Question # 2

A company has a policy that requires all Amazon EC2 instances to have a specific set of tags. If an EC2 instance does not have the required tags, the noncompliant instance should be terminated. What is the MOST operationally efficient solution that meets these requirements? 

A. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule to send all EC2instance state changes to an AWS Lambda function to determine if each instance iscompliant. Terminate any noncompliant instances.
B. Create an IAM policy that enforces all EC2 instance tag requirements. If the requiredtags are not in place for an instance, the policy will terminate noncompliant instance.
C. Create an AWS Lambda function to determine if each EC2 instance is compliant andterminate an instance if it is noncompliant. Schedule the Lambda function to invoke every 5minutes.
D. Create an AWS Config rule to check if the required tags are present. If an EC2 instanceis noncompliant, invoke an AWS Systems Manager Automation document to terminate theinstance.

Question # 3

A company has a compliance requirement that no security groups can allow SSH ports to be open to all IP addresses. A SysOps administrator must implement a solution that will notify the company's SysOps team when a security group rule violates this requirement. The solution also must remediate the security group rule automatically. Which solution will meet these requirements? 
 

A. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule that invokes anAWS Lambda function when a security group changes. Configure the Lambda function toevaluate the security group for compliance, remove all inbound security group rules on allports, and notify the SysOps team if the security group is noncompliant.
B. Create an AWS CloudTrail metric filter for security group changes. Create an AmazonCloudWatch alarm to notify the SysOps team through an Amazon Simple NotificationService (Amazon SNS) topic when (he metric is greater than 0. Subscribe an AWS Lambdafunction to the SNS topic to remediate the security group rule by removing the rule.
C. Activate the AWS Config restricted-ssh managed rule. Add automatic remediation to theAWS Config rule by using the AWS Systems Manager Automation AWSDisablePublicAccessForSecurityGroup runbook. Create an Amazon EventBridge (AmazonCloudWatch Events) rule to notify the SysOps team when the rule is noncompliant.
D. Create an AWS CloudTrail metric filter for security group changes. Create an AmazonCloudWatch alarm for when the metric is greater than 0. Add an AWS Systems Manageraction to the CloudWatch alarm to suspend the security group by using the SystemsManager Automation AWS-DisablePublicAccessForSecurityGroup runbook when the alarmis in ALARM state. Add an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic as asecond target to notify the SysOps team.

Question # 6

A company has an application that customers use to search for records on a website. The application's data is stored in an Amazon Aurora DB cluster. The application's usage varies by season and by day of the week. The website's popularity is increasing, and the website is experiencing slower performance because of increased load on the DB cluster during periods of peak activity. The application logs show that the performance issues occur when users are searching for information. The same search is rarely performed multiple times. A SysOps administrator must improve the performance of the platform by using a solution that maximizes resource efficiency. Which solution will meet these requirements? 
 

A. Deploy an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster in front of the DB cluster. Modify theapplication to check the cache before the application issues new queries to the database.Add the results of any queries to the cache.
B. Deploy an Aurora Replica for the DB cluster. Modify the application to use the readerendpoint for search operations. Use Aurora Auto Scaling to scale the number of replicasbased on load. Most Voted
C. Use Provisioned IOPS on the storage volumes that support the DB cluster to improveperformance sufficiently to support the peak load on the application.
D. Increase the instance size in the DB cluster to a size that is sufficient to support the peak load on the application. Use Aurora Auto Scaling to scale the instance size based on load.

Question # 7

A company’s reporting job that used to run in 15 minutes is now taking an hour to run. An application generates the reports. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances and extracts data from an Amazon RDS for MySQL database.
A SysOps administrator checks the Amazon CloudWatch dashboard for the RDS instance and notices that the Read IOPS metrics are high, even when the reports are not running. The SysOps administrator needs to improve the performance and the availability of the RDS instance. Which solution will meet these requirements?  
 

A. Configure an Amazon ElastiCache cluster in front of the RDS instance. Update thereporting job to query the ElastiCache cluster.
B. Deploy an RDS read replica. Update the reporting job to query the reader endpoint.
C. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Set the RDS instance as the origin. Updatethe reporting job to query the CloudFront distribution.
D. Increase the size of the RDS instance.

Question # 10

A company is implementing a monitoring solution that is based on machine learning. The monitoring solution consumes Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) events that are generated by Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling. The monitoring solution provides detection of anomalous behavior such as unanticipated scaling events and is configured as an EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) API destination. During initial testing, the company discovers that the monitoring solution is not receiving events. However, Amazon CloudWatch is showing that the EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) rule is being invoked. A SysOps administrator must implement a solution to retrieve client error details to help resolve this issue.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational effort? 
 

A. Create an EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) archive for the event pattern to replay theevents. Increase the logging on the monitoring solution. Use replay to invoke themonitoring solution. Examine the error details.
B. Add an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) standard queue as a dead-letterqueue for the target. Process the messages in the dead-letter queue to retrieve errordetails.
C. Create a second EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) rule for the same event pattern totarget an AWS Lambda function. Configure the Lambda function to invoke the monitoringsolution and to record the results to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Examine the errors in thelogs.
D. Configure the EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) rule to send error messages to anAmazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.
