Question 130
A multi-VPC security architecture must avoid broad public network exposure. The team confirms that two VPCs share the same CIDR and cannot use ordinary peering routes. Which next design step is best?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The scenario identifies this requirement: Two VPCs share the same CIDR and cannot use ordinary peering routes. Select Prefer PrivateLink for supported service-specific access or renumber CIDRs as the specified technical mechanism. Overlapping CIDRs prevent straightforward peering route resolution. This response addresses the problem described rather than a different design goal.
Incorrect Answers
The option Configure the correct Transit Gateway route-table association and propagation addresses a separate condition: a spoke VPC cannot reach another because the Transit Gateway attachment lacks route propagation. TGW route tables govern interattachment forwarding. The actual requirement is two VPCs share the same CIDR and cannot use ordinary peering routes. Recommended corrective action: Prefer PrivateLink for supported service-specific access or renumber CIDRs. Overlapping CIDRs prevent straightforward peering route resolution.
For the alternative failure a service producer wants consumers to reach one private service without full VPC routing, the control Publish the service through a PrivateLink endpoint service and Network Load Balancer is relevant: privateLink exposes selected services rather than routing entire VPC CIDRs. Here the evidence instead is two VPCs share the same CIDR and cannot use ordinary peering routes. The selected technical mechanism is Prefer PrivateLink for supported service-specific access or renumber CIDRs: overlapping CIDRs prevent straightforward peering route resolution.
Establish VPC peering and reciprocal routes for nonoverlapping CIDRs solves a different operational problem where two VPCs need direct, nontransitive private peering. VPC peering offers point-to-point routing without transitivity. It does not directly address two VPCs share the same CIDR and cannot use ordinary peering routes. The case calls for Prefer PrivateLink for supported service-specific access or renumber CIDRs, since overlapping CIDRs prevent straightforward peering route resolution.
