QUESTION 230
A customer needs to capture all client connection information from their load balancer every five minutes. The company wants to use this data for analyzing traffic patterns and troubleshooting their applications. Which of the following options meets the customer requirements?
A. Enable AWS CloudTrail for the load balancer.
B. Enable access logs on the load balancer.
C. Install the Amazon CloudWatch Logs agent on the load balancer.

Elastic Load Balancing access logs
The access logs for Elastic Load Balancing capture detailed information for all requests made to your load balancer and stores them as log files in the Amazon S3 bucket that you specify. Each log contains details such as the time a request was received, the client’s IP address, latencies, request path, and server responses. You can use these access logs to analyze traffic patterns and to troubleshoot your back-end applications. For more information, see Monitor Your Load Balancer Using Elastic Load Balancing Access Logs.
QUESTION 231
If you want to launch Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances and assign each instance a predetermined private IP address you should:
A. Launch the instance from a private Amazon Machine Image (AMI).
B. Assign a group of sequential Elastic IP address to the instances.
C. Launch the instances in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
D. Launch the instances in a Placement Group.
E. Use standard EC2 instances since each instance gets a private Domain Name Service (DNS) already.

QUESTION 232
You need to configure an Amazon S3 bucket to serve static assets for your public-facing web application. Which methods ensure that all objects uploaded to the bucket are set to public read? Choose 2 answers
A. Set permissions on the object to public read during upload.
B. Configure the bucket ACL to set all objects to public read.
C. Configure the bucket policy to set all objects to public read.
D. Use AWS Identity and Access Management roles to set the bucket to public read.
E. Amazon S3 objects default to public read, so no action is needed.
Answer: AC
Explanation:
https://aws.amazon.com/articles/5050
You can use ACLs to grant permissions to individual AWS accounts; however, it is strongly recommended that you do not grant public access to your bucket using an ACL.
So the recommended approach is create bucket policy, but not ACL.
Following link give you an example about how to make the bucket content public.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/HostingWebsiteOnS3Setup.html#step2-add-bucket-policy-make-content-public
QUESTION 233

QUESTION 234
Which procedure for backing up a relational database on EC2 that is using a set of RAlDed EBS volumes for storage minimizes the time during which the database cannot be written to and results in a consistent backup?
A. 1. Detach EBS volumes, 2. Start EBS snapshot of volumes, 3. Re-attach EBS volumes
B. 1. Stop the EC2 Instance. 2. Snapshot the EBS volumes
C. 1. Suspend disk I/O, 2. Create an image of the EC2 Instance, 3. Resume disk I/O
D. 1. Suspend disk I/O, 2. Start EBS snapshot of volumes, 3. Resume disk I/O
E. 1. Suspend disk I/O, 2. Start EBS snapshot of volumes, 3. Wait for snapshots to complete, 4. Resume disk I/O
Answer: B
Explanation:
https://aws.amazon.com/cn/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/snapshot-ebs-raid-array/
To create an “application-consistent” snapshot of your RAID array, stop applications from writing to the RAID array, and flush all caches to disk. Then ensure that the associated EC2 instance is no longer writing to the RAID array by taking steps such as freezing the file system, unmounting the RAID array, or *shutting down the associated EC2 instance*. After completing the steps to halt all I/O, take a snapshot of each EBS volume.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-detaching-volume.html
You can detach an Amazon EBS volume from an instance explicitly or by terminating the instance. However, if the instance is running, you must first unmount the volume from the instance.”
QUESTION 235

B. Virtual Private Network connection. AWS Directory Services, and Amazon Workspaces
C. AWS Directory Service, Amazon Workspaces, and AWS Identity and Access Management
D. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, and AWS Identity and Access Management
Answer: B
Explanation:
To enable integration, you need to ensure that your domain is reachable via an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud VPC (this could mean that Active Directory domain controllers for your domain are running on Amazon EC2 instances, or that they are reachable via a VPN connection and are located in your on-premises network).

QUESTION 238
You are configuring your company’s application to use Auto Scaling and need to move user state information. Which of the following AWS services provides a shared data store with durability and low latency?
A. AWS ElastiCache Memcached
B. Amazon Simple Storage Service
C. Amazon EC2 instance storage
D. Amazon DynamoDB
Answer: D
Explanation:
https://media.amazonwebservices.com/AWS_Storage_Options.pdf
To speed access to relevant data, many developers pair Amazon S3 with a database, such as Amazon DynamoDB or Amazon RDS. Amazon S3 stores the actual information, and the database serves as the repository for associated metadata (e.g., object name, size, keywords, and so on). Metadata in the database can easily be indexed and queried, making it very efficient to locate an object’s reference via a database query. This result can then be used to pinpoint and then retrieve the object itself from Amazon S3.
QUESTION 239
Which features can be used to restrict access to data in S3? Choose 2 answers
A. Set an S3 ACL on the bucket or the object.
B. Create a CloudFront distribution for the bucket.
C. Set an S3 bucket policy.
D. Enable IAM Identity Federation
E. Use S3 Virtual Hosting
Answer: AC
Explanation:
Amazon S3 is secure by default. Only the bucket and object owners originally have access to Amazon S3 resources they create. Amazon S3 supports user authentication to control access to data. You can use access control mechanisms such as bucket policies and Access Control Lists (ACLs) to selectively grant permissions to users and groups of users. You can securely upload/download your data to Amazon S3 via SSL endpoints using the HTTPS protocol. If you need extra security you can use the Server Side Encryption (SSE) option or the Server Side Encryption with Customer-Provide Keys (SSE-C) option to encrypt data stored-at-rest. Amazon S3 provides the encryption technology for both SSE and SSE-C. Alternatively you can use your own encryption libraries to encrypt data before storing it in Amazon S3.

C. It can be applied to instances launched by Auto Scaling
D. It is specific to an instance Type
E. It can be used to lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a system
Answer: ACE
Explanation:

QUESTION 241
Which Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud feature can you query from within the instance to access instance properties?
A. Instance user data
B. Resource tags
C. Instance metadata
D. Amazon Machine Image
Answer: C
Explanation:
Although you can only access instance metadata and user data from within the instance itself, the data is not protected by cryptographic methods
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-metadata.html#instancedata-data-retrieval
QUESTION 242
Which of the following requires a custom CloudWatch metric to monitor?
A. Memory Utilization of an EC2 instance
B. CPU Utilization of an EC2 instance
C. Disk usage activity of an EC2 instance
D. Data transfer of an EC2 instance
Answer: A
Explanation:
CloudWatch relies on the information provided by this hypervisor, which can only see the most hardware-sided part of the instance’s status, including CPU usage (but not load), total memory size (but not memory usage), number of I/O operations on the hard disks (but not it’s partition layout and space usage) and network traffic (but not the processes generating it).

QUESTION 247
An Auto-Scaling group spans 3 AZs and currently has 4 running EC2 instances.
When Auto Scaling needs to terminate an EC2 instance by default, AutoScaling will:
Choose 2 answers
A. Allow at least five minutes for Windows/Linux shutdown scripts to complete, before terminating the instance.
B. Terminate the instance with the least active network connections. If multiple instances meet this criterion, one will be randomly selected.
C. Send an SNS notification, if configured to do so.
D. Terminate an instance in the AZ which currently has 2 running EC2 instances.
E. Randomly select one of the 3 AZs, and then terminate an instance in that AZ.
Answer: CD
Explanation:
Auto Scaling determines whether there are instances in multiple Availability Zones. If so, it selects the Availability Zone with the most instances and at least one instance that is not protected from scale in.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AutoScaling/latest/DeveloperGuide/AutoScalingBehavior.InstanceTermination.html
QUESTION 248
When an EC2 instance that is backed by an S3-based AMI is terminated, what happens to the data on the root volume?
A. Data is automatically saved as an EBS snapshot.
B. Data is automatically saved as an EBS volume.
C. Data is unavailable until the instance is restarted.
D. Data is automatically deleted.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Using the legacy S3 based AMIs, either of the above terminates the instance and you lose all local and ephemeral storage (boot disk and /mnt) forever. Hope you remembered to save the important stuff elsewhere!
QUESTION 249

A. Multiple Availability Zones
B. AWS Direct Connect
C. EC2 Dedicated Instances
D. Placement Groups
E. VPC private subnets
Answer: D
Explanation:
A placement group is a logical grouping of instances within a single Availability Zone. Using placement groups enables applications to participate in a low-latency, 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) network.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/placement-groups.html
QUESTION 250
You have an environment that consists of a public subnet using Amazon VPC and 3 instances that are running in this subnet. These three instances can successfully communicate with other hosts on the Internet. You launch a fourth instance in the same subnet, using the same AMI and security group configuration you used for the others, but find that this instance cannot be accessed from the internet.
What should you do to enable Internet access?
A. Deploy a NAT instance into the public subnet.
B. Assign an Elastic IP address to the fourth instance.
C. Configure a publically routable IP Address in the host OS of the fourth instance.
D. Modify the routing table for the public subnet.
Answer: B
Explanation:
You launched your instance into a public subnet – a subnet that has a route to an Internet gateway. However, the instance in your subnet also needs a public IP address to be able to communicate with the Internet. By default, an instance in a nondefault VPC is not assigned a public IP address. In this step, you’ll allocate an Elastic IP address to your account, and then associate it with your instance.
