5. Your instance is associated with two security groups. The first allows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access over port 3389 from Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block . The second allows HTTP access over port 80 from CIDR block . What traffic can reach your instance?

A. RDP and HTTP access from CIDR block
B. No traffic is allowed.
C. RDP and HTTP traffic from

Final answer:

The instance can accept RDP traffic over port 3389 from CIDR block A and HTTP traffic over port 80 from CIDR block B, each specified by their respective security groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to network traffic access to an instance (likely a virtual server) that is associated with two security groups. The first security group allows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access over port 3389 from a specified Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block. The second security group permits HTTP access over port 80, also from a specified CIDR block. Since the CIDR blocks are not specified in the question, let us assume them to be CIDR block A for RDP and CIDR block B for HTTP to provide a more specific answer.

Based on this information, the instance can receive RDP traffic over port 3389 from CIDR block A and HTTP traffic over port 80 from CIDR block B. If either security group specifies the CIDR block as 0.0.0.0/0, it would allow the respective type of traffic from any IP address.

Therefore, the traffic that can reach the instance is:

  • RDP traffic over port 3389 from CIDR block A
  • HTTP traffic over port 80 from CIDR block B
