, How to use this question bank
Complete each practice test before consulting its answer key. Select one answer unless the
question specifies multiple answers. Review the explanations for every option, then revisit the
topics you missed.
Each test has three sections: Questions, Quick answer key, and Answers with explanations.
Question numbering restarts at 1 for Test 2.
The questions and explanations retain the content of the Cloudpuz source question banks. Official reference links supplied
in those banks are preserved for further study. Service capabilities and exam objectives may evolve.

, Practice Test 1
Questions 1-75
Question 1 | Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A centralized inspection VPC uses stateful appliances, and return traffic takes a different path
from forward traffic. What architectural issue must be addressed?
A. Symmetric routing through the intended inspection path, using supported transit and
appliance settings
B. Only the number of CloudWatch dashboards
C. Only the appliances' hostname format
D. Disable every stateful check to avoid examining the path
Select 1 answer.
Question 2 | Design for New Solutions
A service needs to store objects that are frequently accessed initially and rarely accessed later,
with known retention rules. Which mechanism fits?
A. A DynamoDB sort key alone
B. S3 Lifecycle transitions and expiration configured for the workload's access and retention
needs
C. A manual weekly rename of every object
D. A larger EC2 instance to hold all historical objects
Select 1 answer.
Question 3 | Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions
A web application serves large static assets directly from its compute fleet to global users. What
improvement can reduce origin load and user latency?
A. Disable browser caching
B. Move suitable assets to object storage and deliver them through a CDN
C. Increase only the number of database replicas
D. Route all users through the most distant Region
Select 1 answer.

, Question 4 | Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A Direct Connect connection is the only link between a data center and AWS. The workload
requires continued connectivity during a device or location failure. What should change?
A. Increase only the bandwidth of the existing connection
B. Add a second virtual interface on the same physical path and assume full physical diversity
C. Use a longer BGP hold timer as the sole resilience measure
D. Add appropriately diverse redundant connectivity and test routing failover
Select 1 answer.
Question 5 | Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company has an internal service accessed across Regions. It is considering a single central
deployment to reduce cost. What must be weighed?
A. Inter-Region latency, transfer cost, regional failure dependency, and consistency or
operational requirements
B. Choose solely by the number of deployed stacks
C. Ignore the service's users because it is internal
D. Assume cross-Region calls have no latency or cost
Select 1 answer.
Question 6 | Design for New Solutions
A large-scale batch workload can checkpoint and tolerate interruption. What purchasing strategy
can reduce compute cost while maintaining flexibility?
A. A long-term commitment before understanding usage patterns
B. Only the most expensive fixed instance type in one zone
C. Spot capacity across diversified suitable pools with interruption handling
D. Assume Spot is suitable for every non-checkpointable critical stateful task
Select 1 answer.
Question 7 | Accelerate Workload Migration and Modernization
A migration team groups applications into waves only by server name. What critical information is
missing?
A. Only alphabetical ordering of database names
B. Only the preferred desktop theme of the migration engineer
C. Application dependencies, business criticality, data flows, and cutover constraints
D. Only the number of screenshots in the runbook
Select 1 answer.
