Question 710

An AWS workload is being designed to store key-value or document data with managed NoSQL scaling. What is the most appropriate capability or approach?

  1. DynamoDB global tables
  2. Amazon DocumentDB
  3. Amazon DynamoDB
  4. Amazon ElastiCache

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Amazon DynamoDB matches the goal to store key-value or document data with managed NoSQL scaling because DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database with service-managed infrastructure. It is not a drop-in replacement for arbitrary relational joins and SQL schemas. DynamoDB global tables is for the different objective to provide multi-Region active-active replication for a DynamoDB application.

Incorrect Answers

A:

DynamoDB global tables addresses the separate need to provide multi-Region active-active replication for a DynamoDB application because global tables replicate supported data across selected Regions for regional workloads; it is not as direct as Amazon DynamoDB for the actual requirement to store key-value or document data with managed NoSQL scaling.

B:

Amazon DocumentDB addresses the separate need to run JSON document workloads using MongoDB-compatible APIs because documentDB offers managed document database capabilities for suitable MongoDB workloads; it is not as direct as Amazon DynamoDB for the actual requirement to store key-value or document data with managed NoSQL scaling.

D:

Amazon ElastiCache addresses the separate need to cache frequently accessed application data in memory because elastiCache offers managed in-memory caching engines to reduce repetitive backend reads; it is not as direct as Amazon DynamoDB for the actual requirement to store key-value or document data with managed NoSQL scaling.

Question 715

The solution currently handles its need to perform a one-off configuration with interactive review with Manual console provisioning. A new requirement is to orchestrate source-to-deployment stages automatically instead. Which service or principle addresses that different need?

  1. Repeatable deployment pipeline
  2. AWS CodePipeline
  3. Manual console provisioning
  4. AWS SDKs

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

AWS CodePipeline addresses the new need to orchestrate source-to-deployment stages automatically because codePipeline coordinates supported actions across a delivery workflow; Manual console provisioning supports the different existing task to perform a one-off configuration with interactive review.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Repeatable deployment pipeline is intended to apply the same deployment process across development and production because automated workflows reduce configuration drift between environments by executing controlled steps; in this design the new outcome is to orchestrate source-to-deployment stages automatically, which calls for AWS CodePipeline rather than Repeatable deployment pipeline or the earlier Manual console provisioning.

C:

Manual console provisioning primarily supports the earlier need to perform a one-off configuration with interactive review because the console suits an infrequent human-guided operation when repetition is not the priority, but the new task is to orchestrate source-to-deployment stages automatically; that is why AWS CodePipeline is preferable here.

D:

AWS SDKs is intended to integrate AWS service requests directly into application source code because sDKs provide language libraries and request handling for application integrations with AWS APIs; in this design the new outcome is to orchestrate source-to-deployment stages automatically, which calls for AWS CodePipeline rather than AWS SDKs or the earlier Manual console provisioning.

Question 716

In the compute planning, the team must address 3 distinct tasks: first, run applications needing high local storage IOPS or throughput; second, obtain eligible EC2 billing discounts for committed usage attributes; third, operate virtual servers with explicit OS and instance management. Select the THREE most suitable services or concepts. Choose THREE.

  1. Memory optimized EC2 instance
  2. Reserved Instances
  3. Horizontal EC2 scaling
  4. Storage optimized EC2 instance
  5. Amazon Lightsail
  6. Amazon EC2

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Reserved Instances covers the listed need to obtain eligible EC2 billing discounts for committed usage attributes because reserved Instances are a pricing mechanism for eligible instance usage commitments; it belongs in the keyed set alongside Storage optimized EC2 instance to run applications needing high local storage IOPS or throughput and Amazon EC2 to operate virtual servers with explicit OS and instance management.

D:

Storage optimized EC2 instance covers the listed need to run applications needing high local storage IOPS or throughput because storage-optimized families offer specialized local storage performance for eligible workloads; it belongs in the keyed set alongside Reserved Instances to obtain eligible EC2 billing discounts for committed usage attributes and Amazon EC2 to operate virtual servers with explicit OS and instance management.

F:

Amazon EC2 covers the listed need to operate virtual servers with explicit OS and instance management because EC2 provides configurable compute instances where customers manage guest OS and application software; it belongs in the keyed set alongside Storage optimized EC2 instance to run applications needing high local storage IOPS or throughput and Reserved Instances to obtain eligible EC2 billing discounts for committed usage attributes.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Memory optimized EC2 instance addresses a different objective, to support applications with large in-memory working sets, because memory-optimized families provide higher RAM-to-vCPU ratios for memory-bound applications; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to run applications needing high local storage IOPS or throughput; obtain eligible EC2 billing discounts for committed usage attributes; operate virtual servers with explicit OS and instance management.

C:

Horizontal EC2 scaling addresses a different objective, to add parallel instance capacity for a distributed application, because horizontal scaling adds multiple instances that can share workload when architecture supports it; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to run applications needing high local storage IOPS or throughput; obtain eligible EC2 billing discounts for committed usage attributes; operate virtual servers with explicit OS and instance management.

E:

Amazon Lightsail addresses a different objective, to launch simple virtual servers with bundled management and predictable plans, because lightsail packages compute networking and storage for straightforward applications; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to run applications needing high local storage IOPS or throughput; obtain eligible EC2 billing discounts for committed usage attributes; operate virtual servers with explicit OS and instance management.

Question 717

An AWS workload is being designed to separate redundant application components across isolated facilities within one Region. What is the most appropriate capability or approach?

  1. AWS Global Accelerator
  2. Application availability versus data durability
  3. Availability Zone
  4. AWS Region
  5. Data residency by Region

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Availability Zone matches the goal to separate redundant application components across isolated facilities within one Region because an Availability Zone is one or more discrete data centers with independent infrastructure in a Region. Multiple AZs help with facility-level failures without being geographically separate Regions. Application availability versus data durability is for the different objective to separate immediate service accessibility from long-term data survival.

Incorrect Answers

A:

AWS Global Accelerator addresses the separate need to route user traffic toward healthy regional endpoints through AWS global network paths because global Accelerator uses static anycast IP addresses and endpoint health information to improve availability and performance; it is not as direct as Availability Zone for the actual requirement to separate redundant application components across isolated facilities within one Region.

B:

Application availability versus data durability addresses the separate need to separate immediate service accessibility from long-term data survival because availability concerns whether a service is usable; durability concerns retaining stored data; it is not as direct as Availability Zone for the actual requirement to separate redundant application components across isolated facilities within one Region.

D:

AWS Region addresses the separate need to select a geographic area in which to place a workload because an AWS Region is a distinct geographic location containing multiple Availability Zones; it is not as direct as Availability Zone for the actual requirement to separate redundant application components across isolated facilities within one Region.

E:

Data residency by Region addresses the separate need to keep stored customer data in a selected geography because region placement and configured replication determine where supported AWS workload data resides; it is not as direct as Availability Zone for the actual requirement to separate redundant application components across isolated facilities within one Region.

B:

Amazon EventBridge covers the listed need to route events from producers to targets using event patterns because eventBridge provides event buses and rule-based matching for supported events; it belongs in the keyed set alongside AWS Systems Manager to perform operational automation and inventory for fleets.

Incorrect Answers

C:

AWS IoT Device Management addresses a different objective, to organize and manage fleets of supported connected devices, because ioT device management capabilities help register organize and monitor connected devices; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to perform operational automation and inventory for fleets; route events from producers to targets using event patterns.

D:

AWS Developer Tools addresses a different objective, to recognize the separation of build release deploy and tracing functions, because AWS developer services specialize in different steps of software delivery; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to perform operational automation and inventory for fleets; route events from producers to targets using event patterns.

E:

AWS Service Catalog addresses a different objective, to offer provisionable approved products to internal teams, because service Catalog enables controlled self-service of predefined infrastructure products; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to perform operational automation and inventory for fleets; route events from producers to targets using event patterns.

Question 719

A cloud design relies on AWS Backup to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources. What capability or process actually provides that outcome?

  1. Encrypted EBS volumes use integrated key management for data at rest.
  2. S3 encrypts stored object data at rest and supports key-management choices.
  3. DataSync moves files or objects between on-premises and AWS storage systems with verification.
  4. AWS Backup coordinates scheduled backup and retention policies for eligible services.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

AWS Backup meets the goal to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources because AWS Backup coordinates scheduled backup and retention policies for eligible services. A backup job is not the same as near-zero-downtime availability replication.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That description belongs to EBS volume encryption because encrypted EBS volumes use integrated key management for data at rest; it is used to protect block storage with supported at-rest encryption, not to explain how AWS Backup provides the function to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources.

B:

That description belongs to S3 server-side encryption because S3 encrypts stored object data at rest and supports key-management choices; it is used to encrypt S3 object data at rest using supported key arrangements, not to explain how AWS Backup provides the function to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources.

C:

That description belongs to AWS DataSync because dataSync moves files or objects between on-premises and AWS storage systems with verification; it is used to accelerate and automate transfers between supported storage locations, not to explain how AWS Backup provides the function to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources.

Question 720

A team already uses VPC endpoint to connect supported VPC workloads privately to selected AWS services. It now must resolve application domain names and apply supported DNS routing policies, which is a separate requirement. What should it select for that new objective?

  1. Amazon Route 53
  2. VPC endpoint
  3. Security group
  4. Internet gateway

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Amazon Route 53 addresses the new need to resolve application domain names and apply supported DNS routing policies because Route 53 is a managed DNS and domain service with traffic-routing and health-check features; VPC endpoint supports the different existing task to connect supported VPC workloads privately to selected AWS services.

Incorrect Answers

B:

VPC endpoint primarily supports the earlier need to connect supported VPC workloads privately to selected AWS services because VPC endpoints provide service connectivity without requiring a public internet path, but the new task is to resolve application domain names and apply supported DNS routing policies; that is why Amazon Route 53 is preferable here.

C:

Security group is intended to enforce stateful inbound and outbound rules on supported resources because security groups act as virtual firewalls associated with network interfaces; in this design the new outcome is to resolve application domain names and apply supported DNS routing policies, which calls for Amazon Route 53 rather than Security group or the earlier VPC endpoint.

D:

Internet gateway is intended to enable internet routing for resources in a VPC with suitable configuration because an internet gateway connects a VPC to the internet for eligible public addressing paths; in this design the new outcome is to resolve application domain names and apply supported DNS routing policies, which calls for Amazon Route 53 rather than Internet gateway or the earlier VPC endpoint.
