ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company has a VPC with multiple subnets. They want to use VPC Flow Logs to capture network traffic metadata for troubleshooting. Which TWO of the following are valid destinations for VPC Flow Logs? (Select TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The ANS-C01 exam often tests that candidates confuse supported destinations (CloudWatch Logs and S3) with downstream processing services like Kinesis, Lambda, or SQS, which are not valid direct targets for VPC Flow Logs.
