Q11

A company needs to ensure data is not lost. What should they implement?

  • A S3 Standard Storage
  • B AWS Snowball
  • C Multi-AZ RDS
  • D EC2 T2 instances
Explanation Multi-AZ RDS provides high availability and durable data, while others do not ensure data safety.
Q12

What happens when an EC2 instance is stopped?

  • A Data on EBS is deleted
  • B IP address remains the same
  • C Instance can be restarted
  • D Instance configuration is lost
Explanation Stopping an EC2 instance allows it to be restarted, while EBS data is preserved, the IP can change, and configuration persists.
Q13

Which AWS service is best for deploying a web application with auto-scaling?

  • A AWS Elastic Beanstalk
  • B AWS Lambda
  • C AWS EC2
  • D AWS CloudFormation
Explanation AWS Elastic Beanstalk automates deployment and scaling, while Lambda is for serverless, EC2 is for manual deployment, and CloudFormation is for infrastructure as code.
Q14

A company needs secure access to AWS resources from a client's on-premises environment. Which service should they use?

  • A VPN Connection
  • B Direct Connect
  • C AWS SSO
  • D AWS CloudTrail
Explanation Direct Connect provides a dedicated line for secure access, while VPN connects securely over the internet, SSO is for user management, and CloudTrail logs API calls.

What happens when an S3 bucket policy denies access to a specific principal?

  • A Access is granted to other principals
  • B All access is denied to everyone
  • C Denied principal can still access via IAM roles
  • D Access is allowed with MFA authentication
Explanation The bucket policy only affects the specified principal, allowing other principals access unless denied elsewhere; B is incorrect as it does not blanket deny, C is incorrect as IAM roles do not override explicit denies, and D is incorrect as MFA does not affect explicit denies.

What happens when you use AWS Lambda with a threshold of memory allocated to it?

  • A Increases execution time only
  • B Decreases cost of execution
  • C Affects the duration of memory storage
  • D Increases available CPU power
Explanation More memory allocated to Lambda increases CPU power, impacting performance.
Q19

Which service allows you to run code without provisioning servers?

  • A AWS Lambda
