A company runs a workload on an Amazon EC2 instance. The workload needs a temporary cache that contains data that changes frequently. The workload does not need to retain the cache across instance restarts.
Which storage option will provide the HIGHEST performance for the cache?

  1. General Purpose SSD (gp3) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume
  2. Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume
  3. Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume
  4. EC2 instance store

Answer(s): D



A company has a policy that all Amazon EC2 instance logs must be published to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. A SysOps administrator is troubleshooting an EC2 instance that is running Amazon Linux 2. The EC2 instance is not publishing logs to CloudWatch Logs. The Amazon CloudWatch agent is running on the EC2 instance, and the agent configuration file is correct.
What should the SysOps administrator do to resolve the issue?

  1. Configure the AWS CLI on the EC2 instance. Create a cron job that calls the PutLogEvents API operation to push the log files to CloudWatch every 5 minutes.
  2. Inspect the retention period of the CloudWatch Logs log group. Ensure that the retention period is set to a value that is greater than 1 day.
  3. Set up an Amazon Kinesis data stream that is running in the same AWS Region as the EC2 instance. Configure the CloudWatch agent on the EC2 instance to send CloudWatch events to the data stream.
  4. Ensure that the IAM role that is attached to the EC2 instance has permissions in CloudWatch Logs for the CreateLogGroup, CreateLogStream, PutLogEvents, and DescribeLogStreams actions.

Answer(s): D



A SysOps administrator must analyze Amazon CloudWatch logs across 10 AWS Lambda functions for historical errors. The logs are in JSON format and are stored in Amazon S3. Errors sometimes do not appear in the same field, but all errors begin with the same string prefix.
What is the MOST operationally efficient way for the SysOps administrator to analyze the log files?

  1. Use S3 Select to write a query to search for errors. Run the query across all log groups of interest.
  2. Create an AWS Glue processing job to index the logs of interest. Run a query in Amazon Athena to search for errors.
  3. Use Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights to write a query to search for errors. Run the query across all log groups of interest.
  4. Use Amazon CloudWatch Contributor Insights to create a rule. Apply the rule across all log groups of interest.

Answer(s): B



A SysOps administrator wants to use AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager to automate the process of patching Amazon EC2 Windows instances. The SysOps administrator wants to ensure that patches are auto-approved 2 days after the release date for development instances. Patches also must be auto-approved 5 days after the release date for production instances. Maintenance must occur only during a 2-hour window for all instances.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Use tags to identify development instances and production instances. In Patch Manager, create two patch groups and one patch baseline. Add an auto-approval delay to each patch group. Create a single maintenance window.
  2. Use tags to identify development instances and production instances. In Patch Manager, create two patch groups and two patch baselines. Specify an auto-approval delay in each of the patch baselines. Create a single maintenance window.
  3. Use tags to identity development instances and production instances. In Patch Manager, create two patch groups and one patch baseline, Create two separate maintenance windows, each with an auto-approval delay.
  4. Use tags to identify development instances. In Patch Manager, create one patch group and one patch baseline. Specify auto-approval delays in the patch baseline, Add development instances to the new patch group. Use predefined Patch Manager patch baselines for all remaining instances. Create a single maintenance window.

Answer(s): B



A team of developers is using several Amazon S3 buckets as centralized repositories. Users across the world upload large sets of files to these repositories. The development team's applications later process these files.
A SysOps administrator sets up a new S3 bucket, DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET, to support a new workload, The rew S3 bucket also receives regular uploads cf large sets of files from users worldwide. When the new S3 bucket is put into production, the upload performance from certain geographic areas is lower than the upload performance that the existing $3 buckets provide
What should the SysOps administrator do to remediate this issue?

  1. Provision an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster for the new S3 bucket. Provide the developers with the configuration endpoint of the cluster for use in their API calls
  2. Add the new S3 bucket to a new Amazon CloudFront distribution. Provide the developers with the domain name of the new distribution for use in their API calls.
  3. Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration for the new S3 bucket. Verify that the developers are using the DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com endpoint name in their API calls.
  4. Use S3 multipart upload for the new S3 bucket. Verify that the developers are using Region-specific S3 endpoint names such as DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKETS3, [Region] amazonaws.com in their API calls.
