Question 46 (Topic 1)

A company observes that a newly created Amazon CloudWatch alarm is not transitioning out of the INSUFFICIENT_DATA state. The alarm was created to track the mem_used_percent metric from an Amazon EC2 instance that is deployed in a public subnet. A review of the EC2 instance shows that the unified CloudWatch agent is installed and is running. However, the metric is not available in CloudWatch. A SysOps administrator needs to implement a solution to resolve this problem. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○ Enable CloudWatch detailed monitoring for the EC2 instance
  • ○ Create an IAM instance profile that contains CloudWatch permissions. Add the instance profile to the EC2 instance
  • ○ Migrate the EC2 instance into a private subnet
  • ○ Create an IAM user that has an access key ID and a secret access key. Update the unified CloudWatch agent configuration file to use those credentials
Question 47 (Topic 1)

A company has an application that uses Amazon DynamoDB tables. The tables are spread across AWS accounts and AWS Regions. The company uses AWS CloudFormation to deploy AWS resources. A new team at the company is deleting unused AWS resources. The team accidentally deletes several production DynamoDB tables by running an AWS Lambda function that makes a DynamoDB DeleteTable API call. The table deletions cause an application outage. A SysOps administrator must implement a solution that minimizes the chance of accidental deletions of tables. The solution also must minimize data loss that results from accidental deletions. Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○ Enable termination protection for the CloudFormation stacks that deploy the DynamoDB tables.
  • ○ Enable deletion protection for the DynamoDB tables.
  • ○ Enable point-in-time recovery for the DynamoDB tables. Restore the tables if they are accidentally deleted.
  • ○ Schedule daily backups of the DynamoDB tables. Restore the tables if they are accidentally deleted.
  • ○ Export the DynamoDB tables to Amazon S3 every day. Use Import from Amazon S3 to restore data for tables that are accidentally deleted.
Question 48 (Topic 1)

A company receives an alert from an Amazon CloudWatch alarm. The alarm indicates that a web application that is running on Amazon EC2 instances is not responding to requests. The EC2 instances have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system and are in an Auto Scaling group. The Auto Scaling group has a minimum capacity of 2 and a maximum capacity of 5. An investigation reveals that the web application is experiencing out-of-memory errors. The company adds memory to the web application and wants to track operating system memory utilization. A CloudWatch memory metric does not currently exist for the EC2 instances in the Auto Scaling group. What should a SysOps administrator do to provide a CloudWatch memory metric for the EC2 instances?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○ Use an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that includes the CloudWatch agent.
  • ○ Turn on CloudWatch detailed monitoring.
  • ○ Turn on Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2).
  • ○ Use an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that is based on Amazon Linux.
