Amazon SAA-C01 Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 371:

    You have launched an EC2 instance with four (4) 500 GB EBS Provisioned IOPS volumes attached The EC2 Instance Is EBS-Optimized and supports 500 Mbps throughput between EC2 and EBS. The two EBS volumes are configured as a single RAID o device, and each Provisioned IOPS volume is provisioned with 4.000 IOPS (4 000 16KB reads or writes) for a total of 16.000 random IOPS on the instance The EC2 Instance initially delivers the expected 16 000 IOPS random read and write performance Sometime later in order to increase the total random I/O performance of the instance, you add an additional two 500 GB EBS Provisioned IOPS volumes to the RAID Each volume Is provisioned to 4.000 IOPs like the original four for a total of 24.000 IOPS on the EC2 instance Monitoring shows that the EC2 instance CPU utilization increased from 50% to 70%. but the total random IOPS measured at the instance level does not increase at all. What is the problem and a valid solution?

    A. Larger storage volumes support higher Provisioned IOPS rates: increase the provisioned volume storage of each of the 6 EBS volumes to 1TB
    B. The EBS-Optimized throughput limits the total IOPS that can be utilized use an EBS-Optimized instance that provides larger throughput.
    C. Small block sizes cause performance degradation, limiting the I'O throughput, configure the instance device driver and file system to use 64KB blocks to increase throughput.
    D. RAID 0 only scales linearly to about 4 devices, use RAID 0 with 4 EBS Provisioned IOPS volumes but increase each Provisioned IOPS EBS volume to 6.000 IOPS.
    E. The standard EBS instance root volume limits the total IOPS rate, change the instant root volume to also be a 500GB 4.000 Provisioned IOPS volume.

  • Question 372:

    You are designing Internet connectivity for your VPC. The Web servers must be available on the Internet. The application must have a highly available architecture. Which alternatives should you consider? (Choose two.)

    A. Configure a NAT instance in your VPC. Create a default route via the NAT instance and associate it with all subnets. Configure a DNS A record that points to the NAT instance public IP address.
    B. Configure a CloudFront distribution and configure the origin to point to the private IP addresses of your Web servers. Configure a Route53 CNAME record to your CloudFront distribution.
    C. Place all your web servers behind EL8. Configure a Route53 CNMIE to point to the ELB DNS name.
    D. Assign EIPs to all web servers. Configure a Route53 record set with all EIPs with health checks and DNS failover.
    E. Configure ELB with an EIP. Place all your Web servers behind ELB. Configure a Route53 A record that points to the EIP.

  • Question 373:

    An application calls a service run by a vendor. The vendor charges based on the number of calls. The finance department needs to know the number of calls that are made to the service to validate the billing statements. How can a Solutions Architect design a system to durably store the number of calls without requiring changes to the application?

    A. Call the service through an internet gateway.
    B. Decouple the application from the service with an Amazon SQS queue.
    C. Publish a custom Amazon CloudWatch metric that counts calls to the service.
    D. Call the service through a VPC peering connection.

  • Question 374:

    A company deployed a three-tier web application on Amazon EBS backed Amazon EC2 instances for the web and application tiers, and Amazon RDS for the database tier. The company is concerned about loss of data in the web and application tiers.

    What is the MOST efficient way to prevent data loss?

    A. Create an Amazon EFS file system and run a shell script to copy the data
    B. Create an Amazon EBS snapshot using an Amazon CloudWatch Events rule
    C. Create an Amazon S3 snapshot policy to back up the Amazon EBS volumes
    D. Create a snapshot lifecycle policy that takes periodic snapshots of the Amazon EBS volumes

  • Question 375:

    Which of the following statements is true of IAM?

    A. If you are configuring MFA for a user who will use a smartphone to generate an OTP, you must have the smartphone available in order to finish the wizard.
    B. If you are configuring MFA for a user who will use a smartphone to generate an OTP, the smartphone is not required in order to finish the wizard.
    C. If you are configuring MFA for a user who will use a smartphone to generate an OTP, you can finish the wizard on any device and later use the smartphone for authentication.
    D. None of these are correct.

  • Question 376:

    A. Amazon S3 client-side encryption with an AWS KMS-managed customer master key (CMK)
    B. Amazon S3 server-side encryption with an AWS KMS-managed key

    Which of the following approaches will satisfy these requirements?

    A. Create a lifecycle rule to transition the documents from the STANDARD storage class to the STANDARD_IA storage class after 15 days, and then to the GLACIER storage class after an additional 15 days.
    B. Create a lifecycle rule to transition the documents from the STANDARD storage class to the GLACIER storage class after 30 days.
    C. Create a lifecycle rule to transition documents from the STANDARD storage class to the STANDARD_IA storage class after 30 days and then to the GLACIER storage class after an additional 30 days.
