AWS ASA EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
compute - Correct Answers -services replicating the traditional role of local physical
servers for the cloud, offering advanced configurations including autoscaling, load
balancing, and even serverless architecture
networking - Correct Answers -application connectivity, access control, and enhanced
remote connections
storage - Correct Answers -various kinds of storage platforms designed to fit a range of
both immediate accessibility and long-term backup needs
database - Correct Answers -managed data solutions for use cases requiring multiple
data formats: relational, NoSQL, or caching
application management - Correct Answers -monitoring, auditing, and configuring AWS
account services and running resources
security and identity - Correct Answers -services for managing authentication and
authorization, data and connection encryption, and integration with third-party
authentication management systems
Config - Correct Answers -a service designed to help you with change management and
compliance for your AWS account. You first define a desired configuration state, and it
will evaluate any future states against that idealK
IAM (Identity & Access Management) - Correct Answers -you use this to administrate
user access and authentication to your AWS account. You can control exactly who and
what can access and/or work with any of your AWS resources
Key Management Services (KMS) - Correct Answers -a managed service that allows
you to administrate the creation and use of encryption keys to secure data used by and
for any of your AWS resouces
AWS Compute Services (name them) - Correct Answers -- Elastic Compute Cloud
(EC2)
- Lambda
- Auto Scaling
, - Elastic Load Balancing
- Elastic Beanstalk
AWS Networking Services (name them) - Correct Answers -- Virtual Private Cloud
(VPC)
- Direct Connect
- Route53
- CloudFront
AWS Storage Services (name them) - Correct Answers -- Simple Storage Service (S3)
- S3 Glacier
- Elastic Block Store (EBS)
- Storage Gateway
AWS Database Services (name them) - Correct Answers -- Relational Databases
Service (RDS)
- DynamoDB
AWS Application Management Services (name them) - Correct Answers -- CloudWatch
- CloudFormation
- CloudTrail
- Config
AWS Security and Identity Services (name them) - Correct Answers -- Identity and
Access Management (IAM)
- Key Management Services (KMS)
- Directory Service
AWS Application Integration Services (name them) - Correct Answers -- Simple
Notification Service (SNS)
- Simple Workflow (SWF)
- Simple Queue Service (SQS)
- API Gateway
EC2 - Correct Answers -server instances that provide virtual versions of the servers you
would run in your local data center. They are resource efficient and deploy nearly
instantly
Lambda - Correct Answers -serverless application architecture which allows you to
provide responsive public-facing services without the need for a server thats actually
running 24/7. Instead, network events (like consumer requests) can trigger the
execution of a pre-defined code-based operation. When the operation (which runs up to
15 min) is completed, the event ends and all resources automatically shut down.
Auto Scaling - Correct Answers -copies of running EC2 instances can be defined as
image templates and automatically launched or scaled up when client demand can't be
