Which change is MOST likely to reduce timeouts without increasing costs unnecessarily?

A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy with a blue/green deployment on an Amazon ECS service running on Fargate. The developer wants to ensure that the new (green) task set is fully healthy and serving traffic before the old (blue) task set is terminated. The deployment should automatically roll back to the blue task set if the green task set fails health checks. Which configuration should the developer set in the CodeDeploy deployment group?

A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an Auto Scaling group. The deployment is set to use a 'OneAtATime' deployment configuration. The developer wants to ensure that the deployment does not cause downtime. Which TWO configurations are necessary?

Which THREE steps should a developer include in a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a serverless application using AWS SAM? (Choose three.)

A company uses AWS OpsWorks for configuration management. They have a stack with multiple layers. They want to deploy a new application version to the application layer using rolling updates. What is the correct way to achieve this?

A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy with a blue/green deployment strategy to update an application running on Amazon ECS with the Fargate launch type. After the new (green) task set is created and traffic is shifted to it, users immediately report errors when trying to write data. The developer discovers that the green task set is connecting to a different database than the blue task set. The database endpoints are configured in the ECS task definition. What is the simplest way to prevent this issue in future deployments?

A developer is deploying a serverless application using AWS SAM. The application consists of multiple Lambda functions and an API Gateway REST API. The developer needs to ensure that the API Gateway endpoint is created before the Lambda functions are deployed, because the functions need the endpoint URL as an environment variable. How should the developer configure the SAM template?

A developer needs to deploy a serverless application using AWS CloudFormation. The application includes an AWS Lambda function, an Amazon API Gateway REST API, and an Amazon DynamoDB table. The developer wants to create a stack that can be updated without downtime. Which CloudFormation feature should be used?

A developer is deploying a microservices architecture on Amazon ECS. The services need to communicate with each other securely. The developer wants to use service discovery and ensure that traffic between services is encrypted. Which combination of services should the developer use?

A company uses AWS CodePipeline to deploy a Node.js application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. The build stage runs successfully, but the deploy stage fails with an error: 'The deployment failed because no instances were found for the environment.' What is the most likely cause?

A company uses AWS CodeDeploy to deploy a web application to an Auto Scaling group of Amazon EC2 instances. The deployment fails with the error 'The overall deployment failed because too many individual instances failed deployment, too few healthy instances are available for deployment, or some instances in your deployment group are experiencing problems.' The developer needs to identify the root cause. Which AWS service should the developer use to view detailed error logs from the failed deployment?

A developer is using AWS CodePipeline to deploy a web application. The pipeline has a source stage that pulls from CodeCommit and a deploy stage that uses AWS Elastic Beanstalk. The developer wants to run unit tests automatically before deploying to Elastic Beanstalk. Which action should the developer add to the pipeline?

A developer is using AWS CodePipeline to deploy a web application. The pipeline has stages: Source, Build, Staging Deploy, Staging Test, and Prod Deploy. The developer wants to ensure that if the Staging Test stage fails, the pipeline automatically stops and does not proceed to Prod Deploy. Which action should the developer take?

A development team wants to automatically deploy a web application to Amazon EC2 instances when new code is pushed to the master branch of an AWS CodeCommit repository. Which AWS service should the team use to orchestrate the build, test, and deployment phases?

A company is deploying a microservices architecture using AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway. The developer wants to implement a canary release deployment for the API. Which THREE steps should the developer take? (Choose THREE.)

A developer is deploying a Docker container to Amazon ECS using the Fargate launch type. The developer wants to ensure the container has access to an Amazon RDS database. What is the best way to securely pass the database credentials to the container?

A team uses AWS CodeCommit for source control and wants to automatically trigger a build and deployment when code is pushed to the master branch. Which AWS service should be used to create this automation?

A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an Auto Scaling group. The deployment fails during the 'BeforeInstall' lifecycle event. Which file should the developer check to debug the failure?

A developer is using AWS Elastic Beanstalk to deploy a Node.js application. The developer wants to run a custom script to set environment variables before the application starts. Which configuration file and location should the developer use?
