What best describes the "Principal of Least Privilege"?
A. All users should have the same baseline permissions granted to them to use
basic AWS services.
B. Users should always have a little more access granted to them then they need,
just in case they end up needed it in the future.
C. Users should submit all access request in written so that there is a paper trail of
who needs access to different AWS resources.
D. Users should be granted permission to access only resources they need to do
their assigned job. check_circle

Answer Description
Explanation

This principle is very important as one of the security best practices and it means
granting only the permissions required to perform a task. Determine what users need
to do and then craft policies for them that let the users perform only those tasks.start
with a minimum set of permissions and grant additional permissions as necessary.
Doing so is more secure than starting with permissions that are too lenient and then
trying to tighten them later. For example, a user account for the sole purpose of
creating backups does not need to install software: hence, it has rights only to run
backup and backup-related applications.

Which of the following is not a part of the Cloud Computing models?
 A. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
B. Hardware as a Service (HaaS) check_circle
C. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
D. Software as a Service (SaaS)

Answer Description
Explanation

There are 3 Cloud Computing Models: 1) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) -

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) contains the basic building blocks for cloud IT and
typically provide access to networking features, computers (virtual or on dedicated
hardware), and data storage space. IaaS provides you with the highest level of
flexibility and management control over your IT resources and is most similar to
existing IT resources that many IT departments and developers are familiar with
today. 2) Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Platform as a Service (PaaS) removes the need
for your organization to manage the underlying infrastructure (usually hardware and
operating systems) and allows you to focus on the deployment and management of
your applications. This helps you be more efficient as you don’t need to worry
about resource procurement, capacity planning, software maintenance, patching, or
any of the other undifferentiated heavy lifting involved in running your application. 3)
Software as a Service (SaaS) - Software as a Service (SaaS) provides you with a
completed product that is run and managed by the service provider. In most cases,
people referring to Software as a Service are referring to end-user applications. With
a SaaS offering you do not have to think about how the service is maintained or how
the underlying infrastructure is managed; you only need to think about how you will
use that particular piece of software. A common example of a SaaS application is
web-based email which you can use to send and receive email without having to
manage feature additions to the email product or maintain the servers and operating
systems that the email program is running on. Reference:

allowed or not.
You want to run a questionnaire application for only one day (without
interruptions). Which AWS EC2 purchase option would you choose?
A. Reserved instances
B. Spot instances
C. Dedicated instances
D. On-demand instances check_circle

Answer Description
Explanation

On-Demand Instances—With On-Demand instances, you pay for compute capacity

by the hour with no long-term commitments. You can increase or decrease your
compute capacity depending on the demands of your application and only pay the
specified hourly rate for the instances you use. The use of On-Demand instances
frees you from the costs and complexities of planning, purchasing, and maintaining
hardware and transforms what are commonly large fixed costs into much smaller
variable costs. On-Demand instances also remove the need to buy “safety net”
capacity to handle periodic traffic spikes. Reference:

Answer Description
Explanation

The AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around Regions and Availability Zones (AZs).
AWS Regions provide multiple, physically separated and isolated Availability Zones
which are connected with low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant
networking. These Availability Zones offer AWS customers an easier and more
effective way to design and operate applications and databases, making them more
highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single datacenter
infrastructures or multi-datacenter infrastructures. For customers who specifically
need to replicate their data or applications over greater geographic distances, there
are AWS Local Regions. An AWS Local Region is a single datacenter designed to
complement an existing AWS Region. Like all AWS Regions, AWS Local Regions are
completely isolated from other AWS Regions. The AWS Cloud spans 55 Availability
Zones within 18 geographic Regions and one Local Region around the world.

Upgrading a server with a larger hard drive is an example of __________ . While
adding more hard drives to a storage array is an example of __________ .
A. Vertical Scaling, Horizontal Scaling. check_circle
B. Vertical Scaling, Vertical Scaling.
C. Horizontal Scaling, Vertical Scaling.
D. Horizontal Scaling, Horizontal Scaling.

Answer Description
Explanation

Scaling Vertically: Scaling vertically takes place through an increase in the

specifications of an individual resource (e.g., upgrading a server with a larger hard
drive or a faster CPU). On Amazon EC2,this can easily be achieved by stopping an
instance and resizing it to an instance type that has more RAM, CPU, IO,or
networking capabilities. This way of scaling can eventually hit a limit and it is not
always a cost efficient or highly available approach. However, it is very easy to
implement and can be sufficient for many use cases especially in the short term.//
Scaling Horizontally: Scaling horizontally takes place through an increase in the
number of resources (e.g., adding more hard drives to a storage array or adding
more servers to support an application). This is a great way to build Internet-scale
applications that leverage the elasticity of cloud computing.

A. Configure a CloudWatch alarm with an alarm threshold set to trigger when CPU
utilization is greater than 30%.
B. Configure a CloudWatch alarm with an alarm threshold set to trigger when CPU
utilization is greater than 70%. check_circle
 C. Configure a CloudWatch alarm with an alarm threshold set to trigger when CPU
utilization is smaller than 70%.
D. Configure a CloudWatch alarm with an alarm threshold set to trigger when CPU
utilization is equal to 70%.

Answer Description
Explanation

The answer is to configure a CloudWatch alarm with an alarm threshold set to trigger when
CPU utilization is greater than 70%. This will display the alarm in "alarm" state when CPU
utilization is greater than 70%. This question has been worded very specifically with the
works "goes above 70%". This disqualifies the answer that stated "greater than or equal to
70%".

You are planning to host a large ecommerce application on the AWS Cloud.
One of your major concerns is Internet attacks such as DDos attacks. Which of
the following services can help mitigate this concern? Choose 2 answers
A. CloudFront check_circle
B. AWS Shield check_circle
C. AWS EC2
D. AWS Config

Answer Description
Explanation

One of the first techniques to mitigate DDoS attacks is to minimize the surface area
that can be attacked thereby limiting the options for attackers and allowing you to
build protections in a single place. We want to ensure that we do not expose our
application or resources to ports, protocols or applications from where they do not
expect any communication. Thus, minimizing the possible points of attack and letting
us concentrate our mitigation efforts. In some cases, you can do this by placing your
computation resources behind Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) or Load
Balancers and restricting direct Internet traffic to certain parts of your infrastructure
like your database servers. In other cases, you can use firewalls or Access Control
Lists (ACLs) to control what traffic reaches your applications.

AWS allows us to “Stop guessing about our capacity needs† and
“Automate to make architectural experimentation easier”. Which of the
following related to the previous principles?
A. AWS General Design Principles. check_circle
B. The Five Pillars of the Well-Architected Framework.
C. AWS General Architecting Principles.
D. AWS General Efficiency Principles.

Answer Description
Explanation

The Well-Architected Framework identifies a set of general design principles to

facilitate good design in the cloud: • Stop guessing your capacity needs: Eliminate
guessing about your infrastructure capacity needs. When you make a capacity
decision before you deploy a system, you might end up sitting on expensive idle
resources or dealing with the performance implications of limited capacity. With
cloud computing, these problems can go away. You can use as much or as little
capacity as you need, and scale up and down automatically. • Test systems at
production scale: In the cloud, you can create a production-scale test environment
on demand, complete your testing, and then decommission the resources. Because
you only pay for the test environment when it's running, you can simulate your live
environment for a fraction of the cost of testing on premises. • Automate to make
architectural experimentation easier: Automation allows you to create and replicate
your systems at low cost and avoid the expense of manual effort. You can track
changes to your automation, audit the impact, and revert to previous parameters
when necessary. • Allow for evolutionary architectures: Allow for evolutionary
architectures. In a traditional environment, architectural decisions are often
implemented as static, one-time events, with a few major versions of a system during
its lifetime. As a business and its context continue to change, these initial decisions
might hinder the system’s ability to deliver changing business requirements. In
the cloud, the capability to automate and test on demand lowers the risk of impact
from design changes. This allows systems to evolve over time so that businesses can
take advantage of innovations as a standard practice. • Drive architectures using
data: In the cloud you can collect data on how your architectural choices affect the
behavior of your workload. This lets you make fact-based decisions on how to
improve your workload. Your cloud infrastructure is code, so you can use that data to
inform your architecture choices and improvements over time. • Improve through
game days: Test how your architecture and processes perform by regularly
scheduling game days to simulate events in production. This will help you
understand where improvements can be made and can help develop organizational
experience in dealing with events.
In order to implement best practices when dealing with "Single Point of
failure” you should aim to build as much automation as possible in both
detecting and reacting to failure. Which of the following AWS services would
help you? (select all that apply)
A. ELB check_circle
B. Amazon Route53 check_circle
C. Auto Scaling check_circle
D. Amazon EC2 auto-recovery check_circle

Answer Description
Explanation

You should aim to build as much automation as possible in both detecting and
reacting to failure. You can use services like ELB and Amazon Route53 to configure
health checks and mask failure by routing traffic to healthy endpoints. In addition,
Auto Scaling can be configured to automatically replace unhealthy nodes .You can
also replace unhealthy nodes using the Amazon EC2 auto-recovery feature or
services such as AWS OpsWorks and AWS Elastic Beanstalk. It won’t be possible
to predict every possible failure scenario on day one. Make sure you collect enough
logs and metrics to understand normal system behavior. After you understand that,
you will be able to set up alarms for manual intervention or automated response.

You have developed a web application targeting a global audience. Which of
the following will help you achieve highest redundancy and fault tolerance?
A. Single Availability zone (AZ) .
B. Multiple AZs in many AWS regions. check_circle
C. Multiple AZs in a Single AWS region.
D. Nothing from the above would help.

Answer Description
Explanation

Since you are targeting a global audience then you have to use many AWS regions
around the world and multiple AZs within it to prevent any impact in case of an AZ or
even a region going down. AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around Regions and
Availability Zones (AZs). A Region is a physical location in the world where we have
multiple AZs. AZs consist of one or more discrete data centers, each with redundant
power, networking, and connectivity, housed in separate facilities. These AZs offer
you the ability to operate production applications and databases that are more
highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than would be possible from a single
data center. Each Amazon Region is designed to be completely isolated from the
other Amazon Regions. This achieves the greatest possible fault tolerance and
stability. Each AZ is isolated, but the AZs in a Region are connected through low-
latency links. AWS provides you with the flexibility to place instances and store data
within multiple geographic Regions as well as across multiple Availability Zones
within each Region. Each Availability Zone is designed as an independent failure
zone. This means that Availability Zones are physically separated within a typical
metropolitan region and are located in lower risk flood plains (specific flood zone
categorization varies by Region). In addition to discrete uninterruptable power
supply (UPS) and onsite backup generation facilities, they are each fed via different
grids from independent utilities to further reduce single points of failure. AZs are all
redundantly connected to multiple tier-1 transit providers. Reference:

he principle “design for failure and nothing will fail” is very important
when designing your AWS cloud architecture. Which of the following would
help in doing so?
A. Availability Zones check_circle
B. Regions check_circle
 C. AWS WAF
D. Elastic Load Balancer check_circle

Answer Description
Explanation

Each AZ is a set of one or more data centers. By deploying your AWS resources to
multiple Availability zones , you are designing with failure with mind. So if one AZ
were to go down , the other AZ’s would still be up and running and hence your
application would be more fault tolerant. For disaster recovery scenarios , one can
move or make resources run in other regions And finally one can use the Elastic Load
Balancer to distribute load to multiple backend instances within a particular region.

A. Create a tightly integrated application
B. Enable data synchronization across the web application layer.
C. Reduce inter-dependencies so failures do not impact other
components check_circle
D. Have the ability to execute automated bootstrapping actions.

Answer Description
Explanation

The entire concept of decoupling components is to ensure that the different

components of an applications can be managed and maintained separately. If all
components are tightly coupled then when one component goes down , the entire
application would do down. Hence it is always a better design practice to decouple
application components.
