Demo Questions

Question 1
A company recently acquired another corporation and all of that corporation's AWS accounts. A financial analyst needs the cost data from these accounts. A SysOps administrator uses Cost Explorer to generate cost and usage reports. The SysOps administrator notices that "No Tagkey" represents 20% of the monthly cost.
What should the SysOps administrator do to tag the "No Tagkey" resources?
  1. Add the accounts to AWS Organizations. Use a service control policy (SCP) to tag all the untagged resources.
  2. Use an AWS Config rule to find the untagged resources. Set the remediation action to terminate the resources.
  3. Use Cost Explorer to find and tag all the untagged resources.
  4. Use Tag Editor to find and taq all the untaqqed resources.
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
"You can add tags to resources when you create the resource. You can use the resource's service console or API to add, change, or remove those tags one resource at a time. To add tags to--or edit or delete tags of--multiple resources at once, use Tag Editor. With Tag Editor, you search for the resources that you want to tag, and then manage tags for the resources in your search results." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ARG/latest/userguide/tag-editor.html

Question 3
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 anAmazon 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 anAmazon 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 theprivate 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 theElastic IP address.

  3. Create an AWS Config rule that is invoked when CloudTrail configuration changes. Configure the rule to invoke an AWS Lambda function to enable CloudTrail.
  4. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Event) hourly rule with a schedule pattern to run an AWS Systems Manager Automation document to enable CloudTrail.
Correct answer: B
Question 7
A Sysops administrator creates an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster that uses AWS Fargate. The cluster is deployed successfully. The Sysops administrator needs to manage the cluster by using the kubect1 command line tool.
Which of the following must be configured on the Sysops administrator's machine so that kubect1can communicate with the cluster API server?
  1. The kubeconfig file
  2. The kube-proxy Amazon EKS add-on
  3. The Fargate profile
  4. The eks-connector.yaml file
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
The kubeconfig file is a configuration file used to store cluster authentication information, which is required to make requests to the Amazon EKS cluster API server. The kubeconfig file will need to be configured on the SysOps administrator's machine in order for kubectl to be able to communicate with the cluster API server. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/running-a-kubernetes-job-in-amazon-eks-on-aws-fargateusing-aws-stepfunctions/

Question 8
A Sysops administrator needs to configure automatic rotation for Amazon RDS database credentials.
The credentials must rotate every 30 days. The solution must integrate with Amazon RDS.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
  1. Store the credentials in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store as a secure string. Configure automatic rotation with a rotation interval of 30 days.
  2. Store the credentials in AWS Secrets Manager. Configure automatic rotation with a rotation interval of 30 days.
  3. Store the credentials in a file in an Amazon S3 bucket. Deploy an AWS Lambda function to automatically rotate the credentials every 30 days.
  4. Store the credentials in AWS Secrets Manager. Deploy an AWS Lambda function to automatically rotate the credentials every 30 days.
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
Storing the credentials in AWS Secrets Manager and configuring automatic rotation with a rotation interval of 30 days is the most efficient way to meet the requirements with the least operational overhead. AWS Secrets Manager automatically rotates the credentials at the specified interval, so there is no need for an additional AWS Lambda function or manual rotation. Additionally, Secrets Manager is integrated with Amazon RDS, so the credentials can be easily used with the RDS database.

Question 9
A company has an application that runs only on Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. The instances run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group with scheduled scaling actions. However, the capacity does not always increase at the scheduled times, and instances terminate many times a day. A Sysops administrator must ensure that the instances launch on time and have fewer interruptions. Which action will meet these requirements?
  1. Specify the capacity-optimized allocation strategy for Spot Instances. Add more instance types to the Auto Scaling group.
  2. Specify the capacity-optimized allocation strategy for Spot Instances. Increase the size of the instances in the Auto Scaling group.
  3. Specify the lowest-price allocation strategy for Spot Instances. Add more instance types to the Auto Scaling group.
  4. Specify the lowest-price allocation strategy for Spot Instances. Increase the size of the instances in the Auto Scaling group.
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
Specifying the capacity-optimized allocation strategy for Spot Instances and adding more instance types to the Auto Scaling group is the best action to meet the requirements. Increasing the size of the instances in the Auto Scaling group will not necessarily help with the launch time or reduce interruptions, as the Spot Instances could still be interrupted even with larger instance sizes.

Question 10
A company stores its data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company is required to classify the data and find any sensitive personal information in its S3 files. 
Which solution will meet these requirements?
  1. Create an AWS Config rule to discover sensitive personal information in the S3 files and mark them as noncompliant.
  2. Create an S3 event-driven artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) pipeline to classify sensitive personal information by using Amazon Recognition.
  3. Enable Amazon GuardDuty. Configure S3 protection to monitor all data inside Amazon S3.
  4. Enable Amazon Macie. Create a discovery job that uses the managed data identifier.
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
Amazon Macie is a security service designed to help organizations find, classify, and protect sensitive data stored in Amazon S3. Amazon Macie uses machine learning to automatically discover, classify, and protect sensitive data in Amazon S3. Creating a discovery job with the managed data identifier will allow Macie to identify sensitive personal information in the S3 files and classify it accordingly. Enabling AWS Config and Amazon GuardDuty will not help with this requirement as they are not designed to automatically classify and protect data.
