- A
1. Obtain an SSL/TLS certificate from ACM, 2. Create a target group, 3. Create an ALB with an HTTPS listener, 4. Register targets with the target group, 5. Update DNS to point to the ALB.
This is correct because the certificate must be available before creating the HTTPS listener, the target group must exist before the ALB references it, and targets must be registered before DNS updates direct traffic to the ALB.
- B
1. Create an ALB with an HTTPS listener, 2. Create a target group, 3. Obtain an SSL/TLS certificate from ACM, 4. Register targets with the target group, 5. Update DNS to point to the ALB.
Why wrong: This is incorrect because the certificate must be obtained before creating the HTTPS listener, and the target group must exist before the ALB is created. Doing it in this order would cause errors.
- C
1. Obtain an SSL/TLS certificate from ACM, 2. Create an ALB with an HTTPS listener, 3. Create a target group, 4. Update DNS to point to the ALB, 5. Register targets with the target group.
Why wrong: This is incorrect because the target group must be created before the ALB, and targets must be registered before updating DNS. Otherwise, traffic would be directed to an ALB with no targets.
- D
1. Create a target group, 2. Register targets with the target group, 3. Obtain an SSL/TLS certificate from ACM, 4. Create an ALB with an HTTPS listener, 5. Update DNS to point to the ALB.
Why wrong: This is incorrect because the ALB must exist before registering targets (targets are registered to a target group associated with an ALB), and the certificate must be obtained before creating the HTTPS listener.
SAP-C02 Practice Question: Accelerate Workload Migration and Modernization
This SAP-C02 practice question tests your understanding of accelerate workload migration and modernization. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
1. Obtain an SSL/TLS certificate from ACM, 2. Create a target group, 3. Create an ALB with an HTTPS listener, 4. Register targets with the target group, 5. Update DNS to point to the ALB.
First get the certificate, then create the target group, then the ALB with HTTPS, register targets, and update DNS.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
