1. 1. A web tier in a public subnet must call an internal API on EC2 instances in a private subnet. Which design is most secure and cost-effective?
   1. Place both tiers in public subnets with security groups.
   2. Put the API in a private subnet and route through a NAT gateway.
   3. Put the API in a private subnet, expose it via an internal Application Load Balancer, restrict by security group to the web tier.
   4. Use a VPN connection between the two subnets.

   1. Amazon RDS
   2. Amazon DynamoDB with DAX
   3. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis
