A SysOps administrator launches an Amazon EC2 Linux instance in a public subnet. When the instance is running, the SysOps administrator obtains the public IP address and attempts to remotely connect to the Instance multiple times. However, the SysOps administrator always receives a timeout error.
Which action will allow the SysOps administrator to remotely connect to the instance?

  1. Add a route table entry in the public subnet for the SysOps administrator's IP address.
  2. Add an outbound network ACL rule to allow TCP port 22 for the SysOps administrator's IP address.
  3. Modify the instance security group to allow inbound SSH traffic from the SysOps administrator's IP address.
  4. Modify the instance security group to allow outbound SSH traffic to the SysOps administrator's IP address.

A company hosts an internet web application on Amazon EC2 instances. The company is replacing the application with a new AWS Lambda function. During a transition period, the company must route some traffic to the legacy application and some traffic to the new Lambda function. The company needs to use the URL path of request to determine the routing.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Configure a Gateway Load Balancer to use the URL path to direct traffic to the legacy application and the new Lambda function.
  2. Configure a Network Load Balancer to use the URL path to direct traffic to the legacy application and the new Lambda function.
  3. Configure a Network Load Balancer to use a regular expression to match the URL path to direct traffic to the new Lambda function.
  4. Configure an Application Load Balancer to use the URL path to direct traffic to the legacy application and the new Lambda function.

Answer(s): D



A company has a secure website running on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). An SSL certificate from AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) is used on the ALB. Users with legacy web browsers are experiencing issues with the website.
How should the SysOps administrator resolve these issues in the MOST operationally efficient manner?

  1. Create a new SSL certificate in ACM and install the new certificate on the ALB to support legacy web browsers.
  2. Create a second ALB and install a custom SSL certificate with a different domain name on the second ALB to support legacy web browsers.
  3. Remove the ALB from the configuration and install a custom SSL certificate on each web server.
  4. Update the SSL negotiation configuration of the ALB with a security policy that contains ciphers for legacy web browsers.

Answer(s): D



ASysOps administrator configures an application to run on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in a simple scaling Auto Scaling group with the default settings. The Auto Scaling group is configured to use the RequestCountPerTarget metric for scaling. The SysOps administrator notices that the RequestCountPerTarget metric exceeded the specified limit twice in 180 seconds.
How will the number of EC2 instances in this Auto Scaling group be affected in this scenario?

  1. The Auto Scaling group will launch an additional EC2 instance every time the RequestCountPerTarget metric exceeds the predefined limit.
  2. The Auto Scaling group will launch one EC2 instance and will wait for the default cooldown period before launching another instance.
  3. The Auto Scaling group will send an alert to the ALB to rebalance the traffic and not add new EC2 instances until the load is normalized.
  4. The Auto Scaling group will try to distribute the traffic among all EC2 instances before launching another instance.
