Question 2easymultiple choice
Full question →A company processes orders using an Amazon SQS standard queue. The order processing application occasionally fails to process a message. The SysOps administrator wants to ensure that any message that fails to be successfully processed after three attempts is automatically moved to a separate queue for manual review. Which SQS feature should be configured?
Question 3hardmultiple 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 4easymultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a development Amazon EC2 instance that is only used during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM). The SysOps administrator wants to reduce compute costs. Which action should be taken?
Question 5mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a web application on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The application has predictable traffic patterns with high traffic during business hours and low traffic at night. The SysOps administrator wants to reduce compute costs while ensuring the application remains responsive during peak hours. The administrator has already implemented Auto Scaling based on CPU utilization. Which additional action should the administrator take to optimize costs?
Question 6mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company runs a web application on Amazon EC2 instances that are part of an Auto Scaling group. The application's traffic is predictable with regular peaks during business hours and low traffic at night. The SysOps administrator wants to optimize costs while ensuring that performance meets demand. The administrator also needs to minimize manual intervention. Which scaling policy should be used?
Question 7mediummultiple choice
Full question →A company uses an Amazon DynamoDB table with provisioned capacity. The average write usage is 500 write capacity units (WCU) but regularly spikes to 2,000 WCU during business hours. The SysOps administrator wants to reduce costs without affecting performance during the spikes. Which solution should the administrator implement?
Question 8hardmultiple choice
Full question →A SysOps administrator needs to monitor a custom application metric 'OrdersPerMinute' published to Amazon CloudWatch. The metric should trigger an alarm when the count exceeds 100 for more than 2 consecutive data points, but only during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM weekdays). The alarm must evaluate the metric as a rate per minute. How should the administrator configure the alarm?
Question 9hardmultiple choice
Full question →A SysOps administrator monitors a custom business metric published to Amazon CloudWatch. The metric exhibits irregular spikes that are not predictable. The administrator needs to be alerted when the metric deviates significantly from its normal pattern. Which CloudWatch feature should be used to set up the alarm with the least manual tuning?
Question 10mediummultiple choice
Full question →A SysOps administrator manages an Amazon RDS for MySQL instance that experiences high CPU utilization during business hours. The application is read-heavy. Which action will most effectively improve performance and reduce cost?

Frequently asked questions
- What does the SOA-C02 exam test about Reliability And Business Continuity?
- Reliability And Business Continuity 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 Reliability And Business Continuity questions in a focused session?
- Yes — the session launcher on this page draws every question from the Reliability And Business Continuity 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 SOA-C02 topics?
- Use the topic links above to move to related areas, or go back to the SOA-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 SOA-C02 exam covers. They are not copied from any real exam or dump site.
