A company hosts a production database on an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) backed Amazon EC2 instance. As part of an annual disaster recovery exercise, the company needs to restore recent EBS snapshots to a new EC2 instance in a second Availability Zone.
After the snapshots are restored to EBS volumes, the resulting volumes must deliver all of their provisioned performance. The company must perform validation tests on the restored data as quickly as possible.
Which configuration will meet these requirements?

  1. Enable EBS fast snapshot restore (FSR) on the snapshots for the second Availability Zone. Create new EBS volumes in the second Availability Zone from the snapshots. Attach the new EBS volumes to a new EC2 instance.
  2. Enable EBS fast snapshot restore (FSR) on the snapshots for the current Availability Zone. Create new EBS volumes in the second Availability Zone from the snapshots, Attach the new EBS volumes to a new EC2 instance.
  3. Specify Provisioned IOPS on the snapshots, Create new EBS volumes in the second Availability Zone from the snapshots. Attach the new EBS volumes to a new EC2 instance.
  4. Specify Provisioned IOPS on the existing EBS volumes. Create the snapshots. After the snapshots are completed, create new EBS volumes in the second Availability Zone from the snapshots. Attach the new EBS volumes to a new EC2 instance.

Answer(s): A



An application team uses an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster with one Aurora Replica. The application team notices that the application read performance degrades when user connections exceed 200. The number of user connections is typically consistent around 180, with occasional sudden increases above 200 connections. The application team wants the application to automatically scale as user demand increases or decreases.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Migrate to a new Aurora multi-master DB cluster. Modify the application database connection string.
  2. Modify the DB cluster by changing to serverless mode whenever user connections exceed 200.
  3. Create an auto scaling policy with a target metric of 195 DatabaseConnections.
  4. Modify the DB cluster by increasing the Aurora Replica instance size.

Answer(s): C



A SysOps administrator needs to implement a backup strategy for Amazon EC2 resources and Amazon RDS resources. The backup strategy must meet the following retention requirements:
• Daily backups: must be kept for 6 days
• Weekly backups: must be kept for 4 weeks:
• Monthly backups: must be kept for 11 months
• Yearly backups: must be kept for 7 years
Which backup strategy will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative effort?

  1. Use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to create an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshot policy. Create tags on each resource that needs to be backed up. Create multiple schedules according to the requirements within the policy. Set the appropriate frequency and retention period.
  2. Use AWS Backup to create a new backup plan for each retention requirement with a backup frequency of daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Set the retention period to match the requirement. Create tags on each resource that needs to be backed up. Set up resource assignment by using the tags.
  3. Create an AWS Lambda function. Program the Lambda function to use native tooling to take backups of file systems in Amazon EC2 and to make copies of databases in Amazon RDS. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke the Lambda function.
  4. Use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to create an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshot policy. Create tags on each resource that needs to be backed up. Set up resource assignment by using the tags. Create multiple schedules according to the requirements within the policy. Set the appropriate frequency and retention period. In Amazon RDS, activate automated backups on the required DB instances.

Answer(s): B



A SysOps administrator launches an Amazon EC2 instance in a private subnet of a VPC. When the SysOps administrator attempts a curl command from the command line of the EC2 instance, the SysOps administrator cannot connect to https:www.example.com.
What should the SysOps administrator do to resolve this issue?

  1. Ensure that there is an outbound security group for port 443 to 0.0.0.0/0.
  2. Ensure that there is an inbound security group for port 443 from 0.0.0.0/0.
  3. Ensure that there is an outbound network ACL for ephemeral ports 1024-66535 to 0.0.0.0/0.
  4. Ensure that there is an outbound network ACL for port 80 to 0.0.0.0/0.

Answer(s): A



A company is experiencing issues with legacy software running on Amazon EC2 instances. Errors occur when the total CPU utilization on the EC2 instances exceeds 80%. A short-term solution is required while the software is being rewritten. A SysOps administrator is tasked with creating a solution to restart the instances when the CPU utilization rises above 80%.
Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

  1. Write a script that monitors the CPU utilization of the EC2 instances and reboots the instances when utilization exceeds 80%. Run the script as a cron job.
  2. Add an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for CPU utilization and configure the alarm action to reboot the EC2 instances.
  3. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule using the predefined patterns for CPU utilization of the EC2 instances. When utilization exceeds 80%, invoke an AWS Lambda function to restart the instances.
  4. Add an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for CPU utilization and configure an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook to reboot the EC2 instances when utilization exceeds 80%.
