Question 1

The SysOps administrator needs to resolve high disk I/O issues during the bootstrap process of Nitro-based EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group with gp3 EBS volumes. Options (Select TWO):

A : Increase the EC2 instance size.

B : Increase the EBS volume capacity.

C : Increase the EBS volume IOPS.

D : Increase the EBS volume throughput.

E : Change the instance type to an instance that is not Nitro-based.

Answer: C,D

Question 2

A company has a workload that runs on several Amazon EC2 instances. The company must retain the workload's system logs and application logs for 13 months. The logs must be available for the entire 13 months. The termination of an EC2 instance must not result in the loss of log information. Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Create an Amazon S3 bucket Apply a bucket policy to expire objects after 13 months. Schedule a shell script to periodically copy the logs to the S3 bucket Ensure that the attached instance profile has permissions to copy logs to the S3 bucket.

B : Create a log group in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Specify an Expire Events After value of 13 months. Configure the syslog protocol on the EC2 instances to push the logs to the log group. Ensure that the attached instance profile has permissions to push logs to the log group.

C : Create an Amazon S3 bucket. Apply a bucket policy to expire objects after 13 months. Deploy the unified Amazon CloudWatch agent onto the EC2 instances. Configure the agent to store the logs in the S3 bucket. Ensure that the attached instance profile has permissions to store objects in the S3 bucket,

D : Create a log group in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Specify an Expire Events After value of 13 months Deploy the unified CloudWatch agent onto the EC2 instances. Configure the agent to push the logs to the log group. Ensure that the attached instance profile has permissions to push logs to the log group.

Answer: D

Question 3

A SysOps administrator is examining the following AWS CloudFormation template:

Why will the stack creation fail?

A : The Outputs section of the CloudFormation template was omitted.

B : The Parameters section of the CloudFormation template was omitted.

C : The PrivateDnsName cannot be set from a CloudFormation template.

D : The VPC was not specified in the CloudFormation template.

Answer: C

Question 4

A company has a cluster of Linux Amazon EC2 Spot Instances that read many files from and write many files to attached Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. The EC2 instances are frequently started and stopped. As part of the process when an EC2 instance starts, an EBS volume is restored from a snapshot.

EBS volumes that are restored from snapshots are experiencing initial performance that is lower than expected. The company's workload needs almost all the provisioned IOPS on the attached EBS volumes. The EC2 instances are unable to support the workload when the performance of the EBS volumes is too low. A SysOps administrator must implement a solution to ensure that the EBS volumes provide the expected performance when they are restored from snapshots.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Configure fast snapshot restore (FSR) on the snapshots that are used.

B : Restore each snapshot onto an unencrypted EBS volume. Encrypt the EBS volume when the performance stabilizes.

C : Format the EBS volumes as XFS file systems before restoring the snapshots.

D : Increase the Linux read-ahead buffer to 1 MiB.

Answer: A

Question 5

An errant process is known to use an entire processor and run at 100%. A SysOps administrator wants to automate restarting the instance once the problem occurs for more than 2 minutes.
How can this be accomplished?

A : Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for the Amazon EC2 instance with basic monitoring. Enable an action to restart the instance.

B : Create a CloudWatch alarm for the EC2 instance with detailed monitoring. Enable an action to restart the instance.

C : Create an AWS Lambda function to restart the EC2 instance, triggered on a scheduled basis every 2 minutes.

D : Create a Lambda function to restart the EC2 instance, triggered by EC2 health checks.

Answer: B
