templates, which can then be used to deploy the resources to the Amazon web services
accounts for the various costumer. Which of the following service can help fulfill this requirement?

You are working for an organization act as an architect. An application is going to
be installed on a set of EC2 instances in a VPC. You need to guarantee that IT
administrators can securely administer the instances in the VPC.
How can you accomplish this?

For big data analysis, the data is expected to be 400 TB. The analysts are planning to use 150 EC2 instances with EFS to achieve better performance for the analysis. You are asked recommend performance mode. What will be your suggestion?

Using API gateway, you created a REST API and deployed it on production. You are requested to provide the details of accesses to the API for auditing purpose. How would you get the required information?

Your organization needs to expose some services to its customer. Using the AWS API gateway, you created and deployed REST API for your organization over public internet. After that, you noticed that requests are coming from hosts other than your customer. How will you control access?

You created a REST API using API gateway for your organization and exposed it over  the internet. Now you are noticing a consistent high number of requests on GET/users method, 5000 out of 9000 are sent in the 1st millisecond approximately. This is causing overload on the backend systems. You changed the stage’s number of requests per second to 6000 and burst to 3000 requests. Now, the total number of per second sent requests is reduced to 6000. But still, 5000 requests are being sent at the 1st millisecond. What is the reason of this behavior?

Using the API gateway, you have built a REST API and distributed to your customers. Still, your API is getting huge amount of requests that is causing performance bottleneck. Eventually, it is causing failures in serving your customers. How can the API performance be improved? (Choose 2)

Choose multiple from the following, the valid integration sources for API gateway?

The XYZ company, has an on premise network where they have some 100s of APIs exposed to the internet. They are integrated with AWS through DirectConnect. Now, they come to know the resilience and reduced cost of AWS API Gateway. You are asked to provide them with a cost effective way to make these REST APIs available through AWS API Gateway. What will be your solution for them?

Access control mechanisms for API Gateway; choose 2 from the following

Which of the following is not an action when enabling API caching for API gateway through console?

To protect the backend systems, which of the following security measure is provided as default by the AWS in API Gateway?

Choose the correct statement for the given situation. You are receiving 8000 requests in one millisecond for your REST API. You created this API using AWS API Gateway with default throttle settings of 10000 requests per second with a burst of 5000 requests, and it is public facing.

The ABC company is planning to use ECS for docker applications, and also, they want to use third party monitoring tools for ECS instances. You are asked for recommendation, what would be your answer?

The ABC company is planning to use ECS for docker applications, and also, they want to use third party monitoring tools for ECS instances. You are asked for recommendation, what would be your answer?

Choose 2 answers for this; you have launched an ECS cluster with 5 EC2 instances. Tasks are defined for this setup. But still, ECS is not receiving any status information from the container agent in each ECS instance. What could be the reason?

For your ECS instance, you want to set ECS container agent configuration during ECS instance launch. How can this be done?

An organization, that actively uses AWS has noticed that some ECS clusters are running and they do not know by whom and when these clusters were created. You are asked find out the logs for this, how will you do this?

What parameters can be defined in service definition? (Choose 3)

What parameters can be defined in task definition? (Choose 3)

The valid launch type compatible with task definition based on where you want to launch your task. Choose from the following

Choose the statement that defines task definition

Choose 3 features of AWS ECS

Choose the correct statement in relation to ECS instances when accessing ECS service endpoint:

Choose 2 event source from the following that are not supported by Lambda

Choose 2 options that are the responsibility of customer in AWS Lambda service

Which of the following is not a potential use case for using AWS Lambda?

You configured Lambda function with SQS as event source. What is the maximum batch size that SQS supports for ReceiveMessage call?

Choose 3 CloudFront events that can trigger Lambda@edge function

Choose 3 poll based event sources for AWS Lambda function

Choose 3 ARNs for Lambda function

Choose the valid Lambda configuration from the following

Choose 2 AWS services where Lambda dead-letter queue pushes unprocessed events

Choose 3 actions that are required by Lambda execution role to write the logs into AWS CloudWatch

For Lambda function, which one is not a CloudWatch metric?

For default retry behavior of AWS Lambda, which of the following is not true?

Your organization wants you to create a Lambda function in production mode and for auditing compliance, it is required that the production grade cost must not be modified when it is in execution. The modification first must go through a change process. To do so, you are going to publish version for PROD, you created an alias, you will use this alias ARN to invoke the Lambda function. After all this, you are now told that the code should not run if the version is $LATEST. Choose 2 options to achieve the desired goal

To receive messages from an SQS queue and process the message body, you have setup SQS event trigger as Lambda function. After processing the message body, the function will insert one record in MySQL RDS instance. To connect the RDS instance, you need MySQL details such as homepage, username and password. How will you configure them?

You are required to create a Lambda function inside a VPC to communicate with RDS instance which is also inside the same VPC. You allocated 1 GB memory for the Lambda function. The expected number of concurrent requests during peak is 100. To run this Lambda function successfully, what should be the subnet range you should choose?

For development and testing, an organization has two different accounts as Dev and Test. They have a number of applications running on the Test account that require to trigger Lambda on Dev account. You are required to set a permission model to get this configuration working. What will you do?

Your team has many applications running on EC2 instances that need a common backend processing job. You created and published PROD version of the lambda function as version 1 to make sure that, if anyone changes the function, the change will not impact the PROD execution code. Assuming that, the requests would be sent to specific version, you shared the version qualified ARN to all the applications. After all this, because of frequent changes in requirements, you had to change the lambda code many times and keep publishing versions. This is a lot of overhead at the application level to update the Lambda function ARN each time you publish a new version. How can you overcome this situation?

To process the files that are uploaded to S3, you created a lambda function that started receiving requests and was working properly. Now, you have changed the code and updated the lambda function. What will happen to the requests now?

An organization has AWS setup with DirectConnect. They have shifted many on premise backend applications to EC2 instances that have processes running based on triggers from other applications. These processes are developed using Java. Now they want you to migrate these processes to lambda to reduce the cost incurred on EC2 instances. What will you do?

To perform daily health checks on your applications that are running on a fleet of 20 EC2 instances, you have planned to schedule a daily job with CloudWatch scheduled event with lambda function as trigger. To achieve this, EC2 instance’s name tags has to be provided to identify the right resources. For this scenario, what is the correct way to pass the inputs?
