A company’s DevOps engineer is working in a multi-account environment. The company uses AWS Transit Gateway to route all outbound traffic through a network operations account. In the network operations account, all account traffic passes through a firewall appliance for inspection before the traffic goes to an internet gateway.
The firewall appliance sends logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs and includes event severities of CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, and INFO. The security team wants to receive an alert if any CRITICAL events occur.
What should the DevOps engineer do to meet these requirements?
Answer: B
Question 2
A company is building a new pipeline by using AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild in a build account. The pipeline consists of two stages. The first stage is a CodeBuild job to build and package an AWS Lambda function. The second stage consists of deployment actions that operate on two different AWS accounts: a development environment account and a production environment account. The deployment stages use the AWS CloudFormation action that CodePipeline invokes to deploy the infrastructure that the Lambda function requires.
A DevOps engineer creates the CodePipeline pipeline and configures the pipeline to encrypt build artifacts by using the AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) AWS managed key for Amazon S3 (the aws/s3 key). The artifacts are stored in an S3 bucket. When the pipeline runs, the CloudFormation actions fail with an access denied error.
Which combination of actions must the DevOps engineer perform to resolve this error? (Choose two.)
Answer: B,D
Question 3
A company is testing a web application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The instances run in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. The company uses a blue/green deployment process with immutable instances when deploying new software.
During testing, users are being automatically logged out of the application at random times. Testers also report that, when a new version of the application is deployed, all users are logged out. The development team needs a solution to ensure users remain logged in across scaling events and application deployments.
What is the MOST operationally efficient way to ensure users remain logged in?
Answer: D
Question 4
A company deploys its corporate infrastructure on AWS across multiple AWS Regions and Availability Zones. The infrastructure is deployed on Amazon EC2 instances and connects with AWS IoT Greengrass devices. The company deploys additional resources on on-premises servers that are located in the corporate headquarters.
The company wants to reduce the overhead involved in maintaining and updating its resources. The company’s DevOps team plans to use AWS Systems Manager to implement automated management and application of patches. The DevOps team confirms that Systems Manager is available in the Regions that the resources are deployed in. Systems Manager also is available in a Region near the corporate headquarters.
Which combination of steps must the DevOps team take to implement automated patch and configuration management across the company’s EC2 instances, IoT devices, and on-premises infrastructure? (Choose three.)
Answer: A,B,C
Question 5
A SaaS company uses ECS (Fargate) behind an ALB and CodePipeline + CodeDeploy for blue/green
deployments. They need automatic, incremental traffic shifting over time with no downtime.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
