CV0-004 Troubleshooting Practice Question
A cloud administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue between two VPCs in the same region. Which TWO actions should the administrator verify? (Choose two.)
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
✓
VPC peering connection status
The correct answers are A and B. The VPC peering connection must be in the 'active' state (A), and the route tables in both VPCs must have routes pointing to the peering connection (B). Security group rules (C) are not the primary check because security groups are stateful and allow return traffic by default; they can be configured to block traffic but are not the first thing to verify in this scenario. VPN tunnel configuration (D) is a different connectivity method. Internet gateway attachment (E) is for internet access, not VPC peering.
