    A. Decrease the number of nodes in the ElastiCache for Redis cluster from 2 to 1.

    B. Deploy a new ElastiCache for Redis cluster that uses large node types. Migrate the data from the original cluster to the new cluster. After the process is complete, shut down the original duster.

    C. Deploy a new ElastiCache for Redis cluster that uses large node types. Take a backup from the original cluster, and restore the backup in the new cluster. After the process is complete, shut down the original cluster.

    D. Perform an online resizing for the ElastiCache for Redis cluster. Change the node types from extra-large nodes to large nodes.

  • Question 185:

    A SysOps administrator developed a Python script that uses the AWS SDK to conduct several maintenance tasks. The script needs to run automatically every night.

    What is the MOST operationally efficient solution that meets this requirement?

    A. Convert the Python script to an AWS Lambda (unction. Use an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule to invoke the function every night.

    B. Convert the Python script to an AWS Lambda function. Use AWS CloudTrail to invoke the function every night.

    C. Deploy the Python script to an Amazon EC2 Instance. Use Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) to schedule the instance to start and stop every night.

    D. Deploy the Python script to an Amazon EC2 instance. Use AWS Systems Manager to schedule the instance to start and stop every night.

  • Question 186:

    A company recently acquired another corporation and all of that corporation's AWS accounts. A financial analyst needs the cost data from these accounts. A SysOps administrator uses Cost Explorer to generate cost and usage reports. The SysOps administrator notices that "No Tagkey" represents 20% of the monthly cost.

    A. Add the accounts to AWS Organizations. Use a service control policy (SCP) to tag all the untagged resources.

    B. Use an AWS Config rule to find the untagged resources. Set the remediation action to terminate the resources.

    C. Use Cost Explorer to find and tag all the untagged resources.

    D. Use Tag Editor to find and taq all the untaqqed resources.

  • Question 187:

    A manufacturing company uses an Amazon RDS DB instance to store inventory of all stock items. The company maintains several AWS Lambda functions that interact with the database to add, update, and delete items. The Lambda

    functions use hardcoded credentials to connect to the database.

    A SysOps administrator must ensure that the database credentials are never stored in plaintext and that the password is rotated every 30 days.

    Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient manner?

    A. Store the database password as an environment variable for each Lambda function. Create a new Lambda function that is named PasswordRotate. Use Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) to schedule the PasswordRotate function every 30 days to change the database password and update the environment variable for each Lambda function.

    B. Use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to encrypt the database password and to store the encrypted password as an environment variable for each Lambda function. Grant each Lambda function access to the KMS key so that the database password can be decrypted when required. Create a new Lambda function that is named PasswordRotate to change the password every 30 days.

    C. Use AWS Secrets Manager to store credentials for the database. Create a Secrets Manager secret, and select the database so that Secrets Manager will use a Lambda function to update the database password automatically. Specify an automatic rotation schedule of 30 days. Update each Lambda function to access the database password from SecretsManager.

    D. Use AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store to create a secure string to store credentials for the database. Create a new Lambda function called PasswordRotate. Use Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) to schedule the PasswordRotate function every 30 days to change the database password and to update the secret within Parameter Store. Update each Lambda function to access the database password from Parameter Store.
