Required traffic passes through supported inspection endpoints and prohibited destinations are blocked without disrupting established authorized flows. That result supports AWS Network Firewall stateful egress filtering but does not establish the requested networking outcome here. Instead verify: Investigators identify both the network configuration actor and the observed flow outcome without confusing API calls with packet contents. Scenario: An organization sees a sudden security group exposure but reviews only Flow Logs and cannot determine which IAM principal opened the inbound rule.

In-scope accounts conform to intended centrally governed network security policy while approved exclusions are documented. That result supports AWS Firewall Manager organization-wide audit but does not establish the requested networking outcome here. Instead verify: Investigators identify both the network configuration actor and the observed flow outcome without confusing API calls with packet contents. Scenario: An organization sees a sudden security group exposure but reviews only Flow Logs and cannot determine which IAM principal opened the inbound rule.

Authorized alert pipelines detect network control violations without duplicate noise or loss of crucial event evidence. That result supports CloudWatch log metric filters and cross-source alert correlation but does not establish the requested networking outcome here. Instead verify: Investigators identify both the network configuration actor and the observed flow outcome without confusing API calls with packet contents. Scenario: An organization sees a sudden security group exposure but reviews only Flow Logs and cannot determine which IAM principal opened the inbound rule.

Configure listener-to-target-group forwarding, suitable instance or IP targets, and application-specific health checks before routing production traffic. That approach addresses Load balancer target groups and health gating instead of the principal requirement here. A target group healthy result depends on its configured probe, not on the operator manually declaring the EC2 instance running. The better fit for this scenario is: Use Gateway Load Balancer with compatible GENEVE appliances and Gateway Load Balancer endpoints to scale transparent inline inspection. Scenario: Engineers configure a centralized inspection VPC yet forget the Gateway Load Balancer endpoint route for return traffic, causing stateful firewall sessions to fail.

Decide where TLS terminates and whether backend re-encryption is required, using appropriate ACM certificates and supported target protocols. That approach addresses TLS termination and backend encryption with load balancers instead of the principal requirement here. HTTPS from client to ALB does not imply traffic is automatically encrypted from ALB to every downstream target. The better fit for this scenario is: Use Gateway Load Balancer with compatible GENEVE appliances and Gateway Load Balancer endpoints to scale transparent inline inspection. Scenario: Engineers configure a centralized inspection VPC yet forget the Gateway Load Balancer endpoint route for return traffic, causing stateful firewall sessions to fail.

Put AWS WAF at supported CloudFront or Application Load Balancer entry points and select AWS Shield features appropriate to volumetric and application threats. That approach addresses AWS WAF and Shield edge placement instead of the principal requirement here. WAF inspects supported HTTP(S) requests; it does not become a layer-four firewall merely by associating with a load balancer. The better fit for this scenario is: Use Gateway Load Balancer with compatible GENEVE appliances and Gateway Load Balancer endpoints to scale transparent inline inspection. Scenario: Engineers configure a centralized inspection VPC yet forget the Gateway Load Balancer endpoint route for return traffic, causing stateful firewall sessions to fail.

This choice relates to Endpoint policies and least-privilege private egress, not the complementary response and evidence pair for the case. Prefer: Configure supported AWS Site-to-Site VPN encryption with IKE/IPsec parameters, approved customer-gateway algorithms and monitored tunnel state for hybrid traffic. Confirm with: Check negotiation proposals, key exchange and rekey, child SA status, tunnel packet counters and effective routes. Scenario: An engineer rotates tunnel pre-shared keys on one end only and the hybrid path drops during the next rekey.

Data-center clients can resolve the intended AWS private names while unrelated public resolvers still do not publish those records. That result supports Resolver inbound endpoint for AWS private zone access but does not establish the requested networking outcome here. Instead verify: Private applications remain reachable during a planned single-tunnel outage with an auditable failover timeline. Scenario: A branch firewall brings up the first AWS VPN tunnel but ignores the second and a maintenance event interrupts every private service.

A precisely scoped application exchange succeeds without pretending overlapping private routes can coexist unmodified in one TGW routing domain.
