QUESTION 251
You have a distributed application that periodically processes large volumes of data across multiple Amazon EC2 Instances. The application is designed to recover gracefully from Amazon EC2 instance failures. You are required to accomplish this task in the most cost-effective way.
Which of the following will meet your requirements?
A. Spot Instances
B. Reserved instances
C. Dedicated instances
D. On-Demand instances
Answer: A
Explanation:
Using reserved instances is not the most cost-effective way.
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-scheduled-reserved-instances/
“Scheduled Reserved Instance model allows you to reserve instances for predefined blocks of time on a recurring basis for a one-year term, with prices that are generally 5 to 10% lower than the equivalent On-Demand rates.”
You can get spot instances with much lower prices:
https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/pricing/
“Spot instances are also available to run for a predefined duration – in hourly increments up to six hours in length – at a significant discount (30-45%) compared to On-Demand pricing plus an additional 5% during off-peak times for a total of up to 50% savings.”
QUESTION 252
Which of the following are true regarding AWS CloudTrail? Choose 3 answers
A. CloudTrail is enabled globally
B. CloudTrail is enabled by default
C. CloudTrail is enabled on a per-region basis
D. CloudTrail is enabled on a per-service basis.
E. Logs can be delivered to a single Amazon S3 bucket for aggregation.
F. CloudTrail is enabled for all available services within a region.
G. Logs can only be processed and delivered to the region in which they are generated.
Answer: ACE
Explanation:
A:have a trail with the Apply trail to all regions option enabled.
C:have multiple single region trails.
E: Log files from all the regions can be delivered to a single S3 bucket
Global service events are always delivered to trails that have the Apply trail to all regions option enabled. Events are delivered from a single region to the bucket for the trail. This setting cannot be changed.
If you have a single region trail, you should enable the Include global services option.
If you have multiple single region trails, you should enable the Include global services option in only one of the trails.
D Incorrect: once enabled it is applicable for all the supported services, service can’t be selected
QUESTION 253

D. The load balancer is not configured in a private subnet with a NAT instance.
E. The VPC does not have a VGW configured.
Answer: AC
Explanation:
There is no such thing as VGW. Hence E is not correct answer.

A company needs to deploy services to an AWS region which they have not previously used. The company currently has an AWS identity and Access Management (IAM) role for the Amazon EC2 instances, which permits the instance to have access to Amazon DynamoDB.

A. SAML-based Identity Federation
B. Cross-Account Access
C. AWS Identity and Access Management roles
D. Web Identity Federation

AWS STS web identity federation supports Login with Amazon, Facebook, Google, and any OpenID Connect (OICD)-compatible identity provider.
QUESTION 264
You have an application running on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud instance, that uploads 5 GB video objects to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Video uploads are taking longer than expected, resulting in poor application performance.
Which method will help improve performance of your application?
A. Enable enhanced networking
B. Use Amazon S3 multipart upload
C. Leveraging Amazon CloudFront, use the HTTP POST method to reduce latency.
D. Use Amazon Elastic Block Store Provisioned IOPs and use an Amazon EBS-optimized instance
Answer: B
Explanation:
Using multipart upload provides the following advantages:
– Improved throughput – You can upload parts in parallel to improve throughput.
– Quick recovery from any network issues – Smaller part size minimizes the impact of restarting a failed upload due to a network error.
– Pause and resume object uploads – You can upload object parts over time. Once you initiate a multipart upload there is no expiry; you must explicitly complete or abort the multipart upload.
– Begin an upload before you know the final object size – You can upload an object as you are creating it.

QUESTION 265
A customer wants to track access to their Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets and also use this information for their internal security and access audits. Which of the following will meet the Customer requirement?
A. Enable AWS CloudTrail to audit all Amazon S3 bucket access.
B. Enable server access logging for all required Amazon S3 buckets.
C. Enable the Requester Pays option to track access via AWS Billing
D. Enable Amazon S3 event notifications for Put and Post.
Answer: B
Explanation:
If its just for internal audit, then Server access logging, I assume is sufficient:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/ServerLogs.html
For external audits I would go for CloudTrail:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/cloudtrail-logging.html
QUESTION 266
A company is deploying a two-tier, highly available web application to AWS. Which service provides durable storage for static content while utilizing lower Overall CPU resources for the web tier?
A. Amazon EBS volume
B. Amazon S3
C. Amazon EC2 instance store
D. Amazon RDS instance
Answer: B
QUESTION 267
You are designing a web application that stores static assets in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. You expect this bucket to immediately receive over 150 PUT requests per second. What should you do to ensure optimal performance?
A. Use multi-part upload.
B. Add a random prefix to the key names.
C. Amazon S3 will automatically manage performance at this scale.
D. Use a predictable naming scheme, such as sequential numbers or date time sequences, in the key names
Answer: B
Explanation:
If you anticipate that your workload will consistently exceed 100 requests per second, you should avoid sequential key names. If you must use sequential numbers or date and time patterns in key names, add a random prefix to the key name. The randomness of the prefix more evenly distributes key names across multiple index partitions. Examples of introducing randomness are provided later in this topic.
QUESTION 268
When will you incur costs with an Elastic IP address (EIP)?
A. When an EIP is allocated.
B. When it is allocated and associated with a running instance.
C. When it is allocated and associated with a stopped instance.
D. Costs are incurred regardless of whether the EIP is associated with a running instance.
Answer: C
Explanation:
You are allowed one EIP to be attached to a running instance at no charge. otherwise, it will incur a small fee. in this case, the instance is stopped, and thus, the EIP will be billed at the normal rate.
