A company has turned on server access logging for all of its existing Amazon S3 buckets. The company wants to implement a solution to monitor the logging settings for new and existing S3 buckets. The solution must remediate any S3 buckets that do not have logging turned on.
What should a SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient way?

  1. Track the logging information by using AWS CloudTrail. Launch an AWS Lambda function for remediation.
  2. Configure automatic remediation in AWS Config by using the s3-bucket-logging-enabled rule.
  3. Configure AWS Trusted Advisor to monitor the logging configuration and to turn on access logging if necessary.
  4. Track the logging information by using Amazon CloudWatch metrics. Launch an AWS Lambda function for remediation.

Answer(s): B



A SysOps administrator is setting up a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group for an application. The fleet should have 50% CPU available at all times to accommodate bursts of traffic. The load will increase significantly between the hours of 09:00 and 17:00, 7 days a week.
How should the SysOps administrator configure the scaling of the EC2 instances to meet these requirements?

  1. Create a target tracking scaling policy that runs when the CPU utilization is higher than 90%.
  2. Create a target tracking scaling policy that runs when the CPU utilization is higher than 50%. Create a scheduled scaling policy that ensures that the fleet is available at 09:00. Create a second scheduled scaling policy that scales in the fleet at 17:00.
  3. Set the Auto Scaling group to start with 2 instances by setting the desired instances, maximum instances, and minimum instances to 2. Create a scheduled scaling policy that ensures that the fleet is available at 09:00.
  4. Create a scheduled scaling policy that ensures that the fleet is available at 09:00. Create a second scheduled scaling policy that scales in the fleet at 17:00.

Answer(s): B



A company recently deployed MySQL on an Amazon EC2 instance with a default boot volume. The company intends to restore a 1.75 TB database. A SysOps administrator needs to provision the correct Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. The database will require read performance of up to 10,000 IOPS and is not expected to grow in size.
Which solution will provide the required performance at the LOWEST cost?

  1. Deploy a 2 TB Cold HDD (sc1) volume.
  2. Deploy a 2 TB Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) volume.
  3. Deploy a 2 TB General Purpose SSD (gp3) volume. Set the IOPS to 10,000.
  4. Deploy a 2 TB Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) volume. Set the IOPS to 10,000.

Answer(s): C



A company recently moved its server infrastructure to Amazon EC2 instances. The company wants to use Amazon CloudWatch metrics to track instance memory utilization and available disk space.
What should a SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements?

  1. Configure CloudWatch from the AWS Management Console for all the instances that require monitoring by CloudWatch. AWS automatically installs and configures the agents for the specified instances.
  2. Install and configure the CloudWatch agent on all the instances. Attach an IAM role to allow the instances to write logs to CloudWatch.
  3. Install and configure the CloudWatch agent on all the instances. Attach an IAM user to allow the instances to write logs to CloudWatch.
  4. Install and configure the CloudWatch agent on all the instances. Attach the necessary security groups to allow the instances to write logs to CloudWatch.

Answer(s): B



A SysOps administrator needs to create alerts that are based on the read and write metrics of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are attached to an Amazon EC2 instance. The SysOps administrator creates and enables Amazon CloudWatch alarms for the DiskReadBytes metric and the DiskWriteBytes metric.
A custom monitoring tool that is installed on the EC2 instance with the same alarm configuration indicates that the volume metrics have exceeded the threshold. However, the CloudWatch alarms were not in ALARM state.
Which action will ensure that the CloudWatch alarms function correctly?

  1. Install and configure the CloudWatch agent on the EC2 instance to capture the desired metrics.
  2. Install and configure AWS Systems Manager Agent on the EC2 instance to capture the desired metrics.
  3. Reconfigure the CloudWatch alarms to use the VolumeReadBytes metric and the VolumeWriteBytes metric for the EBS volumes.
  4. Reconfigure the CloudWatch alarms to use the VolumeReadBytes metric and the VolumeWriteBytes metric for the EC2 instance.
