10. A company has expanded its network to the AWS Cloud by using a hybrid
architecture with multiple AWS accounts. The company has set up a shared AWS
account for the connection to its on-premises data centers and the company
offices. The workloads consist of private web-based services for internal use. These
services run in different AWS accounts. Office-based employees consume these
services by using a DNS name in an on-premises DNS zone that is named
example.internal. The process to register a new service that runs on AWS requires
a manual and complicated change request to the internal DNS. The process
involves many teams. The company wants to update the DNS registration process
by giving the service creators access that will allow them to register their DNS
records. A network engineer must design a solution that will achieve this goal. The
solution must maximize cost-effectiveness and must require the least possible
number of configuration changes. Which combination of steps should the network
engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

14. A company uses a 4 Gbps AWS Direct Connect dedicated connection with a link
aggregation group (LAG) bundle to connect to five VPCs that are deployed in the
us-east-1 Region. Each VPC serves a different business unit and uses its own
private VIF for connectivity to the on-premises environment. Users are reporting
slowness when they access resources that are hosted on AWS. A network engineer
finds that there are sudden increases in throughput and that the Direct Connect
connection becomes saturated at the same time for about an hour each business
day. The company wants to know which business unit is causing the sudden
increase in throughput. The network engineer must find out this information and
implement a solution to resolve the problem. Which solution will meet these
