A rapidly growing e-commerce organization is migrating its on-premises infrastructure to AWS. The cloud architecture consists of several application virtual private clouds (VPCs)—catalog-vpc, payments-vpc, and logistics-vpc—each in a separate AWS account but within the same AWS Organizations.
The organization has defined the following critical requirements for the new environment:
- Centralized Security: All network traffic flowing between VPCs (east-west), out to the internet (outbound), and into the public-facing web application (inbound) must be inspected by a Palo Alto Networks NGFW solution.
- Scalable Connectivity: The network must be able to scale efficiently as more application VPCs are added. Direct VPC-to-VPC communication must be prevented; all inter-VPC traffic must route through the central security infrastructure.
- Hybrid Access: Remote employees and branch offices need secure access to applications across all VPCs.
- DevOps Integration: The DevOps team uses a CI/CD pipeline that frequently creates and destroys Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. Security policies must adapt to these changes automatically based on AWS tags without manual intervention.
- Unified Management: The security operations team requires a single management platform to maintain consistent policy across both the new AWS firewalls and existing on-premises PA-Series firewalls.
Given the requirement for scalable, centrally inspected inter-VPC communication, which two components are the core of the network topology? (Choose two.)
