Q1. An EC2 instance is connected to an ENI (Elastic Network Interface) in one subnet. What happens when you attach an ENI of a different subnet to this EC2 instance?

A. The EC2 instance follows the rules of the older subnet

B. The EC2 instance follows the rules of both the subnets

C. Not possible, cannot be connected to 2 ENIs

D. The EC2 instance follows the rules of the newer subnet 

Answer: B

Explanation:

AWS allows you create an elastic network interface (ENI), attach an ENI to an EC2 instance, detach an ENI from an EC2 instance and attach this ENI to another EC2 instance. The attributes of a network traffic follow the ENI which is attached to an EC2 instance or detached from an EC2 instance. When you move an ENI from one EC2 instance to another, network traffic is redirected to the new EC2 instance. You can create and attach additional ENIs to an EC2 instance.

Attaching multiple network interfaces (ENIs) to an EC2 instance is useful to: Create a management network.

Use network and security appliances in your VPC.

Create dual-homed instances with workloads/roles on distinct subnets Create a low-budget, high-availability solution.

Q2. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)?

A. It can be used to launch as many or as few virtual servers as you need.

B. It increases the need to forecast traffic by providing dynamic IP addresses for static cloud computing.

C. It eliminates your need to invest in hardware up front, so you can develop and deploy applications faster.

D. It offers scalable computing capacity in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. 

Answer: B

Explanation:

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides scalable computing capacity in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Using Amazon EC2 eliminates your need to invest in hardware up front, so you  can develop and deploy applications faster. You can use Amazon EC2 to launch as many or as few virtual servers as you need, configure security and networking, and manage storage. Amazon EC2 enables you

to scale up or down to handle changes in requirements or spikes in popularity, reducing your need to forecast traffic.

Q3. Amazon EBS provides the ability to create backups of any Amazon EC2 volume into what is known as

A. snapshots

B. images

C. instance backups

D. mirrors 

Answer: A

Explanation:

Amazon allows you to make backups of the data stored in your EBS volumes through snapshots that can later be used to create a new EBS volume.

Q4. Can we attach an EBS volume to more than one EC2 instance at the same time?

A. Yes.

B. No

C. Only EC2-optimized EBS volumes.

D. Only in read mode.

Answer: A


Q5. Is it possible to get a history of all EC2 API calls made on your account for security analysis and operational troubleshooting purposes?

A. Yes, by default, the history of your API calls is logged.

B. Yes, you should turn on the CIoudTraiI in the AWS console.

C. No, you can only get a history of VPC API calls.

D. No, you cannot store history of EC2 API calls on Amazon.

Answer: B

Explanation:

To get a history of all EC2 API calls (including VPC and EBS) made on your account, you simply turn on C|oudTrai| in the AWS Management Console.

Q7. In Route 53, what does a Hosted Zone refer to?

A. A hosted zone is a collection of geographical load balancing rules for Route 53.

B. A hosted zone is a collection of resource record sets hosted by Route 53.

C. A hosted zone is a selection of specific resource record sets hosted by CIoudFront for distribution to Route 53.

D. A hosted zone is the Edge Location that hosts the Route 53 records for a user. 

Answer: B

Explanation:

Q8. A friend wants you to set up a small BitTorrent storage area for him on Amazon S3. You tell him it is highly unlikely that AWS would allow such a thing in their infrastructure. However you decide to investigate. Which of the following statements best describes using BitTorrent with Amazon S3?

A. Amazon S3 does not support the BitTorrent protocol because it is used for pirated software.

B. You can use the BitTorrent protocol but only for objects that are less than 100 GB in size.

C. You can use the BitTorrent protocol but you need to ask AWS for specific permissions first.

D. You can use the BitTorrent protocol but only for objects that are less than 5 GB in size. 

Answer: D

Explanation:

BitTorrent is an open, peer-to-peer protocol for distributing files. You can use the BitTorrent protocol to retrieve any publicly-accessible object in Amazon S3.

Amazon S3 supports the BitTorrent protocol so that developers can save costs when distributing content at high scale. Amazon S3 is useful for simple, reliable storage of any data. The default distribution mechanism for Amazon S3 data is via client/server download. In client/server distribution, the entire object is transferred point-to-point from Amazon S3 to every authorized user who requests that object. While client/server delivery is appropriate for a wide variety of use cases, it is not optimal for everybody. Specifically, the costs of client/server distribution increase linearly as the number of users downloading objects increases. This can make it expensive to distribute popular objects.

BitTorrent addresses this problem by recruiting the very clients that are downloading the object as distributors themselves: Each client downloads some pieces of the object from Amazon S3 and some from other clients, while simultaneously uploading pieces of the same object to other interested "peers." The benefit for publishers is that for large, popular files the amount of data actually supplied by Amazon S3 can be substantially lower than what it would have been sewing the same clients via client/server download. Less data transferred means lower costs for the publisher of the object.

Q9. While creating an Amazon RDS DB, your first task is to set up a DB _ that controls what IP addresses or EC2 instances have access to your DB Instance.

A. Security Pool

B. Secure Zone

C. Security Token Pool

D. Security Group 

Answer: D


Q10. You are signed in as root user on your account but there is an Amazon S3 bucket under your account that you cannot access. What is a possible reason for this?

A. An IAM user assigned a bucket policy to an Amazon S3 bucket and didn't specify the root user as a principal

B. The S3 bucket is full.

C. The S3 bucket has reached the maximum number of objects allowed.

D. You are in the wrong availability zone 

Answer: A

Explanation:

With IAM, you can centrally manage users, security credentials such as access keys, and permissions that control which AWS resources users can access.

In some cases, you might have an IAM user with full access to IAM and Amazon S3. If the IAM user assigns a bucket policy to an Amazon S3 bucket and doesn't specify the root user as a principal, the root user is denied access to that bucket. However, as the root user, you can still access the bucket by modifying the bucket policy to allow root user access.
