CompTIA 220-1002 Exam Actual Questions
(Retired and replaced with 220-1201) (Page 17 )

• Why: If an application on EC2 needs to call other AWS services, using an IAM role (attached to the EC2 instance as an instance profile) provides temporary, automatically rotated credentials. This avoids embedding access keys in the application.
• How it works: Create a role with the minimum required permissions, attach it to the EC2 instance, and let the AWS SDK used by the application retrieve credentials from the instance metadata service. The credentials rotate automatically and are scoped to the policy you define.
• Why not other options:

• Sustainability is not a CAF perspective (it's not one of the CAF perspectives).
• Performance efficiency and Reliability are pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework, not CAF.

• Topic: Conditional Access (CA) policy and MFA for Azure management.
• Policy name: Policy1, created with the template “Require multifactor authentication for Azure management.”
• What the template does: It enforces MFA when signing in to manage Azure resources (Azure management) for the users included in the policy.
• Who is included: The question lists Admin1, Admin2, Admin3, and Admin4 as the admins in the tenant. The template’s default scope for this scenario is to apply to those admin accounts (i.e., all four admins unless you explicitly limit the scope).

• CA policy for “Azure management” targets admin sign-ins.
• If the policy includes Admin1–Admin4, all of them must use MFA on their next sign-in (choice D).

• B. Enable column profile — This turns on column profiling, which computes statistics like min and max for each column.
• C. Show column profile in details pane — This ensures the per-column profile is visible in the details pane.
• E. Enable details pane — This makes the details pane available so you can view the column profile there.

• A. Show column value distribution may help with distribution but isn’t specifically about min/max.
• D. Show column quality details shows data quality (valid/null counts), not min/max.

• Co to znaczy: transakcje zachowuja sie tak, jakby byly wykonywane jeden po drugim. Dzieki temu nie ma brudnych odczytów, niepowtarzalnych odczytów ani phantom reads.

• Implementacja: PostgreSQL uzywa SSI (Serializable Snapshot Isolation). W praktyce oznacza to, ze jesli wykryje konflikt miedzy transakcjami, jedna z nich zostanie zakonczona bledem “serialization failure” i trzeba ja ponowic.

• Zalózmy tabele orders(customer_id int, amount int).

• Transakcja T1:

• Transakcja T2, równoczesnie:

• T1 ponownie wykonuje to zapytanie:

• A — SCIM synchronizes changes to user attributes from the identity provider to GitHub.
• B — SCIM deactivates GitHub accounts when users are removed or deactivated in the identity provider.
• D — SCIM automates user provisioning when new users are added to the identity provider.

• C: SCIM does not delete organization repositories.
• E: SCIM does not generate REST API authentication tokens.
• F: SCIM handles identity lifecycle management, not repository permission configuration based on roles.

• Correct answer: D — AWS Migration Hub

• AWS Migration Hub provides a single location to track the progress of application migrations. It offers a centralized dashboard to view migration status across multiple tools and projects.

• AWS Application Discovery Service helps inventory and map on-prem applications and their dependencies, not a single progress tracker.
• AWS Application Migration Service (formerly SMS) performs the actual lift-and-shift migrations, but isn’t the centralized tracker itself.
• AWS Service Catalog manages catalogs of IT services for self-service deployment, not migration progress.

• Workspace: Stores notebooks, libraries, jobs, and other project resources.
• Notebooks: Interactive documents containing code, queries, visualizations, and explanations. Common languages include Python, SQL, Scala, and R.
• Clusters: Groups of virtual machines that run Spark workloads. Clusters can be started, stopped, and automatically scaled.
• Data access: Databricks can read from services such as Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure SQL.
• Jobs: Automate notebooks or data-processing workflows on a schedule or in response to events.

• The correct answer is Mass Transfer Tool.

• The Mass Transfer Records tool is Salesforce’s built-in way to reassign ownership of existing records in bulk. In this scenario, you need to transfer ownership of the departed rep’s accounts and opportunities to a new rep while keeping the team structure intact.

• Go to Setup > Data Management > Mass Transfer Records.
• Choose the object: Accounts (and then Opportunities, if needed).
• Set “Transfer From” (the leaving rep) and “Transfer To” (the new rep).
• Decide whether to transfer related records as well (e.g., opportunities tied to accounts) and proceed.
• Review and confirm.

• Data Loader / Data Import Wizard are for bulk import/export, not bulk reassigning ownership.
• Dataloader.io is a third-party tool; the built-in Mass Transfer tool is the standard Salesforce method for this task.

• Why: After listing all resources, you need to assign who is responsible for each task. A RACI chart (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) documents these roles for every activity.

• What RACI means:

• Why the others aren’t suitable here:

• Quick example: Task "Create user authentication module" — Responsible: Developer, Accountable: Tech Lead, Consulted: Security Architect, Informed: PM.

• Azure Resource Manager templates: Use ARM templates to define the VM infrastructure and baseline configuration as code. This ensures all Windows Server 2016 VMs are created with a uniform setup, minimizing manual configuration.

• PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension for Windows: DSC enforces a defined state across all servers and can automatically remediate drift. This keeps the VMs in the desired configuration with minimal ongoing admin effort.

• Residual neural network (ResNet): Primarily used for computer vision tasks such as image classification.
• Support vector machine (SVM): Commonly used for classification and regression, not natural-language query generation.
• WaveNet: Designed mainly for generating or modeling audio and speech.

• A. Custom and standard objects have standard fields. True. Both object types include standard fields (for example, CreatedDate, LastModifiedDate, Owner). Custom objects also have the Name field, which is a standard field on all objects.
• B. Standard objects are included with Salesforce. True. Standard objects (like Account, Contact, etc.) come with Salesforce out of the box.
• C. A new standard object can be created. False. You can create custom objects, but you cannot create new standard objects.
• D. Only standard objects support master-detail relationships. False. Master-detail relationships can be used with both standard and custom objects.

• A. Number ? Decimal — Correct. Salesforce Number fields are represented in Apex as Decimal.
• D. Date/Time ? Datetime — This is correct conceptually, but “Dateline” is not an Apex type. If the option literally says “Dateline,” it is incorrect.
• E. Checkbox ? Boolean — Correct. A checkbox contains true or false.

• Number ? Integer — A Number field maps to Decimal, even when its scale is zero.
• Text Area ? List<String> — A text area maps to a single String, not a list.

• Enable the owner dimension
• Allocate a standard costing inventory model

• Owner dimension (B): This dimension Lets you track who owns the stock. By enabling the owner dimension, items can be configured as either company owned or consignment (vendor-owned) when you create or edit items. Without enabling this dimension, you can’t designate ownership per item.
• Standard costing inventory model (D): Selecting a costing model determines how item costs are calculated and posted. Standard costing provides a fixed cost per unit, which is commonly used for agreed pricing scenarios like consignment arrangements for easier accounting and valuation. It helps ensure consistent cost treatment across transactions for items that can be owned by the company or on consignment.

• Batch dimension (A): Batch tracking is unrelated to ownership and isn’t required to support company-owned vs. consignment configurations.
• Moving average costing (C): This is an alternative costing method. It’s not required to enable ownership config, and the exam’s expected choice focuses on standard costing for this scenario.

• A. Implement retries with exponential backoff

• C. Reduce the frequency and/or size of requests

• B. Use PutRecord instead of PutRecords — PutRecord sends one record per call and does not remove the underlying throughput limitation. It may increase request overhead.
• D. Use Amazon SNS instead — SNS is not a direct fix for Kinesis shard throttling and changes the required streaming architecture.
• E. Reduce KCL consumers — KCL consumers read from Kinesis; they do not solve producer-side PutRecords throttling.

• The correct option is B: AWS Storage Gateway.

• Why: The scenario requires backing up on-prem data to AWS without changing existing backup workflows. AWS Storage Gateway provides a hybrid storage solution; specifically, the Tape Gateway emulates a physical tape library, allowing your existing backup software to write to virtual tapes that are stored in AWS (in S3 or S3 Glacier). This lets you back up 10 TB to the cloud while preserving current backup workflows and on-prem infrastructure.

• How it would work: Deploy a gateway appliance or VM on-site, connect your tape-based backup software to the virtual tape library, and start writing to virtual tapes. The data is then archived in AWS, freeing up local storage.

• Why the others aren’t suitable:

• Quick tip: If you weren’t using tape, File Gateway could be another option for file-based backups; Tape Gateway is the right pick for tape-based workflows.

• Correct choices: A and D.

• Why not B, C, or E?

• Ensure that only users who manage the production environment sign in to the Azure portal from a hybrid Entra-joined device and authenticate with MFA.

• Use Microsoft Entra ID Protection (Identity Protection) to enforce MFA enrollment:

• Update the existing Capolicy1 (a Conditional Access policy):

• Identity Protection MFA registration policy ensures users are enrolled in MFA (Box 1 choice).
• CA policy Capolicy1 with aGrant control of “Require MFA” enforces MFA during sign-in (Box 2 choice).
• Both work together with the hybrid-joined device requirement to satisfy the authentication/authorization rules.

• Apply the MFA registration policy to the production-management users.
• Apply the MFA grant to Capolicy1 for those same users/groups.

• A — conformant: Incorrect because one explicit requirement is violated.
• B — consistent: “Consistent” is not sufficient where the implementation contradicts a mandatory specification. The RPC mechanism is covered by the architecture, and the implementation differs from it.
• C — consistent: Incorrect reasoning: the RPC mechanism does have a defined architectural requirement, so conformance must be assessed.
• D — non-conformant: Correct because the implementation fails to follow the specified RPC/threading requirement.

• TCP is connection-oriented. It establishes a connection before data transfer using a three-way handshake (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK), enabling reliable delivery, ordering, and flow control.

• UDP is connectionless. It sends datagrams without a prior connection and provides no guarantee of delivery, order, or protection against duplicates; any reliability is up to the application.

• B incorrectly states UDP uses acknowledgment packets; UDP has no built-in ACKs.
• C wrongly claims UDP provides reliable transfer and that TCP is connectionless.
• D misstates framing bits; neither protocol uses the listed TCP/UDP handshake bits in frames.

• The Balanced Scorecard translates an organization’s vision and strategy into a set of concrete objectives and metrics across four perspectives (financial, customer, internal processes, learning & growth). This framework explicitly links IT goals to business goals and provides a way to measure and monitor alignment over time.

• Enterprise architecture (EA): Great for governance, standards, and roadmaps to ensure IT assets support business needs, but it’s more about structure and alignment at design time rather than directly measuring ongoing alignment of goals.
• KPIs: Useful metrics, but they don’t by themselves provide a full framework to ensure IT goals are aligned with organizational strategy.
• Enterprise dashboard: A visualization tool for metrics; it helps report status but doesn’t inherently establish or assess alignment.

• MFA verifies a user’s identity using additional authentication factors, such as a phone prompt or security token.
• It helps prevent unauthorized access even if a password is compromised.
• It does not provide secure storage or encryption of credentials used during automated deployment.

• Enable the owner dimension

• Assign a standard costing inventory model

• Batch dimension tracks batches or lots, such as expiration or production batches. It does not identify inventory ownership.
• Moving average is a costing method, but it is not the required choice for this consignment configuration.

• Goal: Guests should not use cameras, but company users can.
• Correct configuration: Guest access settings in the Org-wide settings.

• External access: Controls external-domain communication, not guest capabilities inside Teams.
• Teams settings in Org-wide settings: Too generic; doesn’t specifically target guest capabilities.
• Audio & Video in the default Meeting Policy: Would affect everyone assigned to that policy. To meet the requirement without impacting internal users, you’d need separate policies or guest-specific settings; the exam focuses on the guest-access policy.

• The Well-Architected Framework has five pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, and Cost Optimization.
• Operational Excellence: how you run and improve your systems—monitoring, incident response, and evolving processes.
• Reliability: the ability of a workload to recover from failures, maintain uptime, and scale as demand changes.

• Availability (A) is not a pillar name; it’s an outcome that relates to Reliability.
• Scalability (C) isn’t a pillar name; scalability touches on Performance Efficiency.
• Responsive design (D) is not a pillar in the Well-Architected Framework.

• Hardware and infrastructure
• System software
• Networks and communications
• Technology platforms and services

• Business Architecture: Defines business strategy, organization, functions, and processes.
• Data Architecture: Defines the structure and management of enterprise data.
• Application Architecture: Describes application systems and how they interact to support business and data processing.

• Answer: A. Use Amazon SageMaker Serverless Inference to deploy the model.

• Why: SageMaker Serverless Inference hosts the model and serves real-time predictions without you provisioning or managing servers. It scales automatically and handles deployment details.

• Why the others aren’t suitable:

• Quick example flow: web app ? SageMaker Serverless Inference endpoint ? model ? response.

• Who performed the action
• What action occurred
• When it occurred
• Where it originated
• Whether it succeeded or failed

• Investigating suspicious activity: Important, but investigation depends on having adequate audit data first.
• Storage allocation: Necessary for retention, but storage does not help if the records lack meaningful details.
• Actions after audit failure: Part of operational planning, not the primary assessment of the application’s audit capability.

• Why: The data is unlabeled, so you can’t train a model with known input-output pairs. Unsupervised learning discovers structure in the data by grouping similar customers into clusters or tiers without labels.
• What it does: Clustering and segmentation (e.g., k-means, hierarchical clustering, DBSCAN, Gaussian mixtures) to form meaningful groups.
• Why the other options aren’t as suitable:

• Sales Processes define the set of Opportunity stages for a given workflow.
• Record Types let you have different data models (different fields and picklist values) on the same object.
• Page Layouts control which fields are shown/required for each record type.

• Create three Sales Processes so each team can use its own stages.
• Create three Record Types so each team has its own fields and picklist values.
• Create three Page Layouts so each record type shows the appropriate fields.

• Network Security Groups (NSGs) control network traffic to and from Azure resources.
• By applying NSGs to the web tier and the database tier (subnets or NICs), you can:

• NSGs provide the necessary granularity (source/destination, port, protocol) to enforce the desired traffic patterns between tiers.
• For easier management you can use separate subnets for each tier or, optionally, use Application Security Groups to simplify rule management.

Why

cmd 
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\ConfigureVM.ps1

Why the other options are less suitable

• GPO logon script: Runs only when a user logs on and may not run during initial VM provisioning.
• GPO startup script: Can work, but requires the VM to be joined to the domain and the policy to be applied. It is also normally evaluated at each startup.
• Place scripts in a VHD: Merely placing scripts on a disk does not cause them to execute.

• Admin access to the deployment pipeline (B) – lets the developers use the pipeline and deploy content.
• Contributor access to the Development and Test workspaces (E) – required to deploy items into those workspaces.
• Viewer access to the Production workspace (D) – lets them view Production content without allowing deployment or modification.

• Contributor access to Production (F), because that could allow changes or deployment there.
• Viewer access to Development/Test (C), because Viewer is insufficient for deployment.
• Build permission to Production semantic models (A), because building reports on a semantic model is not required merely to view Production items.

• AWS IoT Greengrass supports local ML inference using models trained in Amazon SageMaker.
• The model and inference code run on the factory’s local server, so processing continues even when internet connectivity is unavailable.
• A Greengrass component can:

• This provides low latency and avoids sending images to AWS for every inference.

• A: Uses AWS-hosted services and therefore depends on internet connectivity. It would fail during an outage.
• C: Snowball Edge is unnecessary for this use case and adds deployment complexity. A local Greengrass server is the intended edge-inference solution.
• D: Amazon Monitron is designed for monitoring industrial equipment health, not analyzing camera images with a custom SageMaker model.

• What it’s asking: In an ARM template, for an Availability Set, what value should you set for the property platformFaultDomainCount to maximize availability during fabric failures or maintenance?

• Key concept: Fault domains are groups of hardware that can fail independently. By spreading VMs across more fault domains, you reduce the risk that a single hardware fault takes out many VMs.

• Important detail: For managed Availability Sets, the number of fault domains you can use varies by region — typically 2 or 3.

• What to choose: Set platformFaultDomainCount to the maximum supported in your region. In most regions this is 3, which gives you the best resilience. If your region only supports 2, you’d use 2.

• Answer: 3 (Max Value). In ARM template syntax, this would appear as "platformFaultDomainCount": 3 (within the Availability Set resource).

• DNS????????????????

• ???????????

• ????????????????

• Correct answer: Power BI dataset

• The scenario says the data model already contains several measures and you want to create a report from the existing data with minimal development. Reusing a published Power BI dataset lets you inherit the existing measures and data model, so you don’t have to recreate them.
• How to do it: In Power BI Desktop, use the connector Power BI datasets (Get Data > Power BI datasets) and connect to the existing dataset, then build visuals using the pre-defined measures.
• Why the other options are less suitable:

• A limited lifetime
• Permissions defined by an IAM role or policy
• The ability to access AWS APIs without using long-term IAM user credentials

• Amazon API Gateway — Builds and manages APIs; it does not generally issue AWS credentials for applications.
• IAM users — Usually use long-term credentials, which are less suitable for applications.
• IAM instance profiles — Provide temporary role credentials to applications running on EC2 instances, but are specifically tied to EC2. The broader requirement described is best met by AWS STS.

• Copilot??????????
• ???????????????
• ??????????

• Prompts and Suggestions: Retained for 28 days
• User Engagement Data: Kept for Two Years

• Used for communication on the local link or LAN segment
• Automatically generated on IPv6-enabled interfaces
• Not routed by routers to other networks
• Commonly used by devices to communicate with their local IPv6 router
• Begins with FE80 through FEBF

• FC00::/7 — unique local unicast
• FE80::/10 — link-local unicast
• FF00::/8 — multicast
• 2000::/3 — global unicast

• Answer: D) Out-of-band management

• Why this is correct:

• Why the other options aren’t suitable here:

• Le rôle n’a pas de clés propres. Des identifiants temporaires (via STS) sont émis lorsque quelqu’un ou quelque chose « assume » le rôle.
• La trust policy déclare qui peut assumer le rôle (par ex. une instance EC2, un utilisateur IAM, ou un service comme Lambda).
• Une fois attaché à une ressource (par exemple comme un instance profile sur une EC2), l’application peut appeler les services AWS avec les permissions du rôle.

• Respect du principe du moindre privilège: on accorde uniquement ce qui est nécessaire.
• Pas de stockages de clés sur les instances; les credentials se renouvellent automatiquement.

• Rôles pour EC2, rôles pour Lambda, accès cross-compte, etc.

• Assign a Teams license to a user — Licenses are assigned through the Microsoft 365 admin center, Microsoft Entra ID, or PowerShell.
• Deploy the Teams client — The Teams admin center manages Teams policies and apps, but it is not the primary tool for deploying the desktop client.
• Prevent users from creating teams — Team creation depends on controlling the creation of Microsoft 365 groups, generally configured through Microsoft Entra ID and PowerShell rather than directly in the Teams admin center.

• Answer: B — Improve employee training and awareness

• Why this is correct:

• Why the other options are less effective here:

• Quick practical note:

• Answer: False. Agents and managers CAN create knowledge articles from Community questions.

• Why: In ServiceNow, a Community question can be converted into a Knowledge article using the Create Knowledge (or Convert to Knowledge) action. This allows what customers asked to become a reusable article for others.

• How it works (high level):

• Permissions: This ability depends on having the right roles/permissions (e.g., agents or knowledge managers). If you don’t see the option, check your role assignments or the knowledge-management configuration.

• Quick take: If a question in Community is valuable for others, a trained agent can turn it into a Knowledge article, making it available for self-service.

• A recipient who already has a Microsoft account or an organizational account can authenticate by signing in.
• A recipient without a usable Microsoft identity may receive a one-time passcode by email.
• The passcode is sent to the same email address that was invited and is used to verify ownership of that address.

• A. IDS attack signatures: An IDS primarily detects suspicious network activity and usually alerts rather than directly scanning and blocking uploaded files.
• C. Load balancer: Distributes traffic among servers but does not inspect files for malware.
• D. WAF: Protects web applications from attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and some malicious requests. It is not primarily a PDF-malware scanning solution.

• App Tag: a label that reflects the app’s enterprise readiness based on its Cloud Confidence Index (CCI) rating. It lets you quickly group apps (e.g., Poor, Average, Good) for policy decisions.
• App Score: a numeric value representing the CCI score. It provides a precise threshold you can use to enforce policies (e.g., block apps with Score below 50).

• You can create policies that block or restrict apps with a Poor App Tag or with an App Score under a chosen threshold.
• These two aspects let you filter cloud apps by CCI ratings during policy evaluation.

• CCL isn’t described as a real-time policy facet in this scenario.
• GDPR Readiness is a separate consideration and not the two CCI aspects used for real-time protection policy in this context.

• Context: You’ve enabled auditing in Dataverse and need to trim audit data to free storage. The question asks which deletion options you can use.

• What the options typically mean:

• About the provided answer (A, C, D): The list includes “by column,” which isn’t a typical or supported way to purge audit data. The more plausible trio is A (by record), B (date range), and C (by table older than date). If the exam expects A, C, D, that seems incorrect or mis-stated in the source.

• Practical takeaway: To reduce audit storage, use per-record deletions, per-table purge by date, and/or date-range deletions as supported by the environment’s audit management UI or admin docs.
