Q351

What happens when an AWS IAM role is assigned to an EC2 instance?

  • A Instance gains access to AWS services
  • B IAM role is ignored by instance
  • C Instance becomes unreachable
  • D All data is deleted from the instance
Explanation The attached IAM role allows the instance to access AWS resources securely, while the others are incorrect outcomes.
Q352

A company needs to implement a solution for scalability in high traffic situations; which AWS service should they use?

  • A AWS Elastic Load Balancing
  • B AWS Lambda
  • C Amazon S3
  • D AWS Direct Connect
Explanation Elastic Load Balancing distributes incoming traffic for improved scalability, while the others do not directly address traffic management.
Q353

What happens when you provision an Amazon EC2 instance with an IAM role?

  • A It accesses resources without credential management.
  • B It requires manual key rotation.
  • C It defaults to full administrative permissions.
  • D It cannot access any AWS services.
Explanation An IAM role allows the instance to access AWS resources securely without hardcoding credentials, unlike the other options.
Q354

You are configuring a CloudFormation stack with multiple resources; what will happen if one resource fails to create?

  • A All resources will be created.
  • B The stack enters a rollback state.
  • C Only the failed resource will be skipped.
  • D Resources will be created partially without errors.
Explanation On creation failure, CloudFormation rolls back all changes to ensure the stack remains consistent; the other options either misrepresent CloudFormation behavior.
Q355

Which AWS service is primarily used for monitoring resources?

  • A Amazon CloudWatch
  • B AWS Lambda
  • C Amazon RDS
  • D AWS CloudFormation
Explanation Amazon CloudWatch is designed for resource monitoring, while the others serve different purposes.
Q356

A company needs to allow developers continuous access to resources without compromising security. Which feature should they implement?

  • A IAM Role with long-term credentials
  • B IAM Role with temporary security credentials
  • C IAM Users with admin access
  • D S3 Bucket Public Access
Explanation IAM Roles with temporary security credentials enhance security without compromising access.
Q357

What happens when you select 'Terminate' for an EC2 instance that has an EBS volume?

  • A EBS volume is deleted automatically
  • B EBS volume persists unless configured otherwise
  • C EC2 instance shuts down without deleting volume
  • D Only the instance metadata is removed
Explanation Terminating an EC2 instance does not delete the EBS volume unless specified; it can persist if set to do so.
Q358

Which service allows you to automate EC2 instance management?

  • A AWS CloudFormation
  • B AWS Systems Manager
  • C AWS CodeDeploy
  • D AWS Lambda
Explanation AWS Systems Manager provides automation for EC2 instance management; the others focus on different aspects of AWS services.
Q359

A company needs to provide temporary access to AWS resources for contractors without creating AWS accounts. What should they use?

  • A IAM Roles
  • B IAM Groups
  • C AWS Organizations
  • D IAM Policies
Explanation IAM Roles allow temporary access without creating accounts; groups and policies don't provide temporary access directly, and AWS Organizations is for account management.
Q360

What happens when an EC2 instance is terminated?

  • A Data is lost permanently
  • B Data in EBS is retained
  • C Instance is saved as AMI
  • D Instance is stopped, not terminated
Explanation Terminating an EC2 instance results in the permanent loss of data stored on the instance's root volume unless otherwise configured; EBS snapshots must be used for persistent data.
