AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional SAP-C01 – Question336

A user has created a VPC with CIDR 20.0.0.0/16 using the VPC wizard. The user has created public and VPN only subnets along with hardware VPN access to connect to the user's data center. The user has not yet launched any instance as well as modified or deleted any setup. He wants to delete this VPC from the console.
Will the console allow the user to delete the VPC?

A. Yes, the user can detach the virtual private gateway and then use the VPC console to delete the VPC.
B. No, since the NAT instance is running, the user cannot delete the VPC.
C. Yes, the user can use the CLI to delete the VPC that will detach the virtual private gateway automatically.
D. No, the VPC console needs to be accessed using an administrator account to delete the VPC.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Explanation: You can delete your VPC at any time (for example, if you decide it’s too small). However, you must terminate all instances in the VPC first. When you delete a VPC using the VPC console, Amazon deletes all its components, such as subnets, security groups, network ACLs, route tables, Internet gateways, VPC peering connections, and DHCP options. If you have a VPN connection, you don’t have to delete it or the other components related to the VPN (such as the customer gateway and virtual private gateway).
