Which deliver methods does AWS SNS support? - correct answer HTTP/S POST to
a URL
Email/Email-JSON
SQS standard queue
SMS (text message)
Why is AWS more economical than traditional data centers for applications with varying
compute workloads? - correct answer EC2 instances can be launched on-demand
when needed
scaling too
The concept of elasticity is most closely associated with which of the following?
A. ELB
B. Auto Scaling
C. network security
D. serverless computing - correct answer B
Auto scaling maintains application availability and allows for automatic scaling of an
EC2 instance based on user-defined conditions
A company wants to launch an application to support a one-day campaign without
interruption. The instances would not be needed after 24 hours. Which EC2 instance
type would fulfill the requirement?
A. Reserved
,B. Spot
C. Dedicated
D. On-demand - correct answer D
On-demand instances allow you to increase/decrease as needed, they charge for
compute capacity per hour, and they do not have any long-term commitments
A company wants to implement best practices on AWS. Which implementation would
help to eliminate single point of failure?
A. ElastiCache Memcached deployment
B. RDS Single-AZ deployment
C. EC2 instances on a single AZ
D. ElastiCache Redis deployment - correct answer D
1. Rule out any single-AZ deployments
2. Memcached does not support replication so a downed node will result in some data
loss
ElastiCache Redis: supports Multi-AZ deployment with automatic failover
A company launched a new app within a single region, but intended for global use.
What service can help provide low latency access with the best possible performance
on a global scale?
A. Route 53
B. CloudWatch
C. CloudFront
D. Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) - correct answer C
,CloudFront uses Edge locations to redirect users to the nearest location where the data
is stored which provides for low latency
What is the difference between an AZ and an edge location?
A. Edge locations are used as control stations for AWS resources
B. An edge location is used as a link when building load balancing between regions
C. An AZ is a grouping of AWS resources in a specific region; an edge location is a
specific resource within a region
D. An AZ is an Amazon resource within a region; an edge location will deliver cached
content to the closest location to reduce redundancy - correct answer D
Which AWS services belong to the Storage services? Choose 2:
A. EBS
B. CloudFront
C. IAM
D. DynamoDB
E. Storage Gateway - correct answer A, E
AWS provides the storage services:
S3
EBS
EFS
Glacier
Storage Gateway
What does Amazon SQS provide?
, A. An asynchronous message queue service
B. Simply Query Server, managed directly by AWS
C. A synchronous message queue service
D. None - correct answer A
SQS is a reliable, scalable web service that gives access to message queues that store
messages awaiting processing, or those in transit between computers
What service allows you to have your own private network in the AWS cloud?
A. VCN
B. VPN
C. VPC
D. none - correct answer C
Virtual Private Cloud lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS cloud
where you can launch resources in a virtual network that you define
Which AWS RDS feature helps a standby database takeover when the primary fails to
respond?
A. RDS Single-AZ
B. RDS Read Replica
C. RDS Multi-AZ
D. RDS Standby replica - correct answer C
When you provision a Multi-AZ DB instance, RDS automatically creates a primary
instance and synchronously replicates the data to a standby instance in a different AZ
