The AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02) exam validates your skills in automating the testing and deployment of AWS applications. It is ideal for those looking to advance their DevOps career.
A company needs to automate AWS resource provisioning with a single command. Which service should they use?
AAWS CloudFormation
BAWS CodeDeploy
CAWS OpsWorks
DAmazon Inspector
Explanation
AWS CloudFormation allows defining infrastructure as code for single-command provisioning, while others do not serve the same purpose.
Q372
You are configuring an Auto Scaling group. What happens when the desired capacity is set to 0?
AAll instances are terminated
BInstances are stopped
CInstances are placed in standby
DNo change occurs at all
Explanation
Setting desired capacity to 0 terminates all instances in the Auto Scaling group, while others do not physically remove them from the group.
Q373
Which AWS service allows you to decouple application components?
AAmazon SQS
BAWS CodeDeploy
CAWS Lambda
DAWS CloudFormation
Explanation
Amazon SQS is a message queue service that enables decoupling, while others serve different purposes.
Q374
A company needs to automate code testing and deployment using CI/CD. Which AWS service should they primarily use?
AAWS CodePipeline
BAmazon EventBridge
CAWS Systems Manager
DAmazon RDS
Explanation
AWS CodePipeline automates CI/CD workflows, while others do not focus specifically on CI/CD.
Q375
What happens when an AWS Auto Scaling group reaches its maximum capacity limit?
ANo new instances launched
BInstances get terminated
CLoad balancer fails
DTraffic gets routed incorrectly
Explanation
When the limit is reached, no new instances are launched; others describe incorrect behaviors.
Q376
Which service allows you to run code without provisioning servers?
AAWS Lambda
BAmazon EC2
CAWS Elastic Beanstalk
DAWS Fargate
Explanation
AWS Lambda enables serverless execution of code, unlike the others which require provisioning resources.
Q377
A company needs to ensure their Elastic Beanstalk application can automatically scale based on load. What should they configure?
AApplication Load Balancer
BAuto Scaling policies
CCloudFront distribution
DRDS Performance Insights
Explanation
Only Auto Scaling policies allow automated scaling based on current load, while the others do not directly manage instance scaling.
Q378
What happens when you increase the IOPS of an Amazon EBS volume?
ALatency decreases immediately
BCost increases slightly
CPerformance improves for all apps
DNothing changes until reboot
Explanation
Increasing IOPS directly raises costs for EBS, but it doesn't guarantee performance improvements for all applications nor immediate latency reduction.
Q379
Which AWS service can automate backups for Amazon RDS?
AAWS Backup
BAmazon S3
CAWS Lambda
DAmazon CloudFront
Explanation
AWS Backup specializes in backup orchestration, including RDS, while the others serve different primary functions.
Q380
A company needs to allow its developers to deploy applications through a CI/CD pipeline. Which architecture pattern should be used?
AMonolithic architecture
BServerless architecture
CMicroservices architecture
DEvent-driven architecture
Explanation
Microservices architecture enables independent deployments, crucial for CI/CD; the other patterns are less suited for such flexibility.
