They are planning to release a new game and hence, it is necessary to ensure the availability of their website to cater the surge of new players using their platform.Which of the following is the easiest way to achieve this requirement?

Answer:

Create an Auto Scaling Group out of the running EC2 Instance.

Question 3: A company has a newly launched e-commerce website with a Memcached cluster hosted in Amazon ElastiCache. Due to the growth of the site's userbase, the SysOps Administrator needs to vertically scale the ElastiCache cluster by using a larger instance type.Which combination of steps should the Administrator implement in this scenario? (Select TWO.)

Answer:

-Specify the new EC2 instance type in the [CacheNoteType] parameter -use the [CreateCacheCluster] API action to create a new ElastiCache cluster Question 4: A leading commercial bank is currently implementing a hybrid cloud architecture.There is a requirement to use Amazon S3 as your primary data storage while retaining frequently accessed data locally in your storage gateway. The objective is to minimize the need to scale your on-premises storage infrastructure while still providing your applications with low-latency access to their frequently accessed data.Which type of AWS Storage Gateway is best to use for this scenario?

Answer:

Cached Volume Gatewat Question 5: A SysOps Administrator needs to track the usage of cloud resources against the AWS service limit. For easier tracking, the SysOps Administrator team should be notified in the existing Slack channel whenever it is approaching a given limit which will allow them to proactively request a service limit increase or shut down resources before it exceeds the limit.Which of the following is the most suitable solution that can be implemented to meet this requirement?

Answer:

Set up AWS Limit Monitor by using AWS Lambda, AWS Trusted Advisor, and CloudWatch Events rules to track and monitor your AWS service limits which would be sent to your Slack Channel.Question 6: A company uses a Volume Gateway as part of their Hybrid Cloud storage solutions to accommodate its growing application. The Volume Gateway is using stored volumes to save the files stored on-premises with scheduled offsite backups. Due to inadequate capacity planning, the volume is quickly running out of space for new data.How can you expand the volume?

Answer:

Create a snapshot of the volume that you want to expand. Use the snapshot to create a new volume of a larger size.

Question 7: An organization needs to have detailed information on the performance metrics of the AWS resources which are being used to host the website. You know that using the CloudWatch agent enables you to collect more logs and provide more details on the systems, however, you are also aware of its limitations.Which of these functions is not available with CloudWatch agent?

Answer:

Collect information on vulnerabilities and errors that are present in your system and create a report based on the findings of the agent.Question 8: An organization is setting up a WordPress website on two On-Demand EC2 instances that are deployed on a public subnet.

During the initial testing, the SysOps Administrator noticed that the web servers could not establish communication with the RDS instance.Which of the following should the Administrator do to fix this connectivity issue?

Answer:

Check that the security group for the database server is allowing the required inbound communication from the EC2 instance.Question 9: A software development company has a suite of container-based applications on their on-premises data center which must be migrated to AWS. The applications need to be deployed on an infrastructure that automatically handles the details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and application health monitoring.Which of the following service should you use for this scenario?

Answer:
