    Reference: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/Storage.html

  3. Question 3

    An organization finds that a high number of gp2 Amazon EBS volumes are running out of space.

    Which solution will provide the LEAST disruption with MINIMAL effort?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    A--Reference: https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/features/

  4. Question 4

    A user is using the AWS EC2. The user wants to make so that when there is an issue in the EC2 server, such as instance status failed, it should start a new instance in the user’s private cloud.

    Which AWS service helps to achieve this automation?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    A--Explanation:
    Amazon SNS can deliver notifications by SMS text message or email to the Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues or to any HTTP endpoint. The user can configure a web service (HTTP End point) in his data center which receives data and launches an instance in the private cloud. The user should configure the CloudWatch alarm to send a notification to SNS when the “StatusCheckFailed” metric is true for the EC2 instance. The SNS topic can be configured to send a notification to the user’s HTTP endpoint which launches an instance in the private cloud.

  5. Question 5

    An organization has created 50 1AM users.

    The organization has introduced a new policy which will change the access of an 1AM user. How can the organization implement this effectively so that there is no need to apply the policy at the individual user level?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    C--Explanation:
    With AWS 1AM, a group is a collection of 1AM users. A group allows the user to specify permissions for a collection of users, which can make it easier to manage the permissions for those users. A group helps an organization manage access in a better way; instead of applying at the individual level, the organization can apply at the group level which is applicable to all the users who are a part of that group.

  6. Question 6

    An application running on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones was deployed using an AWS CloudFormation template. The SysOps team has patched the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) version and must update all the EC2 instances to use the new AMI.

    How can the SysOps Administrator use CloudFormation to apply the new AMI while maintaining a minimum level of active instances to ensure service continuity?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    C

  7. Question 7

    A user had aggregated the CloudWatch metric data on the AMI ID. The user observed some abnormal behavior of the CPU utilization metric while viewing the last 2 weeks of data. The user wants to share that data with his manager.

    How can the user achieve this easily with the AWS console?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    C--Explanation:
    Amazon CloudWatch provides the functionality to graph the metric data generated either by the AWS services or the custom metric to make it easier for the user to analyze. The console provides the option to save the URL or bookmark it so that it can be used in the future by typing the same URL. The Copy URL functionality is available under the console when the user selects any metric to view.

  8. Question 8

    A SysOps Administrator is managing an AWS account where Developers are authorized to launch Amazon EC2 instances to test new code. To limit costs, the Administrator must ensure that the EC2 instances in the account are terminated 24 hours after launch.

    How should the Administrator meet these requirements?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    B

  9. Question 9

    A user is aware that a huge download is occurring on his instance. He has already set the Auto Scaling policy to increase the instance count when the network I/O increases beyond a certain limit.

    How can the user ensure that this temporary event does not result in scaling?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    A--Explanation:
    The user may want to stop the automated scaling processes on the Auto Scaling groups either to perform manual operations or during emergency situations. To perform this, the user can suspend one or more scaling processes at any time. Once it is completed, the user can resume all the suspended processes.--

  10. Question 10

    A user has created a VPC with CIDR 20.0.0.0/16 using the wizard. The user has created a public subnet CIDR (20.0.0.0/24. and VPN only subnets CIDR (20.0.1.0/24. along with the VPN gateway (vgw-12345. to connect to the user’s data center.

    Which of the below mentioned options is a valid entry for the main route table in this scenario?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    C--Explanation:
    The main route table came with the VPC, and it also has a route for the VPN-only subnet. A custom route table is associated with the public subnet. The custom route table has a route over the Internet gateway (the destination is 0.0.0.0/0, and the target is the Internet gateway).
    If you create a new subnet in this VPC, it’s automatically associated with the main route table, which routes its traffic to the virtual private gateway. If you were to set up the reverse configuration (the main route table with the route to the Internet gateway, and the custom route table with the route to the virtual private gateway), then a new subnet automatically has a route to the Internet gateway.--
