely log in to the application instances from several branch offices.While looking through operating system logs on the bastion host, a cloud engineer notices thousands of failed SSH logins to the bastion host from locations around the world.The cloud engineer wants to change how remote access is granted to the application instances and wants to meet the following requirements:✑ Eliminate brute-force SSH login attempts.✑ Retain a log of commands run during an SSH session.✑ Retain the ability to forward ports.Which solution meets these requirements for remote access to the application instances?Read More →

A company wants to design a disaster recovery (DR) solution for an application that runs in the company’s data center.The application writes to an SMB file share and creates a copy on a second file share.Both file shares are in the data center.The application uses two types of files: metadata files and image files.The company wants to store the copy on AWS.The company needs the ability to use SMB to access the data from either the data center or AWS if a disaster occurs.The copy of the data is rarely accessed but must be available within 5 minutes.Read More →
