Question 201<\/b><\/h3>\n

A company needs to run a containerized application without managing servers or the underlying compute infrastructure. Which AWS service is most appropriate?<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Amazon EC2<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Amazon EKS with managed nodes<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. AWS Batch<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Correct Answer: 2<\/b><\/p>\n

    Explanation<\/b><\/p>\n

    Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate allows organizations to run containers without provisioning or managing EC2 instances. Fargate handles the underlying compute infrastructure while the company defines the containers, CPU, memory, networking, and other task requirements. This model is useful when teams want the benefits of containers without managing operating systems or server capacity. EC2 requires infrastructure management, while EKS is primarily a Kubernetes service and AWS Batch targets batch computing workloads. Therefore, ECS with Fargate is the appropriate serverless container solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Question 202<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Which AWS capability allows an organization to connect its on-premises network to AWS using a dedicated private connection?<\/b><\/p>\n

    3. Internet Gateway<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. VPC Peering<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Correct Answer: 1<\/b><\/p>\n

      Explanation<\/b><\/p>\n

      AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection between an organization’s on-premises environment and AWS. It can provide more consistent network performance and avoid relying entirely on internet-based connectivity. Direct Connect can also be combined with VPN connections for additional resilience. NAT Gateway provides outbound internet access for private resources, Internet Gateway enables internet connectivity for VPC resources, and VPC Peering connects VPCs. Therefore, Direct Connect is the appropriate option when dedicated private connectivity to AWS is required.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Question 203<\/b><\/h3>\n

      A workload must process millions of messages asynchronously and tolerate temporary processing failures. Which service is most suitable?<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Amazon SNS<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Amazon EventBridge<\/span><\/li>\n

      4. AWS Step Functions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Correct Answer: 3<\/b><\/p>\n

        Explanation<\/b><\/p>\n

        Amazon SQS provides durable message queuing that allows producers and consumers to operate independently. Messages can remain in the queue until consumers successfully process them, helping applications tolerate temporary failures and traffic spikes. SQS also supports visibility timeouts and dead-letter queues for handling unsuccessful processing. SNS primarily provides publish-subscribe messaging, EventBridge routes events, and Step Functions coordinates workflows. Therefore, SQS is the most suitable service when an application needs asynchronous processing and reliable message buffering.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Question 204<\/b><\/h3>\n

        A company wants to encrypt sensitive data stored in Amazon S3 using keys that it controls and manages. Which option should be used?<\/b><\/p>\n

          \n

        4. S3 SSE-KMS with a customer managed KMS key<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Correct Answer: 4<\/b><\/p>\n

          Explanation<\/b><\/p>\n

          Amazon S3 SSE-KMS allows objects to be encrypted using AWS Key Management Service keys. A customer managed KMS key provides greater control over key policies, permissions, rotation settings, and usage monitoring than AWS-owned encryption mechanisms. SSE-S3 uses keys managed by Amazon S3, while Shield provides DDoS protection. Client-side encryption is another approach but requires the application to perform encryption before uploading data. Therefore, SSE-KMS with a customer managed key is appropriate when centralized control over encryption keys is required.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Question 205<\/b><\/h3>\n

                                      Explanation<\/b><\/p>\n

                                      Amazon Macie is designed to discover and protect sensitive data stored in Amazon S3. It can use machine learning and pattern matching to identify sensitive information, including certain types of personally identifiable information. This helps organizations understand where sensitive data exists and identify potentially risky storage configurations. Inspector focuses on workload vulnerabilities, WAF protects web applications, and Detective assists with security investigations. Therefore, Amazon Macie is the appropriate service for discovering sensitive information in S3.<\/span><\/p>\n

                                      Which AWS service can provide centralized logging of API calls made to AWS services?<\/b><\/p>\n

                                        \n
                                      1. Amazon CloudWatch<\/span><\/li>\n
                                      2. AWS CloudTrail<\/span><\/li>\n

                                        Correct Answer: 2<\/b><\/p>\n

                                        Explanation<\/b><\/p>\n

                                        AWS CloudTrail records API activity within AWS environments and provides information about actions performed by users, roles, and AWS services. CloudTrail events can be used for auditing, security investigations, governance, and operational troubleshooting. CloudWatch focuses on metrics, logs, and monitoring, Config records resource configurations, and OpenSearch can analyze logs but does not itself provide the primary AWS API activity recording capability. Therefore, CloudTrail is the appropriate service for centralized auditing of AWS API calls.<\/span><\/p>\n

                                        Question 220<\/b><\/h3>\n

                                        A company wants to deploy a new application version gradually while minimizing the impact of a potential deployment failure. Which deployment strategy is appropriate?<\/b><\/p>\n

                                          \n
                                        1. All-at-once deployment<\/span><\/li>\n
                                        2. In-place deployment without testing<\/span><\/li>\n
                                        3. Canary deployment<\/span><\/li>\n
                                        4. Manual deployment on every server<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                          Correct Answer: 3<\/b><\/p>\n

                                          Explanation<\/b><\/p>\n

                                          A canary deployment releases a new application version to a small portion of users or infrastructure before expanding the deployment to the remaining environment. This allows the organization to monitor performance, errors, and user impact before committing to a full rollout. If problems are detected, the deployment can be stopped or rolled back with a smaller affected population. An all-at-once deployment exposes all users immediately, while manual deployment lacks controlled rollout mechanisms. Therefore, a canary strategy is suitable for minimizing deployment risk.<\/span><\/p>\n
