Question 1

A company is building a solution for storing files containing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on AWS. Requirements state: *All data must be encrypted at rest and in transit. *All data must be replicated in at least two locations that are at least 500 miles apart. Which solution meets these requirements?
  • Question 2

    You are building a Ruby on Rails application for internal, non-production use which uses MySQL as a
    database. You want developers without very much AWS experience to be able to deploy new code with a
    single command line push. You also want to set this up as simply as possible. Which tool is ideal for this
    setup?
  • Question 3

    A DevOps engineer is writing an AWS CloudFormation template to stand up a web service that will run on Amazon EC2 instances in a private subnet behind an ELB Application Load Balancer. The Engineer must ensure that the service can accept requests from clients that have IPv6 addresses. Which configuration items should the Engineer incorporate into the CloudFormation template to allow IPv6 clients to access the web service?
  • Question 4

    You have implemented a system to automate deployments of your configuration and application dynamically
    after an Amazon EC2 instance in an Auto Scaling group is launched. Your system uses a configuration
    management tool that works in a standalone configuration, where there is no master node. Due to the volatility
    of application load, new instances must be brought into service within three minutes of the launch of the
    instance operating system. The deployment stages take the following times to complete:
    1) Installing configuration management agent: 2mins
    2) Configuring instance using artifacts: 4mins
    3) Installing application framework: 15mins
    4) Deploying application code: 1min
    What process should you use to automate the deployment using this type of standalone agent configuration?
  • Question 5

    A company used AWS CloudFormation to deploy a three-tier web application that stores data in an Amazon RDS MySOL Multi-AZ DB instance. A DevOps Engineer must upgrade the RDS instance to the latest major version of MySQL while incurring minimal downtime. How should the Engineer upgrade the instance while minimizing downtime?
