VPC Flow Logs
VPC Flow Logs capture metadata about IP traffic to and from network interfaces in a VPC. ANS-C01 covers them, with Reachability Analyzer and CloudWatch, for monitoring and troubleshooting network connectivity.

AWS Network Firewall is a managed, stateful network firewall and intrusion-prevention service for VPCs.
VPC Flow Logs
VPC Flow Logs capture metadata about IP traffic to and from network interfaces in a VPC.
Reachability Analyzer
VPC Reachability Analyzer is a tool that tests and diagnoses network connectivity between resources by analyzing the network path without sending traffic.
AWS Global Accelerator
AWS Global Accelerator is a networking service that routes user traffic over the AWS global network to the optimal endpoint using anycast static IPs.
CloudFront
Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network that caches content at edge locations to reduce latency and offload origins.
