- A
Configure the firewall appliance to perform stateful inspection and route traffic back to the Transit Gateway.
Correct: Firewall must inspect and forward traffic.
- B
Set up VPC peering between the inspection VPC and each spoke VPC.
Why wrong: Wrong: Transit Gateway handles connectivity, not VPC peering.
- C
Create Transit Gateway route tables that propagate routes from the inspection VPC and associate them with the other VPC attachments.
Correct: Route tables direct traffic to inspection VPC.
- D
Establish an AWS Direct Connect connection between the inspection VPC and the on-premises network.
Why wrong: Wrong: Direct Connect is not required for traffic inspection.
- E
Attach the inspection VPC to the Transit Gateway.
Correct: Attachment is necessary for traffic flow.
ANS-C01 Network Security, Compliance and Governance Practice Question
This ANS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of network security, compliance and governance. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company uses AWS Transit Gateway to connect multiple VPCs and on-premises networks via VPN. They want to ensure that traffic between VPCs is inspected by a third-party firewall appliance deployed in a centralized inspection VPC. Which THREE steps are required? (Choose three.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Configure the firewall appliance to perform stateful inspection and route traffic back to the Transit Gateway.
Option A is correct because the inspection VPC must be attached to the Transit Gateway. Option B is correct because route tables must direct inter-VPC traffic to the inspection VPC. Option C is correct because the firewall appliance must be configured to inspect and forward traffic. Option D is wrong because Direct Connect is not required; VPN is already used. Option E is wrong because VPC Peering is not used with Transit Gateway; Transit Gateway replaces peering.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
