Question 770

A platform engineering team has been asked to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources. Which AWS service, capability, or concept most directly meets the stated need?

  1. Amazon S3 Object Lock
  2. AWS Backup
  3. EC2 instance store
  4. Amazon S3
  5. S3 lifecycle rule

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

AWS Backup matches 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. Amazon S3 is for the different objective to store durable objects and retrieve them by bucket and key.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Amazon S3 Object Lock addresses the separate need to enforce supported WORM retention against object deletion or modification because object Lock supports retention modes and legal holds on eligible S3 object versions; it is not as direct as AWS Backup for the actual requirement to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources.

C:

EC2 instance store addresses the separate need to hold scratch data temporarily on host-attached disks because instance store provides fast ephemeral data storage tied to the host; it is not as direct as AWS Backup for the actual requirement to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources.

D:

Amazon S3 addresses the separate need to store durable objects and retrieve them by bucket and key because S3 is an object storage service for files and data blobs rather than mounted block devices; it is not as direct as AWS Backup for the actual requirement to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources.

E:

S3 lifecycle rule addresses the separate need to transition or expire objects automatically based on age and criteria because lifecycle configuration can move objects into eligible classes or delete them on schedule; it is not as direct as AWS Backup for the actual requirement to centrally manage backup plans across supported AWS resources.

Question 771

A solution uses AWS Global Accelerator for the requirement to improve global network paths and health-based endpoint selection using anycast IPs. Which operating behavior underlies that use?

  1. This capability provides a dedicated network connection through supported locations.
  2. This capability uses the AWS global network to route traffic to regional endpoints.
  3. Latency-based policies choose among configured Region records using AWS latency observations.
  4. A VPC defines virtual networking boundaries and hosts configurable subnets and routing.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

AWS Global Accelerator meets the goal to improve global network paths and health-based endpoint selection using anycast IPs because global Accelerator uses the AWS global network to route traffic to regional endpoints. It does not primarily cache files at edge locations.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That description belongs to AWS Direct Connect because direct Connect provides a dedicated network connection through supported locations; it is used to establish dedicated private network connectivity from a site to AWS, not to explain how AWS Global Accelerator provides the function to improve global network paths and health-based endpoint selection using anycast IPs.

C:

That description belongs to Route 53 latency routing because latency-based policies choose among configured Region records using AWS latency observations; it is used to answer DNS requests with an endpoint selected for lower network latency, not to explain how AWS Global Accelerator provides the function to improve global network paths and health-based endpoint selection using anycast IPs.

D:

That description belongs to Amazon VPC because a VPC defines virtual networking boundaries and hosts configurable subnets and routing; it is used to create a logically isolated IP network for AWS resources, not to explain how AWS Global Accelerator provides the function to improve global network paths and health-based endpoint selection using anycast IPs.

Question 772

During the application integration review, the requirement is to route events from producers to targets using event patterns. Which option best addresses that exact requirement?

  1. Amazon EventBridge
  2. AWS Service Catalog
  3. Amazon CloudWatch
  4. AWS Amplify

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Amazon EventBridge matches the goal to route events from producers to targets using event patterns because eventBridge provides event buses and rule-based matching for supported events. Event routing differs from maintaining a persistent queue for worker polling. AWS Amplify is for the different objective to build and host web or mobile application frontends with integrated workflows.

Incorrect Answers

B:

AWS Service Catalog addresses the separate need to offer provisionable approved products to internal teams because service Catalog enables controlled self-service of predefined infrastructure products; it is not as direct as Amazon EventBridge for the actual requirement to route events from producers to targets using event patterns.

C:

Amazon CloudWatch addresses the separate need to observe metrics logs alarms and events for running resources because cloudWatch helps monitor AWS workloads and alert on selected conditions; it is not as direct as Amazon EventBridge for the actual requirement to route events from producers to targets using event patterns.

D:

AWS Amplify addresses the separate need to build and host web or mobile application frontends with integrated workflows because amplify provides frontend deployment and backend integrations for app teams; it is not as direct as Amazon EventBridge for the actual requirement to route events from producers to targets using event patterns.

Question 774

A cloud design relies on CloudFront origin to provide the source from which edge caches fetch content on a miss. What capability or process actually provides that outcome?

  1. A CloudFront distribution retrieves objects or responses from a configured origin when needed.
  2. Cross-Region replication moves eligible objects or database data into a different geography when configured.
  3. This capability is a content delivery network that caches eligible content at global edge sites.
  4. An AWS Region is a distinct geographic location containing multiple Availability Zones.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

CloudFront origin meets the goal to provide the source from which edge caches fetch content on a miss because a CloudFront distribution retrieves objects or responses from a configured origin when needed. An origin can still be a single point of failure unless designed for resilience.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That description belongs to Cross-Region replication because cross-Region replication moves eligible objects or database data into a different geography when configured; it is used to maintain copies of selected data outside its source Region, not to explain how CloudFront origin provides the function to provide the source from which edge caches fetch content on a miss.

C:

That description belongs to Amazon CloudFront because cloudFront is a content delivery network that caches eligible content at global edge sites; it is used to cache web content at distributed edge locations near viewers, not to explain how CloudFront origin provides the function to provide the source from which edge caches fetch content on a miss.

D:

That description belongs to AWS Region because an AWS Region is a distinct geographic location containing multiple Availability Zones; it is used to select a geographic area in which to place a workload, not to explain how CloudFront origin provides the function to provide the source from which edge caches fetch content on a miss.

Question 775

A team has chosen Manual console provisioning to perform a one-off configuration with interactive review. Which description explains the mechanism that makes this selection appropriate?

  1. The console provides graphical pages to view and configure AWS resources.
  2. Change sets preview resource modifications CloudFormation plans to make.
  3. The console suits an infrequent human-guided operation when repetition is not the priority.
  4. Dashboards visualize metrics and alarms for monitored systems.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Manual console provisioning meets the goal to perform a one-off configuration with interactive review because the console suits an infrequent human-guided operation when repetition is not the priority. Large repeated environments tend to benefit more from automation.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That description belongs to AWS Management Console because the console provides graphical pages to view and configure AWS resources; it is used to perform occasional AWS administration through a browser interface, not to explain how Manual console provisioning provides the function to perform a one-off configuration with interactive review.

B:

That description belongs to AWS CloudFormation change sets because change sets preview resource modifications CloudFormation plans to make; it is used to review proposed stack changes before executing them, not to explain how Manual console provisioning provides the function to perform a one-off configuration with interactive review.

D:

That description belongs to AWS CloudWatch dashboards because dashboards visualize metrics and alarms for monitored systems; it is used to inspect selected operational measurements in one view, not to explain how Manual console provisioning provides the function to perform a one-off configuration with interactive review.

Question 776

A team already uses AWS Database Migration Service to move ongoing database data between supported source and destination engines. It now must move data between database engines of the same general type, which is a separate requirement. What should it select for that new objective?

  1. Amazon ElastiCache
  2. AWS Database Migration Service
  3. Amazon RDS
  4. Homogeneous database migration

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Homogeneous database migration addresses the new need to move data between database engines of the same general type because a homogeneous migration usually involves compatible source and target database engines; AWS Database Migration Service supports the different existing task to move ongoing database data between supported source and destination engines.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Amazon ElastiCache is intended to cache frequently accessed application data in memory because elastiCache offers managed in-memory caching engines to reduce repetitive backend reads; in this design the new outcome is to move data between database engines of the same general type, which calls for Homogeneous database migration rather than Amazon ElastiCache or the earlier AWS Database Migration Service.

B:

AWS Database Migration Service primarily supports the earlier need to move ongoing database data between supported source and destination engines because AWS DMS can perform initial loading and change data capture for supported databases, but the new task is to move data between database engines of the same general type; that is why Homogeneous database migration is preferable here.

C:

Amazon RDS is intended to operate a managed relational database engine because RDS automates selected relational database operations including backup and patching; in this design the new outcome is to move data between database engines of the same general type, which calls for Homogeneous database migration rather than Amazon RDS or the earlier AWS Database Migration Service.

Question 777

The workload already uses Amazon Redshift to analyze large structured data sets in a columnar warehouse. A second workstream needs to cache frequently accessed application data in memory. Which AWS choice fits the second workstream?

  1. Amazon ElastiCache
  2. Amazon Redshift
  3. DynamoDB global tables
  4. DynamoDB point-in-time recovery

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Amazon ElastiCache addresses the new need to cache frequently accessed application data in memory because elastiCache offers managed in-memory caching engines to reduce repetitive backend reads; Amazon Redshift supports the different existing task to analyze large structured data sets in a columnar warehouse.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Amazon Redshift primarily supports the earlier need to analyze large structured data sets in a columnar warehouse because redshift provides a cloud data warehouse optimized for analytical SQL workloads, but the new task is to cache frequently accessed application data in memory; that is why Amazon ElastiCache is preferable here.

C:

DynamoDB global tables is intended to provide multi-Region active-active replication for a DynamoDB application because global tables replicate supported data across selected Regions for regional workloads; in this design the new outcome is to cache frequently accessed application data in memory, which calls for Amazon ElastiCache rather than DynamoDB global tables or the earlier Amazon Redshift.

D:

DynamoDB point-in-time recovery is intended to restore supported table data to a recent earlier point because pITR continuously backs up eligible DynamoDB table data for point-in-time restore within its retention window; in this design the new outcome is to cache frequently accessed application data in memory, which calls for Amazon ElastiCache rather than DynamoDB point-in-time recovery or the earlier Amazon Redshift.

Question 778

A decision meeting distinguishes between two outcomes: run a cloud-based customer contact center, and observe metrics logs alarms and events for running resources. The first is handled using Amazon Connect. Which option directly supports the second?

  1. Amazon Connect
  2. Amazon SQS
  3. Amazon CloudWatch
  4. Amazon EventBridge

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Amazon CloudWatch addresses the new need to observe metrics logs alarms and events for running resources because cloudWatch helps monitor AWS workloads and alert on selected conditions; Amazon Connect supports the different existing task to run a cloud-based customer contact center.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Amazon Connect primarily supports the earlier need to run a cloud-based customer contact center because connect supplies hosted omnichannel contact-center capabilities, but the new task is to observe metrics logs alarms and events for running resources; that is why Amazon CloudWatch is preferable here.

B:

Amazon SQS is intended to decouple systems with durable asynchronous message queues because sQS holds messages for consumers to process independently; in this design the new outcome is to observe metrics logs alarms and events for running resources, which calls for Amazon CloudWatch rather than Amazon SQS or the earlier Amazon Connect.

D:

Amazon EventBridge is intended to route events from producers to targets using event patterns because eventBridge provides event buses and rule-based matching for supported events; in this design the new outcome is to observe metrics logs alarms and events for running resources, which calls for Amazon CloudWatch rather than Amazon EventBridge or the earlier Amazon Connect.

Question 779

For a new AWS implementation, a team must archive data with retrieval time measured in minutes to hours. Which available choice is most specifically intended for that function?

  1. S3 multi-part upload
  2. S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval
  3. Amazon S3 Object Lock
  4. S3 Glacier Deep Archive

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval matches the goal to archive data with retrieval time measured in minutes to hours because flexible Retrieval supports lower-cost archival storage using asynchronous restore options. It is not the right choice when every request requires instantaneous access. S3 multi-part upload is for the different objective to upload very large objects as separately transmitted parts.

Incorrect Answers

A:

S3 multi-part upload addresses the separate need to upload very large objects as separately transmitted parts because Multi-part upload improves resilience and transfer management for large S3 objects; it is not as direct as S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval for the actual requirement to archive data with retrieval time measured in minutes to hours.

C:

Amazon S3 Object Lock addresses the separate need to enforce supported WORM retention against object deletion or modification because object Lock supports retention modes and legal holds on eligible S3 object versions; it is not as direct as S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval for the actual requirement to archive data with retrieval time measured in minutes to hours.

D:

S3 Glacier Deep Archive addresses the separate need to retain long-lived archives at very low storage cost when restoration can be slow because deep Archive is designed for extremely infrequent access and long retention; it is not as direct as S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval for the actual requirement to archive data with retrieval time measured in minutes to hours.

Question 780

Before relying on AWS Global Accelerator to route user traffic toward healthy regional endpoints through AWS global network paths, a reviewer wants one specifically relevant limitation or qualification documented. Which statement best belongs in the review?

  1. A Region selection determines geography but does not automatically make an application multi-Region.
  2. An edge site is not a full substitute for application compute in an AWS Region.
  3. It is not primarily an object cache like CloudFront.
  4. Multiple AZs help with facility-level failures without being geographically separate Regions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

It is not primarily an object cache like CloudFront; this qualification applies directly to AWS Global Accelerator when the intended outcome is to route user traffic toward healthy regional endpoints through AWS global network paths, rather than to another capability.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A Region selection determines geography but does not automatically make an application multi-Region; that caveat is associated more closely with AWS Region for the need to select a geographic area in which to place a workload than with AWS Global Accelerator for the requirement to route user traffic toward healthy regional endpoints through AWS global network paths.

B:

An edge site is not a full substitute for application compute in an AWS Region; that caveat is associated more closely with Edge location for the need to deliver cached content closer to geographically dispersed end users than with AWS Global Accelerator for the requirement to route user traffic toward healthy regional endpoints through AWS global network paths.

D:

Multiple AZs help with facility-level failures without being geographically separate Regions; that caveat is associated more closely with Availability Zone for the need to separate redundant application components across isolated facilities within one Region than with AWS Global Accelerator for the requirement to route user traffic toward healthy regional endpoints through AWS global network paths.
