Question #8

An Internet finance company has deployed its official website on Elastic Compute Service (ECS) based on Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). For security reasons, the company did not configure any public IP addresses for ECS when purchasing ECS instances.
In the meantime, the company deployed the official website on multiple ECS instances to guarantee the concurrency and performance of frontend access. To give users of this enterprise access to services on ECS over the Internet, which of the following methods are correct for establishing a cloud architecture?
(two correct answers)
Response:

A. Create a Server Load Balancer (SLB) instance on VPC, and add multiple ECS instances to the backend of the SLB instance. Then, users can send requests to the SLB instance, and the SLB instance will forward the requests to backend ECS instances for processing.

B. Create an SLB instance on VPC, add multiple ECS instances to the backend of the SLB instance, and bind an Elastic IP Address (EIP) to this SLB instance. Then, users can send requests to the EIP bound to the SLB instance, and the SLB instance will forward the requests to backend ECS instances for processing.

C. Create a Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway on VPC and configure destination NAT (DNAT) entries to map a public IP address to ECS instances on VPC, so that users can have access to ECS over the Internet.

D. Create a NAT gateway on VPC and configure source NAT (SNAT) entries to map a public IP address to ECS instances on VPC, so that users can have access to ECS over the Internet.
