A company has several business units that want to use Amazon EC2. The company wants to require all business units to provision their EC2 instances by using only approved EC2 instance configurations.
What should a SysOps administrator do to implement this requirement?

  1. Create an EC2 instance launch configuration. Allow the business units to launch EC2 instances by specifying this launch configuration in the AWS Management Console.
  2. Develop an IAM policy that limits the business units to provision EC2 instances only. Instruct the business units to launch instances by using an AWS CloudFormation template.
  3. Publish a product and launch constraint role for EC2 instances by using AWS Service Catalog. Allow the business units to perform actions in AWS Service Catalog only.
  4. Share an AWS CloudFormation template with the business units. Instruct the business units to pass a role to AWS CloudFormation to allow the service to manage EC2 instances.

Answer(s): C



A SysOps administrator manages an AWS account where developers run CPU-intensive tasks on Amazon EC2 instances. The tasks can take several days to finish running and sometimes need to be repeated several times. The developers often forget to terminate the instances when the tasks are complete.
The SysOps administrator needs to implement a solution to monitor EC2 CPU utilization and automatically terminate underutilized instances.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Configure an Amazon GuardDuty finding that is based on EC2 CPU utilization. Associate an AWS Lambda function with the GuardDuty finding to terminate any instances that are identified as idle.
  2. Configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to receive EC2 utilization messages from the AWS Health Dashboard. Create an AWS Lambda function. Subscribe the Lambda function to the SNS topic. Use the ec2.stop_instances operation to terminate idle instances.
  3. Configure a Low Utilization Amazon EC2 Instances check in AWS Trusted Advisor to publish status changes to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Create an AWS Lambda function. Subscribe the Lambda function to the SNS topic. Use the ec2.stop_instances operation to terminate idle instances.
  4. Configure an Amazon EventBridge rule for the Low Utilization Amazon EC2 Instances check in AWS Trusted Advisor. Select the EC2 Terminatelnstances API call as the target.

Answer(s): D



A company’s architecture team must receive immediate email notification whenever new Amazon EC2 instances are launched in the company's main AWS production account.
‘What should a SysOps administrator do to meet this requirement?

  1. Create a user data script that sends an email message through a smart host connector. Include the architecture team's email address in the user data script as the recipient. Ensure that all new EC2 instances include the user data script as part of a standardized build process.
  2. Create an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic and a subscription that uses the email protocol. Enter the architecture team's email address as the subscriber. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that reacts when EC2 instances are launched. Specify the SNS topic as the rule's target.
  3. Create an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue and a subscription that uses the email protocol. Enter the architecture team's email address as the subscriber. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that reacts when EC2 instances are launched. Specify the SQS queue as the rule's target.
  4. Create an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Configure AWS Systems Manager to publish EC2 events to the SNS topic. Create an AWS Lambda function to poll the SNS topic. Configure the Lambda function to send any messages to the architecture team's email address.

Answer(s): B



A company has a core application that must run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The application uses Amazon EC2. AWS Fargate, and AWS Lambda. The company uses a combination of operating systems across different AWS Regions.
The company needs to maximize cost savings while committing to a pricing model that offers flexibility to make changes.
What should the company do to meet these requirements?

  1. Purchase a Compute Savings Plan that is based on Savings Plans recommendations
  2. Purchase an EC2 Instance Savings Plan that covers the EC2 instance types and the Fargate and Lambda vCPU equivalents.
  3. Purchase a Reserved Instance for the instance types, operating systems, Region, and tenancy,
  4. Use EC2 Spot Instances that match the type and size of existing instances that run in each Region.

Answer(s): A



A company runs multiple workloads across an organization in AWS Organizations. The company's finance team needs detailed dashboards to track cost changes and provide detailed cost metrics. The finance team needs to track trends as granular as every hour.
What should a SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient way?

  1. Generate Amazon CloudWatch dashboards by using CloudWatch insights and AWS Cost Explorer data.
  2. Generate an AWS Cost and Usage Report. Store the report in Amazon S3. Use Amazon Athena to query the data. Use Amazon QuickSight to develop dashbosrds based on the data in the AWS Cost and Usage Report.
  3. Create an AWS Lambda function that runs once a day and assumes a role in every account in the organization. Configure the Lambda function to read AWS Cost Explorer data in each account and to store the cost data in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use Amazon Athena to query the data. Use Amazon QuickSight to display the data in dashboards.
  4. Create an IAM user for the finance team. Grant permissions to the IAM user to view AWS Cost Explorer data and billing data in the management account.
