AWS Certified SysOps Administrator SOA-C01 – Question285

A user has created a VPC with two subnets: one public and one private. The user is planning to run the patch update for the instances in the private subnet. How can the instances in the private subnet connect to the Internet?

A. Use the internet gateway with a private IP
B. Allow outbound traffic in the security group for port 80 to allow internet updates
C. The private subnet can never connect to the internet
D. Use NAT with an elastic IP

Correct Answer: D

If the user has created two subnets (one private and one public., he would need a Network Address Translation (NAT) instance with the elastic IP address. This enables the instances in the private subnet to send requests to the Internet (for example, to perform software updates).
