What happens when a VPC Flow Log is enabled?

  • A Logs are sent to CloudFormation
  • B Traffic is automatically blocked
  • C Metrics are generated in CloudWatch
  • D Network traffic is recorded to S3
Explanation VPC Flow Logs record network traffic and send the logs to an S3 bucket.
Q52

Which AWS service provides a fully managed serverless compute engine?

  • A AWS Lambda
  • B Amazon EC2
  • C AWS Elastic Beanstalk
  • D Amazon ECS
Explanation AWS Lambda offers a fully managed serverless environment, while EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, and ECS require server management.
Q53

A company needs to optimize their cost for data transfer out of S3. Which S3 storage class should they consider for infrequently accessed data?

  • A S3 Standard
  • B S3 Intelligent-Tiering
  • C S3 One Zone-IA
  • D S3 Glacier
Explanation S3 One Zone-IA is cost-effective for infrequent access, unlike the others which serve different access patterns.
Q54

You are configuring an Amazon RDS database. What happens when the instance runs out of allocated storage space?

  • A The database is automatically deleted.
  • B Database performance improves temporarily.
  • C The database goes into read-only mode.
  • D New connections are rejected immediately.
Explanation The database goes into read-only mode when storage capacity is exhausted to prevent data loss.
Q55

Which service is best for event-driven architectures?

  • A AWS Lambda
  • B Amazon EC2
  • C Amazon RDS
  • D AWS Direct Connect
Explanation AWS Lambda is designed for event-driven computing, while EC2 and RDS are for traditional deployments and Direct Connect is for network connections.
Q56

A company needs to ensure their EC2 instances are highly available. What should they do?

  • A Deploy instances in a single AZ
  • B Use Elastic Load Balancing
  • C Set a Security Group rule
  • D Use EBS volumes only
Explanation Using Elastic Load Balancing distributes traffic, enhancing high availability, while a single AZ deployment does not.
Q57

What happens when an IAM role is assumed by a Lambda function?

  • A It grants permissions immediately.
  • B It creates a new user.
  • C It attaches a policy.
  • D It creates a temporary credential.
Explanation IAM roles issue temporary credentials to the function upon being assumed, enabling it to act with defined permissions.
Q58

Which AWS service provides a managed NoSQL database?

  • A DynamoDB
  • B RDS
  • C ElastiCache
  • D Redshift
Explanation DynamoDB is specifically designed for NoSQL databases; RDS is for SQL, ElastiCache for caching, and Redshift for data warehousing.
Q59

A company needs to deploy a fault-tolerant application in a single AWS region. Which configuration should they use?

  • A Multiple Availability Zones
  • B Single Availability Zone
  • C Regional Replication
  • D Direct Connect
Explanation Deploying in multiple Availability Zones provides fault tolerance; single AZ lacks redundancy, regional replication is not applicable here, and Direct Connect is for dedicated connections.
Q60

What happens when an EC2 instance's IAM role is modified?

  • A Immediate effect on running instances
  • B Reboot required for changes
  • C Changes apply only to future instances
  • D Old permissions persist until termination
Explanation IAM role changes take effect only for new instances; running instances retain the previous role's permissions until stopped or terminated.
