Question 1080

A team already uses Data transfer into AWS to distinguish inbound network traffic charges from other data movement. It now must estimate egress charges for delivering AWS data to external users, which is a separate requirement. What should it select for that new objective?

  1. Regional pricing differences
  2. Data transfer out to internet
  3. Serverless invocation pricing
  4. Data transfer into AWS

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Data transfer out to internet addresses the new need to estimate egress charges for delivering AWS data to external users because outbound traffic may generate data-transfer charges depending on service and free allowances; Data transfer into AWS supports the different existing task to distinguish inbound network traffic charges from other data movement.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Regional pricing differences is intended to estimate deployment costs using actual AWS Region prices because pricing for many AWS resources varies by location and service settings; in this design the new outcome is to estimate egress charges for delivering AWS data to external users, which calls for Data transfer out to internet rather than Regional pricing differences or the earlier Data transfer into AWS.

C:

Serverless invocation pricing is intended to align charges with events and execution rather than idle VM runtime because services such as Lambda charge based on request and execution characteristics under their pricing models; in this design the new outcome is to estimate egress charges for delivering AWS data to external users, which calls for Data transfer out to internet rather than Serverless invocation pricing or the earlier Data transfer into AWS.

D:

Data transfer into AWS primarily supports the earlier need to distinguish inbound network traffic charges from other data movement because data transfer into AWS from the internet is generally free for many standard services, but the new task is to estimate egress charges for delivering AWS data to external users; that is why Data transfer out to internet is preferable here.

Question 1081

The workload already uses Storage request pricing to include operations alongside capacity when estimating object-storage spend. A second workstream needs to reserve compute capacity in a particular Availability Zone when needed. Which AWS choice fits the second workstream?

  1. EC2 Spot Instances
  2. EC2 Capacity Reservation
  3. Spot fleet resilience
  4. Storage request pricing

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

EC2 Capacity Reservation addresses the new need to reserve compute capacity in a particular Availability Zone when needed because on-Demand Capacity Reservations hold matching capacity for eligible EC2 instances; Storage request pricing supports the different existing task to include operations alongside capacity when estimating object-storage spend.

Incorrect Answers

A:

EC2 Spot Instances is intended to run interruptible compute at potentially deep discounts because Spot Instances use spare EC2 capacity and can be interrupted when AWS needs it; in this design the new outcome is to reserve compute capacity in a particular Availability Zone when needed, which calls for EC2 Capacity Reservation rather than EC2 Spot Instances or the earlier Storage request pricing.

C:

Spot fleet resilience is intended to diversify interruptible capacity across eligible pools because spreading Spot use among instance types and Availability Zones can reduce reliance on one capacity pool; in this design the new outcome is to reserve compute capacity in a particular Availability Zone when needed, which calls for EC2 Capacity Reservation rather than Spot fleet resilience or the earlier Storage request pricing.

D:

Storage request pricing primarily supports the earlier need to include operations alongside capacity when estimating object-storage spend because object storage can charge for API requests in addition to stored gigabytes, but the new task is to reserve compute capacity in a particular Availability Zone when needed; that is why EC2 Capacity Reservation is preferable here.

Question 1082

A decision meeting distinguishes between two outcomes: align support cases with the operational impact of an issue, and open and manage eligible AWS support cases. The first is handled using AWS Support response severity. Which option directly supports the second?

  1. AWS Support response severity
  2. AWS Support Center
  3. Basic Support
  4. AWS Marketplace entitlement management

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

AWS Support Center addresses the new need to open and manage eligible AWS support cases because support Center is the portal for case management according to account support entitlements; AWS Support response severity supports the different existing task to align support cases with the operational impact of an issue.

Incorrect Answers

A:

AWS Support response severity primarily supports the earlier need to align support cases with the operational impact of an issue because support response goals vary by support plan and case severity classification, but the new task is to open and manage eligible AWS support cases; that is why AWS Support Center is preferable here.

C:

Basic Support is intended to access included account support and baseline AWS service resources because basic Support includes customer service and supported documentation or community resources; in this design the new outcome is to open and manage eligible AWS support cases, which calls for AWS Support Center rather than Basic Support or the earlier AWS Support response severity.

D:

AWS Marketplace entitlement management is intended to manage rights to deploy subscribed software offerings because marketplace and associated procurement tools track eligible subscription entitlements; in this design the new outcome is to open and manage eligible AWS support cases, which calls for AWS Support Center rather than AWS Marketplace entitlement management or the earlier AWS Support response severity.

Question 1083

The solution currently handles its need to store billing detail for downstream analysis with Cost and Usage Report to S3. A new requirement is to identify unusually high spending patterns that depart from expectations instead. Which service or principle addresses that different need?

  1. Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations
  2. Cost and Usage Report to S3
  3. AWS Cost Explorer
  4. Cost anomaly detection

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Cost anomaly detection addresses the new need to identify unusually high spending patterns that depart from expectations because AWS Cost Anomaly Detection monitors supported cost signals and can alert on anomalies; Cost and Usage Report to S3 supports the different existing task to store billing detail for downstream analysis.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations is intended to identify potential savings from overprovisioned compute because cost tools can analyze utilization to suggest appropriate instance changes; in this design the new outcome is to identify unusually high spending patterns that depart from expectations, which calls for Cost anomaly detection rather than Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations or the earlier Cost and Usage Report to S3.

B:

Cost and Usage Report to S3 primarily supports the earlier need to store billing detail for downstream analysis because AWS can deliver granular CUR files to an S3 bucket for querying or reporting, but the new task is to identify unusually high spending patterns that depart from expectations; that is why Cost anomaly detection is preferable here.

C:

AWS Cost Explorer is intended to analyze historical spending and trends with interactive visualizations because cost Explorer groups and filters cost and usage data to show spending patterns; in this design the new outcome is to identify unusually high spending patterns that depart from expectations, which calls for Cost anomaly detection rather than AWS Cost Explorer or the earlier Cost and Usage Report to S3.

  3. AWS Security Blog
  4. Enterprise proactive guidance

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

AWS Enterprise Support addresses the new need to receive deeper proactive expert guidance for critical organization workloads because enterprise Support targets business-critical customers requiring advanced guidance and support engagement; Enterprise proactive guidance supports the different existing task to improve operational practices using higher-tier service engagement.

Incorrect Answers

B:

AWS whitepapers is intended to study architecture and security guidance published by AWS because whitepapers explain AWS practices and cloud concepts in depth; in this design the new outcome is to receive deeper proactive expert guidance for critical organization workloads, which calls for AWS Enterprise Support rather than AWS whitepapers or the earlier Enterprise proactive guidance.

C:

AWS Security Blog is intended to learn about AWS security guidance and announcements because the Security Blog publishes security-related service explanations and practices; in this design the new outcome is to receive deeper proactive expert guidance for critical organization workloads, which calls for AWS Enterprise Support rather than AWS Security Blog or the earlier Enterprise proactive guidance.

D:

Enterprise proactive guidance primarily supports the earlier need to improve operational practices using higher-tier service engagement because higher support tiers add proactive and specialized assistance beyond basic reactive troubleshooting, but the new task is to receive deeper proactive expert guidance for critical organization workloads; that is why AWS Enterprise Support is preferable here.

Question 1085

An AWS implementation has already addressed identify potential savings from overprovisioned compute by using Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations. Its remaining gap is to estimate potential discounts from stable eligible compute spend. Which listed capability closes this gap?

  1. Cost allocation tags
  2. AWS Pricing Calculator
  3. Savings Plans recommendations
  4. Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Savings Plans recommendations addresses the new need to estimate potential discounts from stable eligible compute spend because cost management recommendations analyze past usage for commitment opportunities; Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations supports the different existing task to identify potential savings from overprovisioned compute.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Cost allocation tags is intended to attribute eligible AWS resource charges to departments or applications because activated cost allocation tags help classify costs in supported billing tools; in this design the new outcome is to estimate potential discounts from stable eligible compute spend, which calls for Savings Plans recommendations rather than Cost allocation tags or the earlier Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations.

B:

AWS Pricing Calculator is intended to estimate expected AWS service costs before provisioning because pricing Calculator models projected configurations and usage assumptions; in this design the new outcome is to estimate potential discounts from stable eligible compute spend, which calls for Savings Plans recommendations rather than AWS Pricing Calculator or the earlier Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations.

D:

Cost Explorer rightsizing recommendations primarily supports the earlier need to identify potential savings from overprovisioned compute because cost tools can analyze utilization to suggest appropriate instance changes, but the new task is to estimate potential discounts from stable eligible compute spend; that is why Savings Plans recommendations is preferable here.

Question 1086

In a design comparison, Spot fleet resilience is associated with the objective to diversify interruptible capacity across eligible pools. For the distinct objective to run interruptible compute at potentially deep discounts, which option should be preferred?

  1. Standard Reserved Instances
  2. EC2 Dedicated Instances
  3. EC2 Spot Instances
  4. Spot fleet resilience

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

EC2 Spot Instances addresses the new need to run interruptible compute at potentially deep discounts because Spot Instances use spare EC2 capacity and can be interrupted when AWS needs it; Spot fleet resilience supports the different existing task to diversify interruptible capacity across eligible pools.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Standard Reserved Instances is intended to prioritize stronger discounts for relatively stable EC2 requirements because standard RIs offer commitment-based EC2 savings with restricted modification flexibility; in this design the new outcome is to run interruptible compute at potentially deep discounts, which calls for EC2 Spot Instances rather than Standard Reserved Instances or the earlier Spot fleet resilience.

B:

EC2 Dedicated Instances is intended to run instances on hardware dedicated to one AWS customer because dedicated Instances provide single-customer tenancy on EC2 infrastructure; in this design the new outcome is to run interruptible compute at potentially deep discounts, which calls for EC2 Spot Instances rather than EC2 Dedicated Instances or the earlier Spot fleet resilience.

D:

Spot fleet resilience primarily supports the earlier need to diversify interruptible capacity across eligible pools because spreading Spot use among instance types and Availability Zones can reduce reliance on one capacity pool, but the new task is to run interruptible compute at potentially deep discounts; that is why EC2 Spot Instances is preferable here.

  2. AWS Billing console
  3. Savings Plans recommendations
  4. AWS Marketplace subscription charges

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Multi-account billing visibility addresses the new need to distinguish organization-wide spend from a particular linked account because payer and member account cost views can be filtered to separate charges; AWS Marketplace subscription charges supports the different existing task to recognize third-party license and service costs on AWS billing.

Incorrect Answers

B:

AWS Billing console is intended to review current account invoices bills and payment information because billing pages provide charge summaries and account billing management; in this design the new outcome is to distinguish organization-wide spend from a particular linked account, which calls for Multi-account billing visibility rather than AWS Billing console or the earlier AWS Marketplace subscription charges.

C:

Savings Plans recommendations is intended to estimate potential discounts from stable eligible compute spend because cost management recommendations analyze past usage for commitment opportunities; in this design the new outcome is to distinguish organization-wide spend from a particular linked account, which calls for Multi-account billing visibility rather than Savings Plans recommendations or the earlier AWS Marketplace subscription charges.
