Question 720
An AWS network engineer must address this specific condition: An EC2 web server in a public subnet cannot receive HTTPS because its security group allows only outbound TCP 443. Which implementation or operational change BEST meets the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Outbound permission does not initiate an inbound web listener connection through stateful SG evaluation. Confirm the change by checking that approved clients establish HTTPS connections while other inbound ports stay blocked.
Incorrect Answers
A successful inbound rule does not automatically authorize reply packets under a stateless ACL. It does not directly achieve the required result: approved clients establish HTTPS connections while other inbound ports stay blocked. The constraint is that outbound permission does not initiate an inbound web listener connection through stateful SG evaluation.
Security groups lack explicit deny rules while NACL rule-order processing can enforce a scoped subnet deny. It does not directly achieve the required result: approved clients establish HTTPS connections while other inbound ports stay blocked. The constraint is that outbound permission does not initiate an inbound web listener connection through stateful SG evaluation.
Endpoint private addressing does not automatically enforce least-privilege client access. In this situation, outbound permission does not initiate an inbound web listener connection through stateful SG evaluation. The proposed change does not ensure approved clients establish HTTPS connections while other inbound ports stay blocked.
