slide 2: Question: 1
You are currently hosting multiple applications in a VPC and have logged numerous port scans
coming in from a specific IP address block. Your security team has requested that all access from the
offending IP address block be denied for the next 24 hours.
Which of the following is the best method to quickly and temporarily deny access from the specified
IP address block
A. Create an AD policy to modify Windows Firewall settings on all hosts in the VPC to deny access
from the IP address block
B. Modify the Network ACLs associated with all public subnets in the VPC to deny access from the IP
address block
C. Add a rule to all of the VPC 5 Security Groups to deny access from the IP address block
D. Modify the Windows Firewall settings on all Amazon Machine Images AMIs that your
organization uses in that VPC to deny access from the IP address block
Answer: B
Question: 2
When preparing for a compliance assessment of your system built inside of AWS. what are three
best-practices for you to prepare for an audit Choose three.
A. Gather evidence of your IT operational controls
B. Request and obtain applicable third-party audited AWS compliance reports and certifications
C. Request and obtain a compliance and security tour of an AWS data center for a pre-assessment
security review
D. Request and obtain approval from AWS to perform relevant network scans and in-depth
penetration tests of your systems Instances and endpoints
E. Schedule meetings with AWSs third-party auditors to provide evidence of AWS compliance that
maps to your control objectives
Answer: ABD
Question: 3
You have started a new job and are reviewing your companys infrastructure on AWS You notice one
web application where they have an Elastic Load Balancer B in front of web instances in an Auto
Scaling Group When you check the metrics for the ELB in CloudWatch you see four healthy instances
in Availability Zone AZ A and zero in AZ B There are zero unhealthy instances.
What do you need to fix to balance the instances across AZs
slide 3: A. Set the ELB to only be attached to another AZ
B. Make sure Auto Scaling is configured to launch in both AZs
C. Make sure your AMI is available in both AZs
D. Make sure the maximum size of the Auto Scaling Group is greater than 4
Answer: B
Question: 4
You have been asked to leverage Amazon VPC BC2 and SOS to implement an application that submits
and receives millions of messages per second to a message queue. You want to ensure your
application has sufficient bandwidth between your EC2 instances and SQS
Which option will provide the most scalable solution for communicating between the application
and SQS
A. Ensure the application instances are properly configured with an Elastic Load Balancer
B. Ensure the application instances are launched in private subnets with the EBS-optimized option
enabled
C. Ensure the application instances are launched in public subnets with the associate-public-IPaddress
true option enabled
D. Launch application instances in private subnets with an Auto Scaling group and Auto Scaling
triggers configured to watch the SQS queue size
Answer: D
Explanation:
Bandwidth literally means network not IO Bandwidth. Having alerts to scale the Autoscaling is most
sophisticated option.
Question: 5
You have identified network throughput as a bottleneck on your m1.small EC2 instance when
uploading data Into Amazon S3 In the same region.
How do you remedy this situation
A. Add an additional ENI
B. Change to a larger Instance
C. Use DirectConnect between EC2 and S3
D. Use EBS PIOPS on the local volume
Answer: B

slide 4: Question: 6
When attached to an Amazon VPC which two components provide connectivity with external
networks Choose two.
A. Elastic IPS EIP
B. NAT Gateway NAT
C. Internet Gateway IGW
D. Virtual Private Gateway VGW
Answer: CD
Question: 7
Your application currently leverages AWS Auto Scaling to grow and shrink as load Increases/
decreases and has been performing well. Your marketing team expects a steady ramp up in traffic to
follow an upcoming campaign that will result in a 20x growth in traffic over 4 weeks. Your forecast for
the approximate number of Amazon EC2 instances necessary to meet the peak demand is 175.
What should you do to avoid potential service disruptions during the ramp up in traffic
A. Ensure that you have pre-allocated 175 Elastic IP addresses so that each server will be able to
obtain one as it launches
B. Check the service limits in Trusted Advisor and adjust as necessary so the forecasted count
remains within limits.
C. Change your Auto Scaling configuration to set a desired capacity of 175 prior to the launch of the
marketing campaign
D. Pre-warm your Elastic Load Balancer to match the requests per second anticipated during peak
demand prior to the marketing campaign
Answer: D
Explanation:
Amazon ELB is able to handle the vast majority of use cases for our customers without requiring
“prewarming”
configuring the load balancer to have the appropriate level of capacity based on
expected traffic.
Question: 8
You have an Auto Scaling group associated with an Elastic Load Balancer ELB. You have noticed that
instances launched via the Auto Scaling group are being marked unhealthy due to an ELB health
check but these unhealthy instances are not being terminated.
What do you need to do to ensure trial instances marked unhealthy by the ELB will be terminated
slide 5: and replaced
A. Change the thresholds set on the Auto Scaling group health check
B. Add an Elastic Load Balancing health check to your Auto Scaling group
C. Increase the value for the Health check interval set on the Elastic Load Balancer
D. Change the health check set on the Elastic Load Balancer to use TCP rather than HTTP checks
Answer: A
Question: 9
Which two AWS services provide out-of-the-box user configurable automatic backup-as-a-service
and backup rotation options Choose two.
A. Amazon S3
B. Amazon RDS
C. Amazon EBS
D. Amazon Red shift
Answer: BD
Explanation:
By default and at no additional charge Amazon RDS enables automated backups of your DB Instance
with a 1-day retention period.
By default Amazon Redshift enables automated backups of your data warehouse cluster with a 1-day
retention period.
Question: 10
An organization has configured a VPC with an Internet Gateway IGW. pairs of public and private
subnets each with one subnet per Availability Zone and an Elastic Load Balancer ELB configured
to use the public subnets. The application s web tier leverages the ELB. Auto Scaling and a mum-AZ
RDS database instance The organization would like to eliminate any potential single points ft failure
in this design.
What step should you take to achieve this organizations objective
A. Nothing there are no single points of failure in this architecture.
B. Create and attach a second IGW to provide redundant internet connectivity.
C. Create and configure a second Elastic Load Balancer to provide a redundant load balancer.
D. Create a second multi-AZ RDS instance in another Availability Zone and configure replication to
provide a redundant database.
Answer: A
slide 6: Explanation:
You need multiple ELB if you want HA across regions.
“AWS Load Balancer –Cross Network
Many times it happens that after setting up your ELB you experience significant drops in your
performance. The best way to handle this situation is to start with identifying whether your ELB is
single AZ or multiple AZ as single AZ ELB is also considered as one of the Single Points of Failures on
AWS Cloud. Once you identify your ELB it is necessary to make sure ELB loads are kept cross
regions.”
