Sample AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty exam question
Answer this question the same way you would on exam day. No sign-up needed — one random question, three tries to swap it out.
You need to design a cost-optimized network for a media company that transfers 50 TB of data per day from EC2 instances in private subnets to external CDNs via the internet. Current design uses a NAT Gateway. Which alternative would provide the lowest total monthly cost while meeting performance requirements? (Assume steady traffic, no latency constraints from internet path.)
# Represent the cost comparison logic
# Assume 50 TB/day outbound, 30 days/month = 1500 TB/month
# Internet egress: first 10 TB @ $0.09 = $900, next 40 TB @ $0.085 = $3400, rest to 1500 TB? Actually pricing tiers; approximate cost ~ $0.07/GB average = $105,000
# DX 10 Gbps port: $6,480/month + $0.02/GB * 1500 TB = $30,000 + $6,480 = $36,480
# DX with reserved 1 year: port cheaper. Savings significant.
# Note: The question required cost optimization without specific bandwidth, but exam logic accepts DX as cheaper for high volume.
