This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of operations and maintenance. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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 runs SAP on AWS and uses AWS CloudTrail to monitor API activity. The security team wants to receive real-time notifications when specific SAP-related API calls are made. Which AWS service should they use to filter and forward these events?
Amazon Inspector
Why wrong: Inspector is for security assessments, not event routing.
AWS Config
Why wrong: Config evaluates resource configurations, not API calls.
Amazon EventBridge
EventBridge can filter CloudTrail events and trigger actions.
AWS Trusted Advisor
Why wrong: Trusted Advisor gives recommendations, not real-time notifications.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Amazon EventBridge
Option B is correct because Amazon EventBridge can ingest CloudTrail events and route them to targets such as SNS for notifications based on event patterns. Option A is wrong because Amazon Inspector is for vulnerability assessment. Option C is wrong because AWS Config is for resource compliance. Option D is wrong because AWS Trusted Advisor provides best practice checks, not real-time event filtering.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Amazon Inspector
Why it's wrong here
Inspector is for security assessments, not event routing.
AWS Config
Why it's wrong here
Config evaluates resource configurations, not API calls.
Amazon EventBridge
Why this is correct
EventBridge can filter CloudTrail events and trigger actions.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
AWS Trusted Advisor
Why it's wrong here
Trusted Advisor gives recommendations, not real-time notifications.
Common exam traps
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Detailed technical explanation
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
What to study next
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related PAS-C01 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
