Amazon SOA-C02 Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 411:

    A company has a list of pre-appf oved Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for developers lo use to launch Amazon EC2 instances However, developers are still launching EC2 instances from unapproved AMIs.

    A SysOps administrator must implement a solution that automatically terminates any instances that are launched from unapproved AMIs.

    Which solution will meet mis requirement?

    A. Set up an AWS Config managed rule to check if instances are running from AMIs that are on the list of pre-approved AMIs. Configure an automatic remediation action so that an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook terminates any instances that are noncompliant with the rule
    B. Store the list of pre-approved AMIs in an Amazon DynamoDB global table that is replicated to all AWS Regions that the developers use. Create Regional EC2 launch templates. Configure the launch templates to check AMIs against the list and to terminate any instances that are not on the list
    C. Select the Amazon CloudWatch metric that shows all running instances and the AMIs that the instances were launched from Create a CloudWatch alarm that terminates an instance if the metric shows the use of an unapproved AMI.
    D. Create a custom Amazon Inspector finding to compare a running instance's AMI against the list of pre-approved AMIs Create an AWS Lambda function that terminates instances. Configure Amazon Inspector to report findings of unapproved AMIs to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue to invoke the Lambda function.

  • Question 412:

    A company needs to track spending in its AWS account. The company must receive a notification when current costs and forecasted costs exceed specific thresholds. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

    A. Create a new 1AM role. Attach the AWSPurchaseOrdersServiceRolePolicy AWS managed policy to the role. Check AWS Cost Explorer on a regular basis to monitor current costs and forecasted costs
    B. Create an AWS Cost and Usage Report Create an AWS Step Functions state machine that runs when a new usage file is generated Configure the state machine to pass the data to Amazon Forecast and to invoke an AWS Lambda Function Configure the Lambda function to parse the data and to send a notification to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic if costs exceed the thresholds.
    C. Create an AWS Cost and Usage Report Separate the current costs and forecasted costs by service. Schedule the report to be sent to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic each month.
    D. Create a recurring cost budget in AWS Budgets. Create an alert for the actual cost. Create a second alert for the forecasted costs. Configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to receive the alerts.

  • Question 413:

    A company has implemented a data ingestion pipeline to process files in the form of messages. A frontend application accepts user input and stores the input in Amazon S3. A backend application uses Amazon EC2 instances to process the object that was uploaded to Amazon S3. The company recently experienced a significant increase in customer traffic. The frontend application is now sending more messages at one time than the backend application can handle, resulting in some lost messages.

    Which action will resolve this problem with the LEAST operational effort?

    A. Redevelop the backend application as a series of AWS Lambda functions.
    B. Implement an Amazon Kinesis data stream to replace the backend application.
    C. Implement an Application Load Balancer to distribute message traffic across the backend application instances.
    D. Implement an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue between the frontend and backend components.

  • Question 414:

    The company's security team needs to consolidate Security Hub findings to reduce duplicate notifications for the same misconfigurations.

    A. Turn on consolidated control findings in the Security Hub delegated administrator account.
    B. Export the Security Hub findings. Consolidate the findings based on control ID. Visualize the findings in Amazon QuickSight.
    C. Set up an AWS Config aggregator instead of Security Hub. Deploy a custom conformance pack by consolidating AWS Config rules.
    D. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance in the organization's management account. Configure a custom script to assume a role in each linked account to extract and consolidate findings from the accounts.

  • Question 415:

    A SysOps administrator needs to deploy an application in multiple AWS Regions. The SysOps administrator must implement a solution that routes users to the Region with the lowest latency. In case of failure, the solution must automatically route requests to a Region with a healthy instance of the application. The company needs a solution with the shortest time to failover.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Create Amazon Route 53 A records that have the same name for each endpoint. Use a latency routing policy. Associate a health check with each record.
    B. Create Amazon Route 53 A records that have the same name for each endpoint. Use a failover routing policy. Associate a health check with each record.
    C. Create an AWS Global Accelerator standard accelerator. Create an endpoint group for each Region. Add a listener to the accelerator. Associate the endpoint group with the listener.
    D. Create Amazon Route 53 A records that have the same name for each endpoint. Use a geolocation routing policy. Associate a health check with each record.

  • Question 416:

    A company is experiencing issues with legacy software running on Amazon EC2 instances. Errors occur when the total CPU utilization on the EC2 instances exceeds 80%. A short-term solution is required while the software is being rewritten. A SysOps administrator is tasked with creating a solution to restart the instances when the CPU utilization rises above 80%.

    Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

    A. Write a script that monitors the CPU utilization of the EC2 instances and reboots the instances when utilization exceeds 80%. Run the script as a cron job.
    B. Add an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for CPU utilization and configure the alarm action to reboot the EC2 instances.
    C. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule using the predefined patterns for CPU utilization of the EC2 instances. When utilization exceeds 80%, invoke an AWS Lambda function to restart the instances.
    D. Add an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for CPU utilization and configure an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook to reboot the EC2 instances when utilization exceeds 80%.

  • Question 417:

    A company runs an application on hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances in three Availability Zones. The application calls a third-party API over the public internet. A SysOps administrator must provide the third party with a list of static IP addresses so that the third party can allow traffic from the application.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Add a NAT gateway in the public subnet of each Availability Zone. Make the NAT gateway the default route of all private subnets in those Availability Zones.
    B. Allocate one Elastic IP address in each Availability Zone. Associate the Elastic IP address with all the instances in the Availability Zone.
    C. Place the instances behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB). Send the traffic to the internet through the private IP address of the NLB.
    D. Update the main route table to send the traffic to the internet through an Elastic IP address that is assigned to each instance.

  • Question 418:

    B. Create a new AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook that updates the security group's inbound rule with the IP addresses from the business units. Update the AWS Config rule to change the automatic remediation action to use the new runbook.
    C. Create an AWS Lambda function that adds an IP set to the security group's inbound rule. Update the AWS Config rule to change the automatic remediation action to use the Lambda function.
    D. Create an AWS Lambda function that updates the security group's inbound rule with the IP addresses from the business units. Update the AWS Config rule to change the automatic remediation action to use the Lambda function.

  • Question 420:
