Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
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 assesses security, not network flow.
- ✗
AWS Config
Why it's wrong here
Config tracks resource configurations, not network traffic.
- ✓
VPC Flow Logs
Why this is correct
VPC Flow Logs capture IP traffic metadata at the network interface level, recording source/destination IPs, ports, protocols, and packet accept/reject decisions without inspecting packet payloads. This satisfies the stem’s requirement to *analyse traffic metadata* between subnets, as the logs are published to Amazon CloudWatch Logs or S3 for querying with tools like Athena, enabling identification of blocked flows or asymmetric routing.
- ✗
AWS CloudTrail
Why it's wrong here
CloudTrail logs API calls, not network traffic.
