PAS-C01 Operations and Maintenance Practice Question
An SAP administrator needs to rotate the SSL/TLS certificate for the SAP Web Dispatcher running on an EC2 instance. The new certificate is stored in AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). How should the administrator deploy the certificate to the Web Dispatcher?
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
✓
Export the certificate from ACM using the AWS CLI and install it on the EC2 instance.
ACM allows you to export a certificate (including the private key) using the AWS CLI with the `export-certificate` command. This exported certificate can then be installed manually on the EC2 instance running SAP Web Dispatcher. Option B is incorrect because ACM certificates cannot be downloaded directly as files; they must be exported via the CLI or SDK. Option C is incorrect because ACM does not natively support automatic push of certificates to EC2 instances. Option D is incorrect because associating the certificate with an Application Load Balancer is an alternative approach but not required; the question asks how to deploy the certificate directly to the Web Dispatcher on EC2, not via a load balancer.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Export the certificate from ACM using the AWS CLI and install it on the EC2 instance.
Why this is correct
ACM supports exporting certificates for use on EC2 instances.
- ✗
Download the certificate from ACM and manually install it on the EC2 instance.
Why it's wrong here
ACM does not allow direct download of private keys.
- ✗
Configure ACM to automatically push the certificate to the EC2 instance.
Why it's wrong here
ACM does not automatically push certificates to instances.
- ✗
Import the new certificate into ACM and associate it with an Application Load Balancer in front of the Web Dispatcher.
Why it's wrong here
This changes the architecture; the question asks to deploy to the Web Dispatcher directly.
