Question 2mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) to define a serverless application with an API Gateway endpoint. The developer wants to enable API caching only in the development stage to speed up testing, but disable it in the production stage to ensure data freshness. What is the most efficient way to achieve this with SAM?
Question 3mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company uses AWS Elastic Beanstalk to run a web application. They want to deploy a new version with zero downtime and roll forward if successful. They have two environments: a production environment (current version) and a staging environment (new version). After verifying the staging environment, they want to swap the URLs so that production now points to the new version. Which deployment strategy should they use?
Question 4hardmultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an EC2 Auto Scaling group. The deployment must ensure that a minimum number of instances are always running and healthy. The developer wants to deploy to 10 instances. Which deployment configuration should the developer use?
Question 5mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is building a serverless application using AWS SAM that includes an API Gateway REST API and a Lambda function. The developer wants to pass environment variables to the Lambda function based on the deployment stage (dev/prod). The stage name is provided as a SAM parameter. How should the developer define this in the SAM template?
Question 6mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is building a serverless application using AWS SAM. The application includes an Amazon API Gateway endpoint with a Lambda function that processes user uploads. The developer wants to enable API caching in the development stage to speed up repeated requests, but disable caching in the production stage. What is the most efficient way to achieve this?
Question 7hardmultiple choice
Full question →A developer is deploying a microservices application on Amazon ECS with the Fargate launch type. The application uses an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to route traffic. The developer wants to perform a blue/green deployment with automated traffic shifting using AWS CodeDeploy. What is the minimum number of target groups required for this deployment?
Question 8easymultiple choice
Full question →A developer is deploying a web application using AWS Elastic Beanstalk. The application runs on multiple Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The developer wants to deploy a new version with zero downtime and the ability to quickly roll back if issues are discovered. Which deployment policy should the developer choose?
Question 9mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is deploying an application to Amazon ECS using AWS CodeDeploy with a blue/green deployment strategy. After the new task set is created, it fails health checks. The developer wants to immediately route traffic back to the original task set without waiting for CodeDeploy to complete the rollback process. Which action should the developer take?
Question 10mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an EC2 Auto Scaling group. The application must remain fully available; only one instance should be taken offline at a time. The developer wants to configure the deployment to update instances one by one, ensuring that the deployment fails fast if any instance fails to deploy. Which deployment configuration should the developer choose?
Question 11mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is deploying a microservice using AWS CodeDeploy with an Amazon ECS compute platform. The service must be updated with a blue/green deployment strategy. The developer wants to ensure that if the deployment fails, the new task set is automatically terminated and the original task set continues to serve traffic. Which configuration should the developer set?
Question 12easymultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an Amazon ECS service using the Fargate launch type. The developer wants to ensure that the deployment rolls back automatically if the new task set fails health checks. Which configuration should the developer set?
Question 13mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an EC2 Auto Scaling group. The deployment must be rolled back automatically if any instance in the deployment fails a health check within 10 minutes after the deployment. Which configuration should the developer set in the CodeDeploy deployment group?
Question 14mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an Auto Scaling group of EC2 instances. The developer wants to minimize the number of instances that are taken out of service at any given time during the deployment. Which predefined deployment configuration should the developer use?
Question 15mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to perform a canary deployment for an AWS Lambda function. The deployment should first shift 10% of traffic to the new version, and then shift the remaining 90% after 5 minutes. Which deployment configuration should be used?
Question 16hardmultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an EC2 Auto Scaling group. The developer wants the deployment to automatically roll back if any of the new instances fail a health check within the first 10 minutes after deployment. Which configuration should the developer set in the CodeDeploy deployment group?
Question 17hardmultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an Auto Scaling group. The deployment must be as fast as possible while ensuring that at least 50% of instances remain healthy throughout. Which deployment configuration should be used?
Question 18mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS Elastic Beanstalk to deploy a web application. The developer wants to run database migration scripts as part of the deployment process before the new application version starts serving traffic. Which Elastic Beanstalk configuration file should the developer use to define the migration commands?
Question 19mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer must locally test a SAM-based Lambda function with an API event before deployment. Which tool command family is designed for this?
Question 20mediummultiple choice
Full question →A developer is using AWS CodeDeploy to deploy an application to an EC2 Auto Scaling group. The developer wants to monitor the deployment and automatically roll back if a specified Amazon CloudWatch alarm is triggered during the deployment. Which CodeDeploy feature should the developer configure?
Watch out for
Common Deployment exam traps
- ▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
- ▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
- ▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
- ▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the DVA-C02 exam test about Deployment?
- Deployment questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.
- How should I use these practice questions?
- Select your answer before revealing the explanation. Then read why each option is right or wrong — this active recall approach builds retention far faster than re-reading notes.
- Can I practise just Deployment questions in a focused session?
- Yes — the session launcher on this page draws every question from the Deployment domain. Use a 10-question session first to gauge your baseline, then move to 20 or 30 once the weak spots are clear.
- Where can I practise other DVA-C02 topics?
- Use the topic links above to move to related areas, or go back to the DVA-C02 question bank to see all topics.
- Are these real exam questions or dumps?
- These are original practice questions written to test the same concepts the DVA-C02 exam covers. They are not copied from any real exam or dump site.
