Exam 5 - Question 36 #207

kalel552 commented 4 months ago

Which of the following services can be used to monitor the HTTP and HTTPS requests that are forwarded to Amazon CloudFront?

A. AWS WAF.
B. Amazon CloudWatch.
C. AWS Cloud9.
D. AWS CloudTrail.

I know there was an issue opened before and you said the B is the correct answer, but looking up the definition of WAF, this comes up:

AWS WAF is a web application firewall that lets you monitor the HTTP(S) requests that are forwarded to your protected web application resources. You can protect the following resource types:

Amazon CloudFront distribution Amazon API Gateway REST API Application Load Balancer AWS AppSync GraphQL API Amazon Cognito user pool AWS App Runner service AWS Verified Access instance

I think the question emphasizes on monitoring HTTP and HTTPS requests that are forwarded to Amazon CloudFront, if it has said how can you secure (blocking or allowing), then the answer must be AWS WAF but here it's only asking about monitoring which makes the Amazon CloudWatch more suitable since it has various metrics and you can even set alarms.

I hope this answers your question.
