Question 13 VPC

Question 13: VPC

A company wants its EC2 instances in a private subnet to access Amazon S3 without the traffic traversing the public internet or requiring a NAT gateway. Which solution should be implemented?

A read-heavy application experiences slow response times because the relational database is overwhelmed by repeated identical queries. Which solution most directly reduces this database load?

Question 17 Migration
