Q1. - (Topic 3) 

An organization is planning to create a user with IAM. They are trying to understand the limitations of IAM so that they can plan accordingly. Which of the below mentioned statements is not true with respect to the 

limitations of IAM? 

A. One IAM user can be a part of a maximum of 5 groups 

B. The organization can create 100 groups per AWS account 

C. One AWS account can have a maximum of 5000 IAM users 

D. One AWS account can have 250 roles 

Answer:

Explanation: 

AWS Identity and Access Management is a web service which allows organizations to manage users and user permissions for various AWS services. The default maximums for each of the IAM entities is given below: Groups per AWS account: 100 Users per AWS account: 5000 Roles per AWS account: 250 Number of groups per user: 10 (that is, one user can be part of these many groups. 

Q2. - (Topic 3) 

An organization has configured Auto Scaling with ELB. One of the instance health check returns the status as Impaired to Auto Scaling. What will Auto Scaling do in this scenario? 

A. Perform a health check until cool down before declaring that the instance has failed 

B. Terminate the instance and launch a new instance 

C. Notify the user using SNS for the failed state 

D. Notify ELB to stop sending traffic to the impaired instance 

Answer:

Explanation: 

The Auto Scaling group determines the health state of each instance periodically by checking the results of the Amazon EC2 instance status checks. If the instance status description shows any other state other than “running” or the system status description shows impaired, Auto Scaling considers the instance to be unhealthy. Thus, it terminates the instance and launches a replacement. 

Q3. - (Topic 3) 

A user is configuring the Multi AZ feature of an RDS DB. The user came to know that this RDS DB does not use the AWS technology, but uses server mirroring to achieve HA. Which DB is the user using right now? 

A. My SQL 

B. Oracle 

C. MS SQL 

D. PostgreSQL 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Amazon RDS provides high availability and failover support for DB instances using Multi AZ deployments. In a Multi AZ deployment, Amazon RDS automatically provisions and maintains a synchronous standby replica in a different Availability Zone. Multi AZ deployments for Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL DB instances use Amazon technology, while SQL Server (MS SQL. DB instances use SQL Server Mirroring. 

Q4. - (Topic 3) 

A user has created a VPC with the public and private subnets using the VPC wizard. The VPC has CIDR 

20.0.0.0/16. The public subnet uses CIDR 20.0.1.0/24. The user is planning to host a web server in the public subnet (port 80. and a DB server in the private subnet (port 3306.. The user is configuring a security group for the public subnet (WebSecGrp. and the private subnet (DBSecGrp.. Which of the below mentioned entries is required in the private subnet database security group (DBSecGrp.? 

A. Allow Inbound on port 3306 for Source Web Server Security Group (WebSecGrp. 

B. Allow Inbound on port 3306 from source 20.0.0.0/16 

C. Allow Outbound on port 3306 for Destination Web Server Security Group (WebSecGrp. 

D. Allow Outbound on port 80 for Destination NAT Instance IP 

Answer:

Explanation: 

A user can create a subnet with VPC and launch instances inside that subnet. If the user has created a public private subnet to host the web server and DB server respectively, the user should configure that the instances in the private subnet can receive inbound traffic from the public subnet on the DB port. Thus, configure port 3306 in Inbound with the source as the Web Server Security Group (WebSecGrp.. The user should configure ports 80 and 443 for Destination 0.0.0.0/0 as the route table directs traffic to the NAT instance from the private subnet. 

Q5. - (Topic 2) 

A user has launched an EBS backed instance. The user started the instance at 9 AM in the morning. Between 9 AM to 10 AM, the user is testing some script. Thus, he stopped the instance twice and restarted it. In the same hour the user rebooted the instance once. For how many instance hours will AWS charge the user? 

A. 3 hours 

B. 4 hours 

C. 2 hours 

D. 1 hour 

Answer:

Explanation: 

A user can stop/start or reboot an EC2 instance using the AWS console, the Amazon EC2 CLI or the Amazon EC2 API. Rebooting an instance is equivalent to rebooting an operating system. When the instance is rebooted AWS will not charge the user for the extra hours. In case the user stops the instance, AWS does not charge the running cost but charges only the EBS storage cost. If the user starts and stops the instance multiple times in a single hour, AWS will charge the user for every start and stop. In this case, since the instance was rebooted twice, it will cost the user for 3 instance hours. 

Q6. - (Topic 2) 

A user is trying to aggregate all the CloudWatch metric data of the last 1 week. Which of the below mentioned statistics is not available for the user as a part of data aggregation? 

A. Aggregate 

B. Sum 

C. Sample data 

D. Average 

Answer:

Explanation: 

Amazon CloudWatch is basically a metrics repository. Either the user can send the custom data or an AWS product can put metrics into the repository, and the user can retrieve the statistics based on those metrics. The statistics are metric data aggregations over specified periods of time. Aggregations are made using the namespace, metric name, dimensions, and the data point unit of measure, within the time period that is specified by the user. CloudWatch supports Sum, Min, Max, Sample Data and Average statistics aggregation. 

Q7. - (Topic 2) 

A user is trying to save some cost on the AWS services. Which of the below mentioned options will not help him save cost? 

A. Delete the unutilized EBS volumes once the instance is terminated 

B. Delete the AutoScaling launch configuration after the instances are terminated 

C. Release the elastic IP if not required once the instance is terminated 

D. Delete the AWS ELB after the instances are terminated 

Answer:

Explanation: 

AWS bills the user on a as pay as you go model. AWS will charge the user once the AWS resource is allocated. Even though the user is not using the resource, AWS will charge if it is in service or allocated. Thus, it is advised that once the user’s work is completed he should: Terminate the EC2 instance Delete the EBS volumes Release the unutilized Elastic IPs Delete ELB The AutoScaling launch configuration does not cost the user. Thus, it will not make any difference to the cost whether it is deleted or not. 

Q8. - (Topic 3) 

You have private video content in S3 that you want to serve to subscribed users on the Internet. User IDs, credentials, and subscriptions are stored in an Amazon RDS database. 

Which configuration will allow you to securely serve private content to your users? 

A. Generate pre-signed URLs for each user as they request access to protected S3 content 

B. Create an IAM user for each subscribed user and assign the GetObject permission to each IAM user 

C. Create an S3 bucket policy that limits access to your private content to only your subscribed users' credentials 

D. Create a CloudFront Origin Identity user for your subscribed users and assign the GetObject permission to this user

Q9. - (Topic 3) 

A user is trying to understand the detailed CloudWatch monitoring concept. Which of the below mentioned services does not provide detailed monitoring with CloudWatch? 

A. AWS EMR 

B. AWS RDS 

C. AWS ELB 

D. AWS Route53 

Answer:

Explanation: 

CloudWatch is used to monitor AWS as well as the custom services. It provides either basic or detailed monitoring for the supported AWS products. In basic monitoring, a service sends data points to CloudWatch every five minutes, while in detailed monitoring a service sends data points to CloudWatch every minute. Services, such as RDS, EC2, Auto Scaling, ELB, and Route 53 can provide the monitoring data every minute. 

Q10. - (Topic 1) 

Your EC2-Based Multi-tier application includes a monitoring instance that periodically makes application -level read only requests of various application components and if any of those fail more than three times 30 seconds calls CloudWatch lo fire an alarm, and the alarm notifies your operations team by email and SMS of a possible application health problem. However, you also need to watch the watcher -the monitoring instance itself - and be notified if it becomes unhealthy. 

Which of the following is a simple way to achieve that goal? 

A. Run another monitoring instance that pings the monitoring instance and fires a could watch alarm mat notifies your operations teamshould the primary monitoring instance become unhealthy. 

B. Set a CloudWatch alarm based on EC2 system and instance status checks and have the alarm notify your operations team of any detected problem with the monitoring instance. 

C. Set a CloudWatch alarm based on the CPU utilization of the monitoring instance and nave the alarm notify your operations team if C r the CPU usage exceeds 50% few more than one minute: then have your monitoring application go into a CPU-bound loop should it Detect any application problems. 

D. Have the monitoring instances post messages to an SOS queue and then dequeue those messages on another instance should the queue cease to have new messages, the second instance should first terminate the original monitoring instance start anotherbackup monitoring instance and assume (he role of the previous monitoring instance and beginning adding messages to the SQSqueue.
