You are configuring your application’s compute layer using AWS EC2 Auto Scaling. When configuring the group’s capacity, you have set the auto scaling group’s minimum capacity to four, the desired capacity to 8, and the maximum capacity to 16. When you deploy your auto scaling group, and the instances have completely deployed, how many instances will there be within your group?

You are leading a design meeting for a new client that is migrating their compute environment to the cloud. One of the first design meetings involves Identity and Access Management (IAM). You are giving them an explanation of concept of principals, which is an entity that is allowed to interact with AWS resources. Which is not a type of principal?

9 / 25

You are designing a AWS cloud environment for a client who has a contract with a federal government agency. The cloud environment will have multiple VPCs and be in multiple regions. The government agency wants to whitelist only a handful of instances in your organization. This will dictate that these instances have static IP addresses. Elastic ip addresses can be used to keep a fixed set of IP addresses. How can the Elastic IP addresses (EIP) be used in this environment?

You are an AWS Solutions Architect helping a client plan a migration to the AWS Cloud. The client has provided you with a detailed inventory of their current on-premises compute infrastructure, including metrics related to storage and bandwidth. What tool would you use to estimate the amount of money they will save by migrating to the AWS Cloud?

12 / 25

You have taken on a client that has been configured for AWS cloud and is fully operational. Your investigation of the environment reveals that your predecessor was a highly skilled AWS Architect. You view one instance that handles Internet traffic but also handles back end database traffic in a private subnet. This one instance is configured as a full management network attached to both a public subnet and a private subnet. What AWS device will enable such a configuration for a single instance?

13 / 25

You have an application that is generating a log file every 5 minutes and you need to store these log files appropriately. The requirements for storing the log files are:

  • They should be quickly retrievable when needed, as they may be required only for verification in case of some major issue.
  • The logs will need to be accessed frequently, as all log data is retrieved and compiled from the files into a bi-monthly report.
  • The logs are essential to quarterly audits, so the storage solution must offer a high level of durability.
  • Cost should also be minimized for the storage service as much as possible.

Which of the storage options below is the best choice to meet these requirements?

14 / 25

Your company is in the process of designing an Amazon cloud environment. You have been placed in charge of the design and begin reviewing the design artifacts. You notice that the proposed route table has two routes in it: 10.0.0.0/16 and 0.0.0.0/0. What do you know about these routes? (Choose 3 answers)

An organization is planning to implement a scalable web application with Amazon EC2. The organization is planning to achieve high availability with Multi-AZ features. A single deployment of your application requires 8 vCPUs and 16 GiB total memory. The application workload is very stable, and does not experience spikes in activity. It is possible to divide the workload across separate instances.

Which configuration is the best choice for high availability, disaster recovery, and cost-effectiveness in this scenario?
