Q1. Does AWS CIoudFormation support Amazon EC2 tagging?
A. It depends if the Amazon EC2 tagging has been defined in the template.
B. No, it doesn’t support Amazon EC2 tagging.
C. No, CIoudFormation doesn’t support any tagging
D. Yes, AWS CIoudFormation supports Amazon EC2 tagging
Answer: D
Explanation:
In AWS CIoudFormation, Amazon EC2 resources that support the tagging feature can also be tagged in an AWS template. The tag values can refer to template parameters, other resource names, resource attribute values (e.g. addresses), or values computed by simple functions (e.g., a concatenated list of strings).

Q2. A user is setting up an Elastic Load BaIancer(ELB). Which of the below parameters should the user consider so as the instance gets registered with the ELB?
A. ELB DNS
B. IP address
C. Security group
D. ELB IP
Answer: B
Explanation:
The EC2 instances are registered with the load balancer using the IP addresses associated with the instances. When an instance is stopped and then started, the IP address associated with the instance changes. This prevents the load balancer from routing traffic to the restarted instance. When the user stops and then starts registered EC2 instances, it is recommended that to de-register the stopped instance from load balancer, and then register the restarted instance. Failure to do so may prevent the load balancer from performing health checks and routing the traffic to the restarted instance.
Q3. A user has launched a MySQL RDS. The user wants to plan for the DR and automate the snapshot. Which of the below mentioned functionality offers this option with RDS?
A. Copy snapshot
B. Automated synchronization
C. Snapshot
D. Automated backup
Answer: D
Explanation:
Amazon RDS provides two different methods for backing up and restoring the Amazon DB instances: automated backups and DB snapshots.

Q4. A user has created an EBS instance in the US-East-1a AZ. The user has a volume of 30 GB in the US-East-1 b zone. How can the user attach the volume to an instance?
A. Since both the volume and the instance are in the same region, the user can attach the volume
B. Use the volume migrate function to move the volume from one AZ to another and attach to the instance
C. Take a snapshot of the volume. Create a new volume in the USEast-1a and attach that to the instance
D. Use the volume replicate function to create a new volume in the US-East-1a and attach that to the volume
Answer: C
Explanation:
If an EBS volume is not in the same AZ of an EC2 instance, it cannot be attached to the instance. The only option is to take a snapshot of the volume and create a new volume in the instance’s AZ. Reference: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSSnapshots.htmI
Q5. A user has launched an EC2 instance. However, due to some reason the instance was terminated. If the user wants to find out the reason for termination, where can he find the details?
A. The user can get information from the AWS console, by checking the Instance description under the State transition reason label
B. The user can get information from the AWS console, by checking the Instance description under the Instance Termination reason label
C. The user can get information from the AWS console, by checking the Instance description under the Instance Status Change reason label
D. It is not possible to find the details after the instance is terminated
Answer: A
Explanation:
An EC2 instance, once terminated, may be available in the AWS console for a while after termination. The user can find the details about the termination from the description tab under the label State transition reason. If the instance is still running, there will be no reason listed. If the user has explicitly stopped or terminated the instance, the reason will be "User initiated shutdown".

Q7. A user has created a new raw EBS volume. The user mounts the volume on the instance to which it is attached. Which of the below mentioned options is a required step before the user can mount the volume?
A. Run a cyclic check on the device for data consistency
B. Create a file system of the volume
C. No step is required. The user can directly mount the device
D. Resize the volume as per the original snapshot size
Answer: B
Explanation:
When a user is trying to mount a blank EBS volume, it is required that the user first creates a file system within the volume.

Q9. ExamKiIIer (with AWS account ID 111122223333) has created 50 IAM users for its orgAMzation’s employees. What will be the AWS console URL for these associates?
A. https:// 111122223333.signin.aws.amazon.com/conso|e/
B. https:// signin.aws.amazon.com/consoIe/
C. https://signin.aws.amazon.com/111122223333/conso|e/
D. https://signin.aws.amazon.com/console/111122223333/
Answer: A
Explanation:
When an orgAMzation is using AWS IAM for creating various users and manage their access rights, the IAM user cannot use the login URL http://aws.amazon.com/console to access AWS management console. The console login URL for the IAM user will have AWS account ID of that orgAMzation to identify the IAM user belongs to particular account. The AWS console login URL for the IAM user will be https://
<AWS_Account_|D>.signin.aws.amazon.com/consoIe/. In this case it will be https:// 111122223333.signin.aws.amazon.com/consoIe/
