Question

A company hosts a corporate website on Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB). The NLB has one TLS listener. The company wants to use AWS WAF to enhance security for the website. Which solution will meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Replace the NLB with an Application Load Balancer (ALB). Associate an AWS WAF web ACL with the ALB. An Application Load Balancer distributes HTTP/HTTPS traffic and supports path/host routing. A load balancer distributes traffic across targets in multiple AZs for availability and scale. AWS WAF protects web applications from common exploits and malicious requests.
