AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate Questions 186–190 (page: 39)

Updated On: 10-Feb-2026

A SysOps administrator is setting up an automated process to recover an Amazon EC2 instance in the event of an underlying hardware failure. The recovered instance must have the same private IP address and the same Elastic IP address that the original instance had. The SysOps team must receive an email notification when the recovery process is initiated.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for the EC2 instance, and specify the StatusCheckFailed_Instance metric. Add an EC2 action to the alarm to recover the instance. Add an alarm notification to publish a message to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Subscribe the SysOps team email address to the SNS topic.
  2. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for the EC2 instance, and specify the StatusCheckFailed_System metric. Add an EC2 action to the alarm to recover the instance. Add an alarm notification to publish a message to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Subscribe the SysOps team email address to the SNS topic.
  3. Create an Auto Scaling group across three different subnets in the same Availability Zone with a minimum, maximum, and desired size of 1. Configure the Auto Scaling group to use a launch template that specifies the private IP address and the Elastic IP address. Add an activity notification for the Auto Scaling group to send an email message to the SysOps team through Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES).
  4. Create an Auto Scaling group across three Availability Zones with a minimum, maximum, and desired size of 1. Configure the Auto Scaling group to use a launch template that specifies the private IP address and the Elastic IP address. Add an activity notification for the Auto Scaling group to publish a message to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Subscribe the SysOps team email address to the SNS topic.

Answer(s): B



A company has a public website that recently experienced problems. Some links led to missing webpages, and other links rendered incorrect webpages. The application infrastructure was running properly, and all the provisioned resources were healthy. Application logs and dashboards did not show any errors, and no monitoring alarms were raised. Systems administrators were not aware of any problems until end users reported the issues.
The company needs to proactively monitor the website for such issues in the future and must implement a solution as soon as possible.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

  1. Rewrite the application to surface a custom error to the application log when issues occur. Automatically parse logs for errors. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to provide alerts when issues are detected.
  2. Create an AWS Lambda function to test the website. Configure the Lambda function to emit an Amazon CloudWatch custom metric when errors are detected. Configure a CloudWatch alarm to provide alerts when issues are detected.
  3. Create an Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics canary. Use the CloudWatch Synthetics Recorder plugin to generate the script for the canary run. Configure the canary in line with requirements. Create an alarm to provide alerts when issues are detected.
  4. In the Amazon CloudWatch console, turn on Application Insights. Create a CloudWatch alarm to provide alerts when an issue is detected.

Answer(s): C



A SysOps administrator is responsible for a company’s security groups. The company wants to maintain a documented trail of any changes that are made to the security groups. The SysOps administrator must receive notification whenever the security groups change.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Set up Amazon Detective to record security group changes. Specify an Amazon CloudWatch Logs log group to store configuration history logs. Create an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue for notifications about configuration changes. Subscribe the SysOps administrator’s email address to the SQS queue.
  2. Set up AWS Systems Manager Change Manager to record security group changes. Specify an Amazon CloudWatch Logs log group to store configuration history logs. Create an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic for notifications about configuration changes. Subscribe the SysOps administrator’s email address to the SNS topic.
  3. Set up AWS Config to record security group changes. Specify an Amazon S3 bucket as the location for configuration snapshots and history files. Create an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic for notifications about configuration changes. Subscribe the SysOps administrator’s email address to the SNS topic.
  4. Set up Amazon Detective to record security group changes. Specify an Amazon S3 bucket as the location for configuration snapshots and history files. Create an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic for notifications about configuration changes. Subscribe the SysOps administrator’s email address to the SNS topic.

Answer(s): C



An ecommerce company has built a web application that uses an Amazon Aurora DB cluster. The DB cluster includes memory optimized instance types with both a writer node and a reader node. Traffic volume changes throughout the day. During sudden traffic surges, Amazon CloudWatch metrics for the DB cluster indicate high RAM consumption and an increase in select latency.
A SysOps administrator must implement a configuration change to improve the performance of the DB cluster. The change must minimize downtime and must not result in the loss of data.
Which change will meet these requirements?

  1. Add an Aurora Replica to the DB cluster.
  2. Modify the DB cluster to convert the DB cluster into a multi-master DB cluster.
  3. Take a snapshot of the DB cluster. From that snapshot, create a new DB cluster that has larger memory optimized instances.
  4. Increase the disk storage capacity of the DB cluster to double the existing disk capacity.

Answer(s): A



A company has a simple web application that runs on a set of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Elastic Load Balancer in the eu-west-2 Region. Amazon Route 53 holds a DNS record for the application with a simple routing policy. Users from all over the world access the application through their web browsers.
The company needs to create additional copies of the application in the us-east-1 Region and in the ap-south-1 Region. The company must direct users to the Region that provides the fastest response times when the users load the application.
What should a SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements?

  1. In each new Region, create a new Elastic Load Balancer and a new set of EC2 instances to run a copy of the application. Transition to a geolocation routing policy.
  2. In each new Region, create a copy of the application on new EC2 instances. Add these new EC2 instances to the Elastic Load Balancer in eu-west-2. Transition to a latency routing policy.
  3. In each new Region, create a copy of the application on new EC2 instances. Add these new EC2 instances to the Elastic Load Balancer in eu-west-2. Transition to a multivalue routing policy.
  4. In each new Region, create a new Elastic Load Balancer and a new set of EC2 instances to run a copy of the application. Transition to a latency routing policy.
