AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty | ANS-C01

The AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C01) certification is designed for individuals who want to validate their advanced skills and experience in networking on AWS. This certification focuses on designing, implementing, and managing complex networking architectures and solutions in the AWS Cloud. It is intended for professionals who have a deep understanding of AWS networking services and a strong background in network administration and architecture.

Exam Topics:

1. Network Design and Architecture:

   • Design scalable and highly available network architectures using AWS services such as VPC, Transit Gateway, and Direct Connect.

   • Implement complex networking topologies including hybrid cloud environments and multi-region deployments.

   • Understand and apply best practices for network segmentation, routing, and redundancy in AWS.

2. Advanced VPC Configuration:

   • Configure and manage advanced Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) features such as VPC peering, private and public subnets, and NAT gateways.

   • Implement VPC flow logs and network ACLs for monitoring and securing network traffic.

   • Use AWS PrivateLink and AWS Global Accelerator to enhance network connectivity and performance.

3. Hybrid Networking Solutions:

   • Implement hybrid cloud networking solutions using AWS Direct Connect, VPN, and AWS Transit Gateway.

   • Design and deploy secure and efficient connectivity between on-premises environments and AWS.

   • Understand how to integrate AWS networking services with existing on-premises infrastructure.

4. Network Security:

   • Implement security best practices for AWS networking using services like AWS Shield, AWS WAF, and AWS Security Hub.

   • Configure security groups, network ACLs, and IAM policies to protect network resources.

   • Understand encryption options for data in transit and at rest, including TLS and IPsec.

5. Routing and Traffic Management:

   • Configure and manage routing policies using Amazon Route 53, including latency-based routing, geo-routing, and failover routing.

   • Implement traffic management and load balancing using AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) and AWS Global Accelerator.

   • Use Amazon Route 53 Resolver for DNS resolution and traffic routing between VPCs and on-premises networks.

6. Monitoring and Troubleshooting:

   • Implement monitoring and logging for network performance and security using Amazon CloudWatch, VPC Flow Logs, and AWS X-Ray.

   • Troubleshoot network connectivity issues and optimize network performance using AWS Network Manager and AWS Trusted Advisor.

   • Analyze network metrics and logs to identify and resolve issues effectively.

7. Cost Management and Optimization:

   • Understand the cost implications of different networking solutions and services on AWS.

   • Implement cost optimization strategies for network traffic, data transfer, and AWS Direct Connect.

   • Use AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets to monitor and manage networking costs.

8. Compliance and Governance:

   • Implement network governance and compliance strategies using AWS Config, AWS Organizations, and Service Control Policies (SCPs).

   • Ensure network configurations adhere to organizational and regulatory requirements.

   • Apply best practices for network auditing, compliance checks, and governance.
