Question No. 1

A company website contains a web tier and a database tier on AWS. The web tier consists of Amazon EC2 instances that run in an Auto Scaling group across two Availability Zones. The database tier runs on an Amazon ROS for MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance. The database subnet network ACLs are restricted to only the web subnets that need access to the database. The web subnets use the default network ACL with the default rules.

The company's operations team has added a third subnet to the Auto Scaling group configuration. After an Auto Scaling event occurs, some users report that they intermittently receive an error message. The error message states that the server cannot connect to the database. The operations team has confirmed that the route tables are correct and that the required ports are open on all security groups.

Which combination of actions should a SysOps administrator take so that the web servers can communicate with the DB instance? (Select TWO.)

AOn the default ACL. create inbound Allow rules of type TCP with the ephemeral port range and the source as the database subnets.

BOn the default ACL, create outbound Allow rules of type MySQL/Aurora (3306). Specify the destinations as the database subnets.

COn the network ACLs for the database subnets, create an inbound Allow rule of type MySQL/Aurora (3306). Specify the source as the third web subnet.

DOn the network ACLs for the database subnets, create an outbound Allow rule of type TCP with the ephemeral port range and the destination as the third web subnet.

EOn the network ACLs for the database subnets, create an outbound Allow rule of type MySQL/Aurora (3306). Specify the destination as the third web subnet.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: C, D

To ensure that the new web subnet can communicate with the database instance, follow these steps:

Create an Inbound Allow Rule for MySQL/Aurora (3306):

On the network ACL for the database subnets, add an inbound allow rule to permit traffic from the third web subnet on port 3306 (MySQL/Aurora).

Create an Outbound Allow Rule for Ephemeral Ports:

On the network ACL for the database subnets, add an outbound allow rule to permit traffic to the third web subnet on the ephemeral port range (1024-65535).

These changes will ensure that the new subnet can communicate with the database, resolving the connectivity issues.

Question No. 2

A SysOps administrator manages a company's Amazon S3 buckets. The SysOps administrator has identified 5 GB of incomplete multipart uploads in an S3 bucket in the company's AWS account. The SysOps administrator needs to reduce the number of incomplete multipart upload objects in the S3 bucket.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

ACreate an S3 Lifecycle rule on the S3 bucket to delete expired markers or incomplete multipart uploads

BRequire users that perform uploads of files into Amazon S3 to use the S3 TransferUtility.

CEnable S3 Versioning on the S3 bucket that contains the incomplete multipart uploads.

DCreate an S3 Object Lambda Access Point to delete incomplete multipart uploads.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A

To manage incomplete multipart uploads in an Amazon S3 bucket, creating an S3 Lifecycle rule to specifically address these uploads is the most effective method. The rule can be configured to automatically delete expired multipart upload parts, which helps in cleaning up unused data and reducing storage costs. Option A is correct as it directly addresses the requirement to manage incomplete uploads effectively. Reference on setting up S3 Lifecycle policies can be found here Amazon S3 Lifecycle.

Question No. 3

A company uses an AWS CloudFormation template to provision an Amazon EC2 instance and an Amazon RDS DB instance A SysOps administrator must update the template to ensure that the DB instance is created before the EC2 instance is launched

What should the SysOps administrator do to meet this requirement?

AAdd a wait condition to the template Update the EC2 instance user data script to send a signal after the EC2 instance is started

BAdd the DependsOn attribute to the EC2 instance resource, and provide the logical name of the RDS resource

CChange the order of the resources in the template so that the RDS resource is listed before the EC2 instance resource

DCreate multiple templates Use AWS CloudFormation StackSets to wait for one stack to complete before the second stack is created

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-attribute-dependson.html

Syntax The DependsOn attribute can take a single string or list of strings. 'DependsOn' : [ String, ... ] Example The following template contains an AWS::EC2::Instance resource with a DependsOn attribute that specifies myDB, an AWS::RDS::DBInstance. When CloudFormation creates this stack, it first creates myDB, then creates Ec2Instance.

Question No. 4

A company's IT department noticed an increase in the spend of their developer AWS account. There are over 50 developers using the account, and the finance team wants to determine the service costs incurred by each developer.

What should a SysOps administrator do to collect this information? (Select TWO.)

AActivate the createdBy tag in the account.

BAnalyze the usage with Amazon CloudWatch dashboards.

CAnalyze the usage with Cost Explorer.

DConfigure AWS Trusted Advisor to track resource usage.

ECreate a billing alarm in AWS Budgets.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: A, C

To determine the service costs incurred by each developer, follow these steps:

Activate the createdBy Tag:

Tagging resources with a createdBy tag helps identify which user created the resource. This tag should be applied consistently across all resources created by the developers.

Analyze Usage with Cost Explorer:

Use Cost Explorer to filter and group cost and usage data by the createdBy tag. This provides a breakdown of costs incurred by each developer.

These two steps together will provide a detailed analysis of the costs incurred by each developer in the AWS account.

Question No. 5

A SysOps administrator needs to implement a backup strategy for Amazon EC2 resources and Amazon RDS resources. The backup strategy must meet the following retention requirements:

* Daily backups: must be kept for 6 days

* Weekly backups: must be kept for 4 weeks:

* Monthly backups: must be kept for 11 months

* Yearly backups: must be kept for 7 years

Which backup strategy will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative effort?

AUse Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to create an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshot policy. Create tags on each resource that needs to be backed up. Create multiple schedules according to the requirements within the policy. Set the appropriate frequency and retention period.

BUse AWS Backup to create a new backup plan for each retention requirement with a backup frequency of daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Set the retention period to match the requirement. Create tags on each resource that needs to be backed up. Set up resource assignment by using the tags.

CCreate an AWS Lambda function. Program the Lambda function to use native tooling to take backups of file systems in Amazon EC2 and to make copies of databases in Amazon RDS. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke the Lambda function.

DUse Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to create an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshot policy. Create tags on each resource that needs to be backed up. Set up resource assignment by using the tags. Create multiple schedules according to the requirements within the policy. Set the appropriate frequency and retention period. In Amazon RDS, activate automated backups on the required DB instances.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

AWS Backup provides a centralized way to manage backups across AWS services. Here's how to implement the required backup strategy with minimal administrative effort:

Create Backup Plans: Set up different backup plans in AWS Backup, each configured for a specific backup frequency---daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.

Set Retention Periods: For each backup plan, configure the retention settings to align with the required retention durations: 6 days, 4 weeks, 11 months, and 7 years respectively.

Tag Resources: Apply tags to each EC2 and RDS resource that needs to be backed up. This allows for the automated inclusion of these resources in the respective backup plans based on their tags.

Assign Resources to Backup Plans: Use the tags to define which resources are included in each backup plan, ensuring that all necessary resources are backed up according to the defined schedules and retention policies.
