350-701 Uses AWS and Azure Practice Question
An organization uses AWS and Azure. They deploy Cisco Secure Workload to enforce microsegmentation. They discover that after deploying agents on EC2 instances, some traffic is misclassified due to overlapping IPs across multiple VPCs. Which configuration change best resolves this?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that labels or enforcement scopes alone can solve IP overlap issues, but the correct answer requires understanding that cloud-native metadata integration (Cloud Connector) is the designed solution for disambiguating overlapping IPs in multi-cloud environments.
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
✓
Use Cloud Connector to map instance metadata
C is correct because Cloud Connector in Cisco Secure Workload (formerly Tetration) integrates with AWS and Azure APIs to retrieve instance metadata, such as VPC ID, subnet, and instance ID. This metadata allows Secure Workload to uniquely identify workloads even when they have overlapping IP addresses across different VPCs, enabling accurate traffic classification and policy enforcement.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Reassign unique labels for each workload
Why it's wrong here
Label reassignment is manual and time-consuming; it does not fix automatic classification.
- ✗
Enable VRF-like segmentation within Secure Workload
Why it's wrong here
Secure Workload does not support VRF-like segmentation natively.
- ✓
Use Cloud Connector to map instance metadata
Why this is correct
Cloud Connector enriches workload identity with cloud metadata, disambiguating overlapping IPs.
- ✗
Configure separate enforcement scopes for each VPC
Why it's wrong here
Scopes help with policy organization but do not automatically resolve IP overlap.
