ANS-C01 Network Implementation Practice Question
A company is designing a VPC with multiple subnets. The company wants to use VPC Flow Logs to monitor network traffic. Which TWO of the following are valid destinations for VPC Flow Logs?
⚠ Common exam trap
The ANS-C01 exam often tests that candidates confuse supported destinations with downstream integrations; the trap here is that Kinesis Data Firehose is a valid downstream target via a CloudWatch Logs subscription filter, but it is not a direct destination for VPC Flow Logs.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon CloudWatch Logs
VPC Flow Logs can publish flow log records directly to Amazon CloudWatch Logs, where you can view, search, and filter log data using the CloudWatch Logs console or API. This destination is enabled by default when you create a flow log via the AWS Management Console, making it the most common integration point for monitoring and alerting on network traffic patterns.
