Question 2mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has a production Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance in a single Availability Zone. The SysOps administrator needs to improve database availability to ensure automatic failover in the event of a database failure or an Availability Zone outage. Which configuration should the administrator enable?
Question 3hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company has an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance with Multi-AZ deployment in us-east-1. The SysOps administrator must design a disaster recovery strategy to recover from a regional outage. The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is 1 hour and the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is 5 minutes. Which solution meets these requirements at the lowest cost?
Question 4easymultiple choice
Full question →A company requires that all Amazon EC2 instances launched in its AWS account must have termination protection enabled. The SysOps administrator needs to automatically remediate any instance launched without termination protection. The solution should use AWS managed services without custom scripts. Which AWS service should be used?
Question 5mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has an AWS account that contains multiple Amazon S3 buckets with sensitive data. A SysOps administrator needs to ensure that all S3 buckets in the account have versioning enabled to protect against accidental deletions. The administrator wants to automatically remediate any bucket that is created without versioning enabled. Which solution should be used?
Question 6mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company has multiple AWS accounts managed under AWS Organizations. The SysOps administrator needs to deploy a common AWS CloudFormation template to all accounts in a specific organizational unit (OU), ensuring consistent security group configurations across the organization. Which AWS service should the administrator use to perform this deployment?
Question 7mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company requires that all Amazon S3 buckets in its AWS account must be encrypted using AWS KMS (SSE-KMS). The SysOps administrator needs to detect any bucket that does not have KMS encryption enabled and automatically remediate it by enabling encryption. Which AWS service should be used to implement this automated compliance enforcement?
Question 8hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a critical application on Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones. The application stores state data on a shared Amazon EFS file system. The SysOps administrator needs to ensure that the file system remains available if an entire Availability Zone fails. The file system must also provide low-latency access from all instances. Which configuration meets these requirements?
Question 9mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a critical production database on Amazon RDS for MySQL with a Multi-AZ deployment. The database experiences a primary instance failure. The SysOps administrator needs to understand exactly how the failover process worked and why the application experienced a longer-than-expected downtime. Which AWS service or feature should the administrator use to review detailed events and actions during the failover?
Question 10easymultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a web application on Amazon EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone. The SysOps administrator wants to increase the availability of the application so that it can survive an Availability Zone failure. Which action is the most effective?
Question 11mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a critical web application on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group across three Availability Zones in us-east-1. The application stores data in an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance with Multi-AZ deployment. The SysOps administrator needs to design a disaster recovery strategy that can recover from a complete regional outage. The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is 2 hours and the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is 1 hour. Which solution should the administrator implement?
Question 12hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a critical database workload on an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance with Multi-AZ deployment in the us-east-1 region. The SysOps administrator must design a disaster recovery strategy that can recover from a complete regional outage. The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is 2 hours and the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is 1 hour. Which solution meets these requirements at the lowest cost?
Question 13mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a critical database on an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance. The SysOps administrator needs to ensure that the database can survive a single Availability Zone failure with minimal downtime. Which configuration should the administrator implement?
Question 14hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a read-heavy database workload on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL with a primary instance and two read replicas. The SysOps administrator observes that the read replicas frequently experience high replica lag during peak hours, causing stale reads for the application. The administrator needs to reduce replica lag while optimizing costs. The workload is predictable, with spikes during business hours and low traffic at night. Which combination of actions should the administrator take?
Question 15mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a production database on an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance in a single Availability Zone. The SysOps administrator needs to improve the database's availability to meet an SLA of 99.99% and ensure automatic failover in case of a database failure. Which configuration change should be made?
Question 16hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a web application on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. The application uses Amazon EBS volumes (gp2) for data storage. The SysOps administrator notices that the storage costs are high, and the application's IOPS requirements are consistently below 3000. The administrator wants to reduce storage costs without affecting performance. Which action should the administrator take?
Question 17mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a production Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance in a single Availability Zone. The SysOps administrator needs to improve database availability to ensure automatic failover if the primary instance fails. Which configuration should the administrator enable?
Question 18hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company manages multiple AWS accounts under AWS Organizations. The security team requires that all Amazon S3 buckets in the organization must be encrypted using AWS KMS (SSE-KMS). The SysOps administrator needs to automatically detect any bucket that is not compliant and remediate it by enabling SSE-KMS. Which AWS feature or service should be used to implement this automated compliance enforcement?
Question 19mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a production Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance in a single Availability Zone (AZ). The SysOps administrator needs to improve database availability so that in the event of a database failure or AZ outage, a standby instance is automatically promoted with minimal downtime. Which configuration should the administrator enable?
Question 20hardmultiple choice
Full question →A company's security policy requires that all Amazon S3 buckets must be encrypted at rest with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed keys. A SysOps administrator discovers that some buckets are not encrypted. Which combination of AWS services should be used to automatically detect and remediate non-compliant buckets using infrastructure as code?
