A SysOps administrator needs to update an AWS account name.
What should the SysOps administrator do to accomplish this goal?

  1. Add the AdministratorAccess policy to the SysOps administrator’s IAM user.
  2. Add the AWS_ConfigureRole policy to the SysOps administrator’s IAM user.
  3. Change the AWS account name through the AWS Trusted Advisor interface.
  4. Sign in as the AWS account root user to make the change.

Answer(s): D



A company uses AWS Organizations to manage its multi-account environment. The organization contains a dedicated account for security and a dedicated account for logging. A SysOps administrator needs to implement a centralized solution that provides alerts when a resource metric in any account crosses a standard defined threshold.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Deploy an AWS CloudFormation stack set to the accounts in the organization. Use a template that creates the required Amazon CloudWatch alarms and references an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic in the logging account with publish permissions for all the accounts.
  2. Deploy an AWS CloudFormation stack in each account. Use the stack to deploy the required Amazon CloudWalch alarms and the required Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.
  3. Deploy an AWS Lambda function on a cron job in each account. Configure the Lambda function to read resources that are in the account and to invoke an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic if any metrics cross the defined threshold.
  4. Deploy an AWS CloudFormation change set to the organization. Use a template to create the required Amazon CloudWatch alarms and to send alerts to a verified Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) identity.

Answer(s): A



A company has an application that uses a scheduled AWS Lambda function to retrieve datasets from external sources over the internet. The function is not associated with a VPC. The company is modifying the application to store the information that the Lambda function retrieves on an Amazon RDS DB instance in a private subnet. The VPC has two public subnets and two private subnets.
A SysOps administrator must deploy a solution that allows the Lambda function to access the new database and continue to access the internet.
Which solution meets these requirements?

  1. Create a new Lambda function with VPC access and an Elastic IP address. Attach the function to public subnets in two Availability Zones. Associate a security group with the Elastic IP address. Configure the security group outbound rules to allow Lambda to access the required resources.
  2. Create a new Lambda function with VPC access and two public IP addresses. Attach the function to public subnets in the same Availability Zones that the database uses. Associate a security group with the function. Configure the security group inbound rules to allow Lambda to access the required resources.
  3. Reconfigure the Lambda function for VPC access. Add NAT gateways to the public subnets in the VPAdd route table entries in the private subnets to route through the NAT gateways to the internet. Attach the function to the private subnets that support the database. Associate a security group with the function. Configure the security group outbound rules to allow Lambda to access the internet.
  4. Reconfigure the Lambda function for VPC access. Attach the function to the private subnets. Add route table entries in the private subnets to route through the internet gateway to the internet. Associate a security group with the subnets. Configure the security group inbound rules to allow Lambda to access the required resources through the internet gateway.

Answer(s): C



A company is running production workloads that use a Multi-AZ deployment of an Amazon RDS for MySQL db.m6g.xlarge (general purpose) standard DB instance. Users report that they are frequently encountering a “too many connections” error. A SysOps administrator observes that the number of connections on the database is high.
The SysOps administrator needs to resolve this issue while keeping code changes to a minimum.
Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

  1. Modify the RDS for MySQL DB instance to a larger instance size.
  2. Modify the RDS for MySQL DB instance to Amazon DynamoD
  3. Configure RDS Proxy. Modify the application configuration file to use the RDS Proxy endpoint.
  4. Modify the RDS for MySQL DB instance to a memory optimized DB instance.

Answer(s): C



A company has multiple Amazon EC2 instances that run a resource-intensive application in a development environment. A SysOps administrator is implementing a solution to stop these EC2 instances when they are not in use.
Which solution will meet this requirement?

  1. Assess AWS CloudTrail logs to verify that there is no EC2 API activity. Invoke an AWS Lambda function to stop the EC2 instances.
  2. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to stop the EC2 instances when the average CPU utilization is lower than 5% for a 30-minute period.
  3. Create an Amazon CloudWatch metric to stop the EC2 instances when the VolumeReadBytes metric is lower than 500 for a 30-minute period.
  4. Use AWS Config to invoke an AWS Lambda function to stop the EC2 instances based on resource configuration changes.
