Question: 2 
   
A company has decided to scale its e-commerce application from its corporate datacenter to a 
commercial cloud provider to meet an anticipated increase in demand during an upcoming holiday. The 
majority of the application load takes place on the application server under normal conditions. For this 
reason, the company decides to deploy additional application servers into a commercial cloud provider 
using the on-premises orchestration engine that installs and configures common software and network 
configurations. The remote computing environment is connected to the on-premises datacenter via a 
site-to-site IPSec tunnel. The external DNS provider has been configured to use weighted round-robin 
routing to load balance connections from the Internet. 
During testing, the company discovers that only 20% of connections completed successfully. 
Review the network architecture and supporting documents and fulfill these requirements: 
Part1: 
1. Analyze the configuration of the following components: DNS, Firewall1, Firewall2, Router1, Rouler2, 
VPN and Orchestrator Server. 
2. Identify the problematic device(s).
