Question 3mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company's development team frequently needs temporary test environments. A developer can log into the AWS Management Console, select an Amazon EC2 instance type, configure storage, and launch the instance within minutes without any interaction with the IT infrastructure team. This capability is an example of which essential characteristic of cloud computing?
Question 4mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company's finance team needs to analyze AWS spending in detail. They require a report that includes hourly cost data for each AWS service, each individual resource (e.g., a specific EC2 instance), and any cost allocation tags applied. The team plans to export this data to an Amazon S3 bucket and then import it into a custom business intelligence (BI) analytics dashboard. Which AWS tool should the finance team use to generate this level of detailed cost data?
Question 5easymultiple choice
Full question →A company currently runs its infrastructure in a colocation data center. The CIO wants to estimate the total cost of ownership (TCO) of migrating the existing workload to AWS, compared to continuing with the on-premises solution. The company has detailed data on current server specifications, power, cooling, and labor costs. Which AWS tool should the company use to perform this analysis?
Question 6mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has a compliance policy requiring that all data at rest in Amazon S3 be encrypted with a key that is automatically rotated every year. The company wants to manage the encryption keys themselves, maintain control over access policies, and have AWS handle the key rotation automatically. Which AWS service should the company use?
Question 7mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has 50 TB of on-premises file server data that must be transferred to Amazon S3. The company's internet connection is limited to 100 Mbps, and the data transfer must not impact daily business operations. The company needs a physical device to securely copy the data and then ship it to AWS for ingestion. Which AWS service should the company use?
Question 8mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company based in Germany needs to store and process customer data that, by law, must remain within the European Union (EU). The company plans to use AWS services. Which AWS Global Infrastructure element is the MOST important for the company to evaluate when choosing where to deploy its resources?
Question 9mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has 200 IAM users. The security team needs to automatically verify that every IAM user has enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA) for console access. They also need to receive a notification whenever a new user is created without MFA so they can enforce the policy. Which AWS service should the security team use to meet these requirements?
Question 10mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company develops a mobile application that allows employees to upload sales reports to an Amazon S3 bucket. The application must work reliably from any location, including from corporate offices, remote home offices, and international travel locations. The solution uses standard HTTPS requests over the internet. Which essential characteristic of cloud computing does this scenario best illustrate?
Question 11mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has a two-tier web application. The front-end web servers run on Amazon EC2 instances in a public subnet. The back-end application servers process jobs that are submitted by the front end. The company wants to decouple the front-end and back-end tiers so that the back-end servers can process jobs as they are submitted, even if the front-end servers experience a spike in traffic. The solution must be durable and fully managed, and must allow the front-end servers to send job requests without waiting for the back-end servers to be available. Which AWS service should the company use to send the job requests from the front end to the back end?
Question 12mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has 20 AWS accounts managed under AWS Organizations. The finance team wants to centralize billing so that the company receives volume discounts for the aggregated usage across all accounts. Additionally, the team needs to set monthly budgets for each department and automatically receive email notifications when a department's spending reaches 80% of its budget threshold. Which combination of AWS features or services should the company use to meet these requirements?
Question 13mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has 50 IAM users in a single AWS account. The security policy requires that every IAM user must have a virtual MFA device enabled for AWS Management Console access. The company wants to automatically detect any user who disables or has an inactive MFA device and immediately revoke that user's ability to access AWS resources by disabling their access keys. The solution must be fully managed, require no custom scripts, and use native AWS services. Which AWS service should the company use to define the compliance rule and automatically trigger the remediation action?
Question 14mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has a serverless architecture on AWS for its order processing system. The system uses AWS Lambda functions to validate payment, check inventory, update the database, and send email notifications. The company needs a managed service to coordinate these functions into a workflow, implement retry logic in case of failures, and manage the execution of each step sequentially. Which AWS service should the company use?
Question 15mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has a serverless application built with AWS Lambda. The application requires a series of functions to run in a specific order: after a user uploads a file, a validation function must run, then a processing function, and finally a metadata storage function. The company needs a service to coordinate these steps, manage state, handle errors, and automatically retry failed functions based on defined conditions. Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?
Question 16mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company expects a steady baseline usage of AWS compute services (Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate) over the next three years. They want to reduce costs compared to On-Demand pricing while maintaining the flexibility to change instance families, regions, or even switch between compute services (e.g., from EC2 to Lambda) without losing their discount. Which AWS pricing option should the company choose?
Question 17mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has a global user base that uploads images to an Amazon S3 bucket in the us-east-1 Region. Users report slow upload speeds and frequent timeouts when uploading large files from distant locations. The company wants to use the AWS global network and edge locations to accelerate uploads to the S3 bucket. The solution must require minimal infrastructure changes on the client side and must be configured at the bucket level. Which AWS feature should the company enable?
Question 18mediummultiple choice
Full question →A cloud provider uses shared physical infrastructure to serve many customers. Each customer's compute and storage resources are logically isolated and secure, but the underlying hardware is pooled across all customers. Which essential characteristic of cloud computing does this scenario BEST describe?
Question 19easymultiple choice
Full question →A company has a strict data residency policy that requires all customer data to remain stored on-premises at all times. However, the company experiences unpredictable spikes in compute demand and wants to use an AWS cloud environment to handle this additional workload during peak periods. The company needs a solution that allows them to seamlessly run applications across their on-premises infrastructure and AWS, using consistent management tools and APIs. The company also needs a dedicated, private network connection between the two environments for low latency and security. Which cloud deployment model best describes this architecture?
Question 20mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has an on-premises file server that stores large datasets. The company wants to reduce its on-premises storage footprint by moving cold data to AWS. However, users need low-latency access to frequently used files, and the applications must be able to access the data using the standard SMB protocol. The company wants to cache frequently accessed data locally on-premises for low latency, while securely storing all data in Amazon S3. Which AWS service should the company use?
