Amazon Amazon Certifications SOA-C02 Questions & Answers

  • Question 51:

    A company has applications that process transaction requests multiple times each minute. The applications write transaction data to a single Amazon RDS DB instance. As the company begins to process more transactions, the company becomes concerned that it has no failover solution in place for disaster recovery (DR). The company needs the DB instance to fail over automatically without losing any committed transactions.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Create an RDS read replica in the same AWS Region. Configure an AWS Lambda function to promote the replica as the primary DB instance during a DR scenario.

    B. Create an RDS read replica in a different AWS Region. Configure an AWS Lambda function to promote the replica as the primary DB instance during a DR scenario.

    C. Modify the DB instance to be a Multi-AZ deployment.

    D. Setup an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that monitors the DB instance memory utilization with a threshold greater than 90%. Invoke an AWS Lambda function to restart the DB instance.

  • Question 52:

    A company has multiple AWS accounts. The company uses AWS Organizations with an organizational unit (OU) for the production account and another OU for the development account. Corporate policies state that developers may use only approved AWS services in the production account.

    What is the MOST operationally efficient solution to control the production account?

    A. Create a customer managed policy in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Apply the policy to all users within the production account.

    B. Create a job function policy in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Apply the policy to all users within the production OU.

    C. Create a service control policy (SCP). Apply the SCP to the production OU.

    D. Create an IAM policy. Apply the policy in Amazon API Gateway to restrict the production account.

  • Question 53:

    A SysOps administrator is responsible for more than 50 Amazon EC2 instances that are deployed in a single production AWS account. The EC2 instances are running several different operating systems. The company's standards require

    patching to be completed at least once a month.

    The SysOps administrator wants to use AWS Systems Manager to reduce the number of hours the company spends on operating system patching each month.

    Which combination of steps should the SysOps administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

    A. Group similar EC2 instances together into resource groups by using AWS Resource Groups.

    B. Create a schedule in Systems Manager Patch Manager. Specify the appropriate resource group as the target.

    C. Specify Systems Manager Automation runbooks to patch the operating systems. Register the runbooks as tasks in the maintenance window. Specify the appropriate resource group as the target.

    D. Create a Systems Manager Automation runbook to monitor and control the state of the patches required. Apply the runbook to Systems Manager Patch Manager.

    E. Create a single Systems Manager maintenance window for each resource group.

    F. Configure Systems Manager Fleet Manager to apply a Systems Manager Automation runbook to the appropriate resource group.

  • Question 54:

    Accompany wants to monitor the number of Amazon EC2 instances that it is running. The company also wants to automate a service quota increase when the number of instances reaches a specific threshold. Which solution meets these requirements?

    A. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to monitor Service Quotas. Configure the alarm to invoke an AWS Lambda function to request a quota increase when the alarm reaches the threshold.

    B. Create an AWS Config rule to monitor Service Quotas. Call an AWS Lambda function to remediate the action and increase the quota.

    C. Create an Amazon CloudWateh alarm to monitor the AWS Health Dashboard. Configure the alarm to invoke an AWS Lambda function to request a quota increase when the alarm reaches the threshold.

    D. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to monitor AWS Trusted Advisor service quotas. Configure the alarm to publish a message to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to increase the quota.

  • Question 55:

    A company is running production workloads that use a Multi-AZ deployment of an Amazon RDS for MySQL db.m6g.xlarge (general purpose) standard DB instance. Users report that they are frequently encountering a "too many connections" error. A SysOps administrator observes that the number of connections on the database is high.

    The SysOps administrator needs to resolve this issue while keeping code changes to a minimum.

    Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

    A. Modify the RDS for MySQL DB instance to a larger instance size.

    B. Modify the RDS for MySQL DB instance to Amazon DynamoDB.

    C. Configure RDS Proxy. Modify the application configuration file to use the RDS Proxy endpoint.

    D. Modify the RDS for MySQL DB instance to a memory optimized DB instance.

  • Question 56:

    A company uses AWS CloudFormation to manage a stack of Amazon EC2 instances on AWS. A SysOps administrator needs to keep the instances and all of the instances' data, even if someone deletes the stack. Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Set the DeletionPolicy attribute to Snapshot for the EC2 instance resource in the CloudFormation template.

    B. Automate backups by using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM).

    C. Create a backup plan in AWS Backup.

    D. Set the DeletionPolicy attribute to Retain for the EC2 instance resource in the CloudFormation template.

  • Question 57:

    A company has an application that uses a scheduled AWS Lambda function to retrieve datasets from external sources over the internet. The function is not associated with a VPC. The company is modifying the application to store the information that the Lambda function retrieves on an Amazon RDS DB instance in a private subnet. The VPC has two public subnets and two private subnets.

    A SysOps administrator must deploy a solution that allows the Lambda function to access the new database and continue to access the internet.

    Which solution meets these requirements?

    A. Create a new Lambda function with VPC access and an Elastic IP address. Attach the function to public subnets in two Availability Zones. Associate a security group with the Elastic IP address. Configure the security group outbound rules to allow Lambda to access the required resources.

    B. Create a new Lambda function with VPC access and two public IP addresses. Attach the function to public subnets in the same Availability Zones that the database uses. Associate a security group with the function. Configure the security group inbound rules to allow Lambda to access the required resources.

    C. Reconfigure the Lambda function for VPC access. Add NAT gateways to the public subnets in the VPAdd route table entries in the private subnets to route through the NAT gateways to the internet. Attach the function to the private subnets that support the database. Associate a security group with the function. Configure the security group outbound rules to allow Lambda to access the internet.

    D. Reconfigure the Lambda function for VPC access. Attach the function to the private subnets. Add route table entries in the private subnets to route through the internet gateway to the internet. Associate a security group with the subnets.
