Question #1 Topic 1

A company wants to migrate its content sharing web application hosted on Amazon EC2 to a serverless architecture. The company currently deploys changes to its application by creating a new Auto Scaling group of EC2 instances and a new Elastic Load Balancer, and then shifting the traffic away using an Amazon Route
53 weighted routing policy.
For its new serverless application, the company is planning to use Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda. The company will need to update its deployment processes to work with the new application. It will also need to retain the ability to test new features on a small number of users before rolling the features out to the entire user base.
Which deployment strategy will meet these requirements?

A. Use AWS CDK to deploy API Gateway and Lambda functions. When code needs to be changed, update the AWS CloudFormation stack and deploy the new version of the APIs and Lambda functions. Use a Route 53 failover routing policy for the canary release strategy.
B. Use AWS CloudFormation to deploy API Gateway and Lambda functions using Lambda function versions. When code needs to be changed, update the CloudFormation stack with the new Lambda code and update the API versions using a canary release strategy. Promote the new version when testing is complete.
C. Use AWS Elastic Beanstalk to deploy API Gateway and Lambda functions. When code needs to be changed, deploy a new version of the API and Lambda functions. Shift traffic gradually using an Elastic Beanstalk blue/green deployment.
D. Use AWS OpsWorks to deploy API Gateway in the service layer and Lambda functions in a custom layer. When code needs to be changed, use OpsWorks to perform a blue/green deployment and shift traffic gradually.

Question #2 Topic 1

A company's application is currently deployed to a single AWS Region. Recently, the company opened a new office on a different continent. The users in the new office are experiencing high latency. The company's application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and uses Amazon
DynamoDB as the database layer. The instances run in an EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. A DevOps Engineer is tasked with minimizing application response times and improving availability for users in both Regions.
Which combination of actions should be taken to address the latency issues? (Choose three.)

A. Create a new DynamoDB table in the new Region with cross-Region replication enabled.
B. Create new ALB and Auto Scaling group global resources and configure the new ALB to direct traffic to the new Auto Scaling group.
C. Create new ALB and Auto Scaling group resources in the new Region and configure the new ALB to direct traffic to the new Auto Scaling group.
D. Create Amazon Route 53 records, health checks, and latency-based routing policies to route to the ALB.
E. Create Amazon Route 53 aliases, health checks, and failover routing policies to route to the ALB.
F. Convert the DynamoDB table to a global table.

Question #3 Topic 1

A DevOps engineer used an AWS CloudFormation custom resource to set up AD Connector. The AWS Lambda function executed and created AD Connector, but
CloudFormation is not transitioning from CREATE_IN_PROGRESS to CREATE_COMPLETE.
Which action should the engineer take to resolve this issue?

A. Ensure the Lambda function code has exited successfully.
B. Ensure the Lambda function code returns a response to the pre-signed URL.
C. Ensure the Lambda function IAM role has cloudformation:UpdateStack permissions for the stack ARN.

A. Allow inbound access to TCP port 22 in all associated EC2 security groups from the VPC CIDR range.
B. Attach an IAM policy with the necessary Systems Manager permissions to the existing IAM instance profile.
C. Create a VPC endpoint for Systems Manager in the desired Region.
D. Deploy a new EC2 instance that will act as a bastion host to the rest of the EC2 instance fleet.
E. Remove any default routes in the associated route tables.

Question #5 Topic 1

A company runs an application with an Amazon EC2 and on-premises configuration. A DevOps Engineer needs to standardize patching across both environments. Company policy dictates that patching only happens during non-business hours.
Which combination of actions will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

A. Add the physical machines into AWS Systems Manager using Systems Manager Hybrid Activations.
B. Attach an IAM role to the EC2 instances, allowing them to be managed by AWS Systems Manager.
C. Create IAM access keys for the on-premises machines to interact with AWS Systems Manager.
D. Execute an AWS Systems Manager Automation document to patch the systems every hour.
E. Use Amazon CloudWatch Events scheduled events to schedule a patch window.
F. Use AWS Systems Manager Maintenance Windows to schedule a patch window.
