Amazon Amazon Certifications SOA-C02 Questions & Answers

  • Question 81:

    A SysOps administrator manages the caching of an Amazon CloudFront distribution that serves pages of a website, The SysOps administrator needs to configure the distribution so that the TTL of individual pages can vary. The TTL of the individual pages must remain within the maximum TLL and the minimum TTL that are set for the distribution.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Create an AWS Lambda function that calls the Createlnvalidation API operation when a change in cache time is necessary.

    B. Add a Cache-Control: max-age directive to the object at the origin when content is being returned to CloudFront.

    C. Add a no-cache header through a Lambda@Edge function in response to the Viewer response.

    D. Add.an Expires header through a CloudFront function in response to the Viewer response.

  • Question 82:

    A company has a public web application that experiences rapid traffic increases after advertisements appear on local television. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances that are in an Auto Scaling group. The Auto Scaling group is not keeping up with the traffic surges after an advertisement runs. The company often needs to scale out to 100 EC2 instances during the traffic surges.

    The instance startup times are lengthy because of a boot process that creates machine-specific data caches that are unique to each instance. The exact timing of when the advertisements will appear on television is not known. A SysOps administrator must implement a solution so that the application can function properly during the traffic surges.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Create e warm pool. Keep enough instances in the Stopped state to meet the increased demand.

    B. Start 100 instances. Allow the boot process to finish running. Store this data on the instance store volume before stopping the instances.

    C. Increase the value of the instance warmup time in the scaling policy

    D. Use predictive scaling for the Auto Scaling group.

  • Question 83:

    A company hosts an internal application on Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The instances are in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group. Employees use the application to provide product prices to potential customers. The Auto Scaling group is configured with a dynamic scaling policy and tracks average CPU utilization of the instances.

    Employees have noticed that sometimes the application becomes slow or unresponsive. A SysOps administrator finds that some instances are experiencing a high CPU load. The Auto Scaling group cannot scale out because the company is reaching the EC2 instance service quota.

    The SysOps administrator needs to implement a solution that provides a notification when the company reaches 70% or more of the EC2 instance service quota.

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

    A. Create an AWS Lambda function that lists the EC2 instances, counts the EC2 instances, and compares the total number against the applied quota value by using the Service Quotas API. Configure the Lambda function to publish an

    Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification if the quota utilization is equal to or greater than 70%. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke the Lambda function.

    B. Create an AWS Lambda function that lists the EC2 instances, counts the EC2 instances, and compares the total number against the applied quota value by using the Amazon CloudWatch Metrics API. Configure the Lambda function to publish an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification if the quota utilization is equal to or greater than 70%. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke the Lambda function.

    C. Use the Service Quotas console to create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm for the EC2 instances. Configure the alarm with quota utilization equal to or greater than 70%. Configure the alarm to publish an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification when the alarm enters ALARM state.

    D. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm. Configure the alarm with a threshold of 70% for the CPUUtilization metric for the EC2 instances. Configure the alarm to publish an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification when the alarm enters ALARM state.

  • Question 84:

    A company has deployed an application on Amazon EC2 instances in a single VPC. The company has placed the EC2 instances in a private subnet in the VPC.

    The EC2 instances need access to Amazon S3 buckets that are in the same AWS Region as the EC2 instances. A SysOps administrator must provide the EC2 instances with access to the S3 buckets without requiring any changes to the EC2 instances or the application. The EC2 instances must not have access to the internet.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Create an S3 gateway endpoint that uses the default gateway endpoint policy. Associate the private subnet with the gateway endpoint.

    B. Create an S3 interface endpoint. Associate the EC2 instances with the interface endpoint.

    C. Configure a NAT gateway. Associate the private subnet with the NAT gateway.

    D. Configure a proxy EC2 instance. Update the private subnet route tables to route traffic through the proxy EC2 instance. Configure the proxy to route all S3 requests to the target S3 bucket.

  • Question 85:

    A company hosts a Windows-based file server on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones. The current setup does not allow application servers to access files simultaneously from the EC2 fleet.

    Which solution will allow this access in the MOST operationally efficient way?

    A. Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) Multi-AZ file system. Copy the files to the EFS file system. Connect the EFS file system to mount points on the application servers.

    B. Create an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server Multi-AZ file system. Copy the files to the Amazon FSx file system. Adjust the connections from the application servers to use the share that the Amazon FSx file system exposes.

    C. Create an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume that has EBS Multi-Attach enabled. Create an Auto Scaling group for the Windows file server. Use a script in the file server's user data to attach the SharedFileAccess tag to the EBS volume during launch.

    D. Create two Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file systems. Configure Distributed File System (DFS) replication between the file systems. Copy the files to the Amazon FSx file systems. Adjust the connections from the application servers to use the shares that the Amazon FSx file systems expose.

  • Question 86:

    A company is building a web application on AWS. The company is using Amazon CloudFront with a domain name of www.example.com. All traffic to CloudFront must be encrypted in transit. The company already has provisioned an SSL certificate for www.example.com in AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).

    Which combination of steps should a SysOps administrator take to encrypt the traffic in transit? (Choose two.)

    A. For each cache behavior in the CloudFront distribution, modify the Viewer Protocol Policy setting to redirect HTTP to HTTPS.

    B. For each cache behavior in the CloudFront distribution, modify the Viewer Protocol Policy setting to allow HTTP and HTTPS.

    C. Enter the alternate domain name (CNAME) of www.example.com for the CloudFront distribution. Select the custom SSL certificate.

    D. Configure an AWS WAF web ACL for the CloudFront distribution.

    E. Configure CloudFront Origin Shield for the CloudFront origin.

  • Question 87:

    A company manages its multi-account environment by using AWS Organizations. The company needs to automate the creation of daily incremental backups of any Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume that is marked with a Lifecycle: Production tag in one of its primary AWS accounts.

    The company wants to prevent users from using Amazon EC2 * permissions to delete any of these production snapshots.

    What should a SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements?

    A. Create a daily snapshot of all EBS volumes by using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager. Specify Lifecycle as the tag key. Specify Production as the tag value.

    B. Associate a service control policy (SCP) with the account to deny users the ability to delete EBS snapshots. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule with a 24-hour cron schedule. Configure EBS Create Snapshot as the target. Target all EBS volumes with the specified tags.

    C. Create a daily snapshot of all EBS volumes by using AWS Backup. Specify Lifecycle as the tag key. Specify Production as the tag value.

    D. Create a daily Amazon Machine Image (AMI) of every production EC2 instance within the AWS account by using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager.

  • Question 88:

    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 89:

    A SysOps administrator needs to configure an Amazon S3 bucket to host a web application. The SysOps administrator has created the S3 bucket and has copied the static files for the web application to the S3 bucket.

    The company has a policy that all $3 buckets must not be public.

    What should the SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements?

    A. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Configure the S3 bucket as an origin with an origin access identity (OAI). Give the OAI the s3:GetObject permission in the S3 bucket policy.

    B. Configure static website hosting in the S3 bucket. Use Amazon Route 53 to create a DNS CNAME to point to the S3 website endpoint.

    C. Create an Application Load Balancer (ALB). Change the protocol to HTTPS in the ALB listener configuration. Forward the traffic to the S3 bucket.

    D. Create an accelerator in AWS Global Accelerator. Set up a listener configuration for port 443. Set the endpoint type to forward the traffic to the S3 bucket.

  • Question 90:

    A company has a hybrid environment. The company has set up an AWS Direct Connect connection between the company's on-premises data center and a workload that runs in a VPC. The company uses Amazon Route 53 for DNS on AWS.

    The company uses a private hosted zone to manage DNS names for a set of services that are hosted on AWS.

    The company wants the on-premises servers to use Route 53 for DNS resolution of the private hosted zone.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Create a Route 53 inbound endpoint. Ensure that security groups and routing allow the traffic from the on-premises data center. Configure the DNS server on the on-premises network to conditionally forward DNS queries for the private hosted zone's domain name to the IP addresses of the inbound endpoint.

    B. Create a Route 53 outbound endpoint. Ensure that security groups and routing allow the traffic from the VPC. Configure the DNS server on the on-premises network to conditionally forward DNS queries for the private hosted zone's domain name to the IP addresses of the outbound endpoint.

    C. Edit the private hosted zone in Route 53 with a TXT record that references the on-premises DNS servers. Configure the DNS server on the on-premises network to conditionally forward DNS queries for the private hosted zone's domain name to the base of the VPC CIDR IPv4 network range, plus two.

    D. Edit the private hosted zone in Route 53 with a PTR record that references the on-premises DNS servers. Configure the DNS server on the on-premises network to conditionally forward DNS queries for the private hosted zone's domain name to the base of the VPC CIDR IPv4 network range, plus two.
