Q1. Which AWS hybrid storage service enables a user's on-premises applications to seamlessly use AWS Cloud storage?
Answer: D. AWS Storage Gateway
AWS Storage Gateway is the hybrid storage service connecting on-premises applications to cloud storage. Direct Connect provides a dedicated network link, not storage, so it is the strongest distractor to watch for.
Q2. An eCommerce company plans to use the AWS Cloud to quickly deliver new functionality in an iterative manner, minimizing the time to market. Which feature of the AWS Cloud provides this functionality?
Answer: B. Agility
Agility refers to the cloud's ability to provision resources in minutes, enabling rapid iteration and faster time to market. Elasticity addresses scaling with demand, not the speed of delivering new functionality.
Q3. Which Amazon EC2 tool acts as a virtual firewall to control inbound and outbound traffic to an EC2 instance?
Answer: C. Security group
A security group acts as a virtual firewall at the instance level, controlling inbound and outbound traffic for an EC2 instance. Remember that network ACLs operate at the subnet level, while WAF and Shield protect web applications, not instances.
Q4. Which cloud architecture design principle is supported by deploying workloads across multiple Availability Zones?
Answer: B. Design for failure.
Deploying across multiple Availability Zones embodies the design-for-failure principle, because the workload survives an outage in one zone. Elasticity is the tempting distractor, but that comes from Auto Scaling, not multi-AZ deployment.
Q5. Which AWS service can be used to run Docker containers?
Answer: D. Amazon ECS
Amazon ECS runs and manages Docker containers on a managed cluster. ECR only stores container images, and it does not run them, so it is the strongest distractor here.
Q6. Which AWS dashboard displays relevant and timely information to help users manage events in progress, and provides proactive notifications to help plan for scheduled activities?
Answer: D. AWS Personal Health Dashboard
The AWS Personal Health Dashboard gives alerts and remediation guidance for events affecting your own resources, including proactive notice of scheduled activities. The Service Health Dashboard only shows general regional service status with no personalization.
Q7. Which of the statements below is correct in relation to Consolidated Billing? (Select TWO.)
Answer: A,B. You receive a single bill for multiple accounts || You can combine usage and share volume pricing discounts
Consolidated billing gives one bill for all accounts and combines usage so you share volume discounts and Reserved Instance savings. There are no per-account or per-user fees, which rules out both fee-based options.
Q8. A corporation with multiple departments each having their own AWS accounts wants to implement a solution to customize billing data to match their specific showback or chargeback business logic. They wish to group accounts with similar fina…
Answer: B. AWS Billing Conductor
AWS Billing Conductor lets you create billing groups, apply custom pricing rules, and generate a distinct CUR per group for showback or chargeback. Cost Explorer and Budgets only track and alert on actual spending.
Q9. Which of the following is an advantage for a company running workloads in the AWS Cloud vs on-premises? (Select TWO.)
Answer: B,E. Increased productivity for application development teams. || Less staff time is required to launch new workloads.
The cloud removes heavy infrastructure management, so development teams are more productive and new workloads take less staff time. Watch for reversed distractors like increased time to market or higher acquisition costs.
Q10. A newly founded tech startup is looking for a program that offers AWS credits, training, technical support, and other resources to help them build their business. Which AWS program would be the best fit for them?
Answer: C. AWS Activate for Startups
AWS Activate provides startups with credits, training, and technical support to build on AWS. AWS Educate targets students, and the Partner Network is for established consulting and technology partners.
