```A network engineer created a VPC endpoint for the service shown in the exhibit. The endpoint is in the 'available' state, but instances in the VPC cannot resolve the private DNS name 'example.com'. What is the most likely cause?
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
✓
The endpoint does not have 'Private DNS names enabled'
The private DNS name is only resolved via Route 53 private hosted zone if 'Private DNS names enabled' is set. The exhibit shows the service has a PrivateDnsName, but the endpoint must have 'Private DNS names enabled' for resolution to work.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The VPC does not have a Route 53 private hosted zone for example.com
Why it's wrong here
The endpoint can automatically manage private DNS if enabled; a private hosted zone is not required separately.
- ✗
The VPC does not have an internet gateway
Why it's wrong here
Internet gateway is not needed for endpoint private DNS resolution.
- ✓
The endpoint does not have 'Private DNS names enabled'
Why this is correct
Without enabling this option, the private DNS name is not resolved.
- ✗
The security group for the endpoint is blocking DNS traffic
Why it's wrong here
Security groups do not affect DNS resolution; they affect traffic to the endpoint.
