A SySOps Administrator is managing an AWS account where Developers are authorized to launch Amazon EC2 instances to test new code. To limit costs, the Administrator must ensure that the EC2 instances in the account are terminated 24 hours after launch.
How should the Administrator meet these requirements?
An e-commerce company wants to lower costs on its nightly jobs that aggregate the current day’s sales and store the results in Amazon S3. The jobs are currently run using multiple on-demand instances and the job take just under 2 hours to complete. If a job fails for any reason, it needs to be restarted from the beginning.
What method is the MOST cost effective based on these requirements?
An application is being developed that will be served across a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances, which require a consistent view of persistent data. Items stored vary in size from 1 KB lo 300MB; the items are read frequently, created occasionally, and often require partial changes without conflict. The data store is not expected to grow beyond 2TB. and items will be expired according to age and content type.
Which AWS service solution meets these requirements?
After launching a new Amazon EC2 instance from a Microsoft Windows 2012 Amazon Machine Image (AMI), the SysOps Administrator is unable to connect to the instance using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

What should be the next logical step in troubleshooting the first instance?
A company is expanding its use of AWS services across its portfolios. The company wants to provision AWS accounts for each team to ensure a separation of business processes for security, compliance, and billing account creation and bootstrapping should be completed in a scalable and efficient way so new accounts are created with a defined baseline and governance guardrails in place. A sysops administrator needs to design a provisioning process that save time and resources.
Which action should be taken to meet these requirements?

A SysOps Administrator is running Amazon EC2 instances in multiple AWS Regions. The Administrator wants to aggregate the CPU utilization for all instances onto an Amazon CloudWatch dashboard. Each region should be present on the dashboard and represented by a single graph that contains the CPU utilization for all instances in that region.
How can the Administrator meet these requirements?

Which action will the administrator of the second account be able to perform?
A company has a business application hosted on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load
Balancer. Amazon CloudWatch metrics show that the CPU utilization on the EC2 instances is very high. There are also reports from users that receive HTTP 503 and 504 errors when they try to connect to the application.
Which action will resolve these issues?
A company has a multi-tier web application. In the web tier, all the servers are in private subnets inside a VPC. The development team wants to make changes to the application that requires access to Amazon S3.
What should be done to accomplish this?

How can this request be fulfilled?
A company has several accounts between different teams and wants to increase its auditing and compliance capabilities The accounts are managed through AWS Organizations. Management wants to provide the security team with secure access to the account logs while also restricting the possibility for the logs to be modified.
How can a sysops administrator achieve this is with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
A chief financial officer has asked for a breakdown of costs per project in a single AWS account using cost explorer.
Which combination of options should be set to accomplish this? (Select two)
A web application runs on Amazon EC2 instances and accesses external services. The external services require authentication credentials. The application is deployed using AWS CloudFormation to three separate environments development test, and production Each environment requires unique credentials for external services
What option securely provides the application with the needed credential while requiring MINIMAL administrative overhead?
A company is concerned about a security vulnerability impacting its Linux operating system.
What should the SysOps Administrator do to alleviate this concern?
A financial service company is running distributed computing software to manage a fleet of 20 servers for their calculations. There are 2 control nodes and 18 worker nodes to run the calculations. Worker nodes can be automatically started by the control nodes when required. Currently, all nodes are running on demand, and the worker nodes are uses for approximately 4 hours each day.
Which combination of actions will be most cost-effective? (Select Two)
A SysOps Administrator needs to confirm that security best practices are being followed with the AWS account root user.
How should the Administrator ensure that this is done?
An HTTP web application is launched on Amazon EC2 instances behind an ELB Application Load Balancer. The EC2 instances run across multiple Availability Zones. A network ACL and a security group for the load balancer and EC2 instances allow inbound traffic on port 80. After launch, the website cannot be reached over the internet.
What additional step should be taken?
An application team has asked a sysops administrator to provision an additional environment for an application in four additional regions. The application is running on more than 100 instances in us-east-1, using fully baked AMIs, An AWS CloudFormation template has been created to deploy resources in us-east-1.
What must the sysops administrator do to provision the application quickly?
A SysOps Administrator has implemented a VPC network design with the following requirements
• Two Availability Zones (AZs) - Two private subnets
• Two public subnets
• One internet gateway
• One NAT gateway
What would potentially cause applications in the VPC to fail during an AZ outage?
An application resides on multiple EC2 instances in public subnets in two Availability Zones. To improve security, the Information Security team has deployed an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in separate subnets and pointed the DNS at the ALB instead of the EC2 instances.
After the change, traffic is not reaching the instances, and an error is being returned from the ALB.
What steps must a SysOps Administrator take to resolve this issue and improve the security of the application? (Select TWO.)
