VPC Flow Logs are a feature provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that captures information about IP traffic flowing in and out of network interfaces in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
The information captured by VPC Flow Logs includes the following items:
A. Source Address: The IP address of the device that initiated the connection. B. Destination Address: The IP address of the device that received the connection. C. Destination Port: The port number that the connection was made to. D. Protocol: The protocol used for the connection (TCP, UDP, etc.). E. Packets: The number of packets sent and received in the connection. F. Bytes: The number of bytes sent and received in the connection. G. Start Time: The time that the connection was initiated. H. End Time: The time that the connection was terminated.
Out of the given options, the item that is not captured by VPC Flow Logs is D. Frames. VPC Flow Logs capture IP traffic, which operates at the network layer of the OSI model, while Frames operate at the data link layer. Therefore, Frames are not captured by VPC Flow Logs.
In summary, VPC Flow Logs capture information about IP traffic flowing in and out of network interfaces in a VPC, including source address, destination address, destination port, protocol, packets, bytes, start time, and end time. Frames, on the other hand, are not captured by VPC Flow Logs since they operate at a lower layer of the OSI model.
