coming from all of the Fastly IP address ranges into their Virtual Private Cloud network (VPC network). You are

a member of the HRL security team and you need to configure the update that will allow only the Fastly IP

address ranges through the External HTTP(S) load balancer. Which command should you use?

Options:

A.

Apply a Cloud Armor security policy to external load balancers using a named IP list for Fastly.

B.

Apply a Cloud Armor security policy to external load balancers using the IP addresses that Fastly has published. C. Apply a VPC firewall rule on port 443 for Fastly IP address ranges.
