A software company runs a workload on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). A SysOps administrator needs to define a custom health check for the EC2 instances.
What is the MOST operationally efficient solution?

  1. Set up each EC2 instance so that it writes its healthy/unhealthy status into a shared Amazon S3 bucket for the ALB to read.
  2. Configure the health check on the ALB and ensure that the Health Check Path setting is correct.
  3. Set up Amazon ElastiCache to track the EC2 instances as they scale in and out.
  4. Configure an Amazon API Gateway health check to ensure custom checks on all of the EC2 instances.

Answer(s): B



A SysOps administrator is optimizing the cost of a workload. The workload is running in multiple AWS Regions and is using AWS Lambda with Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances for the computer. The overall usage is predictable. The amount of computer that is consumed in each Region varies, depending on the users' locations.
Which approach should the SysOps administrator use to optimize this workload?

  1. Purchase Computer Savings Plans based on the usage during the past 30 days.
  2. Purchase Convertible Reserved Instances by calculating the usage baseline.
  3. Purchase EC2 Instance Savings Plans based on the usage during the past 30 days.
  4. Purchase Standard Reserved Instances by calculating the usage baseline.

Answer(s): A



Users are periodically experiencing slow response times from a relational database. The database runs on a burstable Amazon EC2 instance with a 350 GB General Purpose SSD (gp2) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. A SysOps administrator monitors the EC2 instance in Amazon CloudWatch and observes that the VolumeReadOps metric drops to less than 10% of its peak value during the periods of slow response.
What should the SysOps administrator do to ensure consistently high performance?

  1. Convert the gp2 volume to a General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volume.
  2. Convert the gp2 volume to a Cold HDD (sc1) EBS volume.
  3. Convert the EC2 instance to a memory optimized instance type.
  4. Activate unlimited mode on the EC2 instance.

Answer(s): D



A company maintains a large set of sensitive data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company's security team asks a SysOps administrator to help verify that all current objects in the S3 bucket are encrypted.
What is the MOST operationally efficient solution that meets these requirements?

  1. Create a script that runs against the S3 bucket and outputs the status of each object.
  2. Create an S3 Inventory configuration on the S3 bucket. Include the appropriate status fields.
  3. Provide the security team with an IAM user that has read access to the S3 bucket.
  4. Use the AWS CLI to output a list of all objects in the S3 bucket.

Answer(s): B



An errant process is known to use an entire processor and run at 100%. A SysOps administrator wants to automate restarting an Amazon EC2 instance when the problem occurs for more than 2 minutes.
How can this be accomplished?

  1. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for the EC2 instance with basic monitoring. Add an action to restart the instance.
  2. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for the EC2 instance with detailed monitoring. Add an action to restart the instance.
  3. Create an AWS Lambda function to restart the EC2 instance, invoked on a scheduled basis every 2 minutes.
  4. Create an AWS Lambda function to restart the EC2 instance, invoked by EC2 health checks.

Answer(s): B
