Confirming to delete all the resources in Terraform will have the following impact:

D. It destroys all the resources in the state file.

Terraform State File Role: The terraform.tfstate file contains a real-time mapping of the resources

that Terraform manages, including their current configuration and relationships. This file tracks the

actual state of resources provisioned by Terraform.

Impact of Destruction: When Terraform prompts for confirmation to destroy resources, and 'yes' is

entered, Terraform reads the state file and systematically removes all the resources that are

managed as part of that state. This is not limited to a specific .tfvars file, IAM user, or resource

group—it is a global action that affects all resources tracked by the state file associated with the

current Terraform workspace and configuration.

Reference: The function of the terraform.tfstate file and the impact of resource destruction are

detailed in Terraform's official documentation. This behavior is fundamental to how Terraform

manages infrastructure as code.

The correct answer is C and D. FortiGate NGFW can inspect north-south container traffic with label

aware policies and FortiGate NGFW and FortiSandbox can be used to secure container traffic.

According to the Fortinet documentation for container security1, FortiGate NGFW can provide the

following benefits for securing container infrastructure:

It can inspect north-south traffic between containers and external networks using label aware

policies, which allow for dynamic policy enforcement based on Kubernetes labels and metadata.

It can integrate with FortiSandbox to provide advanced threat protection for container traffic, by

sending suspicious files or URLs to a cloud-based sandbox for analysis and detection.

It can leverage FortiGuard Security Services to provide real-time threat intelligence and updates for

container traffic, such as antivirus, web filtering, IPS, and application control.

The other options are incorrect because:

FortiGate NGFW cannot be placed between each application container for north-south traffic

inspection, as this would create unnecessary complexity and overhead. Instead, FortiGate NGFW can

be deployed at the edge of the container network or as a sidecar proxy to inspect traffic at the

ingress and egress points.

FortiGate NGFW cannot connect to the worker node and protect the container, as this would not

provide sufficient visibility and control over the container traffic. Instead, FortiGate NGFW can

leverage the native Kubernetes APIs and services to monitor and secure the container traffic.

The error message indicates that the Connect attachment is already associated with another transit

gateway route table. You cannot associate the same attachment with more than one route table.

However, you can propagate the same attachment to multiple route tables. Therefore, to fulfill your

requirement of configuring a second route table for east-west traffic inspection between two VPCs,

you need to create a propagation with the Connect attachment in the second route table. This will

allow the second route table to learn the routes from the Connect attachment and forward the traffic

to the security VPC1. You also need to associate the second route table with the Transport

attachment, which is the transit gateway attachment for the security VPC1.

When deploying resources in multiple places and regions in the public cloud using Terraform, the

most efficient way is:

A . Use multiple terraform.tfvars files with a variables.tf file.

Terraform.tfvars File: This file is used to assign values to variables defined in your Terraform

configuration. By having multiple .tfvars files, you can define different sets of values for different

deployments, such as for different regions or environments, without changing the main

configuration.

Variables.tf File: This file contains the definition of variables that will be used within your Terraform

configuration. It works in conjunction with terraform.tfvars files, allowing you to parameterize your

configuration so that you can deploy the same template in multiple environments with different

variables.

Reference: This method is outlined in Terraform's official documentation and is a best practice for

reusing code for different environments in infrastructure as code (IaC) deployments.

Terraform manages and tracks the state of infrastructure resources through a file known as

terraform.tfstate. This file is automatically created by Terraform and is updated after the application

of a Terraform plan to capture the current state of the resources.

State File Purpose: The terraform.tfstate file contains a JSON object that records the IDs and

properties of resources Terraform manages, so that it can map real-world resources to your

configuration, keep track of metadata, and improve performance for large infrastructures.

State File Management: This file is crucial for Terraform to perform resource updates, deletions, and

for creating dependencies. It's essentially the 'source of truth' for Terraform about your managed

infrastructure and services.

Reference: This behavior is documented in Terraform's official documentation, which explains how

the terraform.tfstate file is used to keep track of the infrastructure Terraform is managing.

The correct answer is C. Use FortiWebCloud.

FortiWebCloud is a SaaS cloud-based web application firewall (WAF) that protects public cloud

hosted web applications from the OWASP Top 10, zero day threats, and other application layer

attacks1. FortiWebCloud also includes robust features such as API discovery and protection, bot

mitigation, threat analytics, and advanced reporting2. FortiWebCloud supports multiple regions

across the world, and you can choose the region that is closest to your applications to minimize

traffic cost3.

The other options are incorrect because:

FortiADC is an application delivery controller that provides load balancing, acceleration, and security

for web applications. It is not a dedicated WAF solution and does not offer the same level of

protection as FortiWebCloud4.

FortiCNP is a cloud-native platform that provides security and visibility for containerized applications.

It is not a WAF solution and does not protect web applications from the OWASP Top 10

vulnerabilities5.

FortiGate is a next-generation firewall (NGFW) that provides network security and threat prevention.

It is not a WAF solution and does not offer the same level of protection as FortiWebCloud for web

applications. It also requires additional configuration and management to deploy in the public

cloud6.

A . All the output values are available after a successful terraform apply command. This means that

after the deployment, you can view the output values by running terraform output or terraform

show in the same directory where you ran terraform apply1. You can also use the output values in

other Terraform configurations or external systems by using the terraform output command with

various options2. B. The subnet_private_1 value is defined in the variables.tf file. This means that the

subnet_private_1 value is an input variable that can be customized by passing a different value when

running terraform apply or by setting an environment variable3. The variables.tf file is where you

declare all the input variables for your Terraform configuration4.

The other options are incorrect because:

After the deployment, Terraform output values are not visible only through AWS CloudShell. You can

access them from any shell or terminal where you have Terraform installed and configured with your

AWS credentials.

You do not need to specify all the AWS credentials in the output.tf file. The output.tf file is where you

declare all the output values for your Terraform configuration4. You can specify your AWS credentials

in a separate file, such as provider.tf, or use environment variables or shared credentials

files. Reference:

A VPC attachment is the type of attachment that allows you to connect a VPC to a TGW and advertise

routes through BGP. A VPC attachment creates a VPN connection between the VPC and the TGW, and

enables dynamic routing with BGP. A connect attachment is used to connect a VPN or Direct Connect

gateway to a TGW. A route attachment is not a valid type of attachment for TGW. A GRE attachment

is used to connect a FortiGate device to a TGW using GRE tunnels. Reference:

FortiGate Public Cloud 7.2.0 - Fortinet Documentation

Updating the route table and adding an IAM policy

Ansible connects to FortiGate using an API, which is a method of communication between different

software components. Ansible uses the fortios_* modules to interact with the FortiOS API, which is a

RESTful API that allows configuration and monitoring of FortiGate devices12. Ansible can use either

HTTP or HTTPS as the transport protocol, and can authenticate with either a username and password

or an API token3.

The other options are incorrect because:

Ansible does not use TCP port 21 to connect to FortiGate. Port 21 is typically used for FTP, which is

not supported by FortiOS4.

Ansible does not use SSH as a connection method to FortiOS. SSH is a secure shell protocol that

allows remote command execution and file transfer, but it is not the preferred way of automating

configuration changes on FortiGate devices.

Ansible does not use YAML to connect to FortiGate. YAML is a data serialization language that Ansible

uses to write playbooks and inventory files, but it is not a connection method. Reference:

Considering the situation where the administrator is unable to access the FortiGate VM using its

public IP address and no traffic is reaching the FortiGate's external interface, the administrator

should check:

D. Check the inbound network security group rules.

Network Security Group Rules: AWS uses security groups as a virtual firewall that controls inbound

and outbound traffic to AWS resources such as EC2 instances. If the FortiGate VM’s public interface is

not receiving HTTPS or SSH traffic, it's likely because the inbound security group rules associated with

that interface are not allowing access on the necessary ports (HTTPS - port 443, SSH - port 22).

Troubleshooting: The administrator should verify that the security group rules for the FortiGate VM’s

network interface allow inbound traffic on the specific ports used for management access. If these

rules are absent or misconfigured, the intended traffic will be blocked, resulting in the inability to

connect.

Reference: The role of security groups in network traffic management is a core concept in AWS and is

outlined in AWS documentation. Checking security group rules is a standard troubleshooting step

when dealing with connectivity issues to AWS resources.
