What is the purpose of "VPC Flow Logs", and what information do they capture?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) VPC Flow Logs capture metadata about IP traffic to/from network interfaces (source/destination IPs, ports, protocol, packet/byte counts, accept/reject status), useful for security analysis and troubleshooting — but don't capture packet payload/content
Correct Answer
VPC Flow Logs capture metadata about IP traffic to/from network interfaces (source/destination IPs, ports, protocol, packet/byte counts, accept/reject status), useful for security analysis and troubleshooting — but don't capture packet payload/content
Flow Logs record connection metadata (the "who, what, when" of traffic) for analysis and troubleshooting, but since they don't capture payload data, they aren't a substitute for deep packet inspection or real-time blocking tools.
