An application team is working with a SysOps administrator to define Amazon CloudWatch alarms for an application. The application team does not know the application's expected usage or expected growth.
Which solution should the SysOps administrator recommend?

  1. Create CloudWatch alarms that are based on anomaly detection.

A company runs a stateless application that is hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance. Users are reporting performance issues. A SysOps administrator reviews the
Amazon CloudWatch metrics for the application and notices that the instance's CPU utilization frequently reaches 90% during business hours.
What is the MOST operationally efficient solution that will improve the application's responsiveness?

  1. Configure CloudWatch logging on the EC2 instance. Configure a CloudWatch alarm for CPU utilization to alert the SysOps administrator when CPU utilization goes above 90%.
  2. Configure an AWS Client VPN connection to allow the application users to connect directly to the EC2 instance private IP address to reduce latency.
  3. Create an Auto Scaling group, and assign it to an Application Load Balancer. Configure a target tracking scaling policy that is based on the average CPU utilization of the Auto Scaling group.
  4. Create a CloudWatch alarm that activates when the EC2 instance's CPU utilization goes above 80%. Configure the alarm to invoke an AWS Lambda function that vertically scales the instance.

Answer(s): C



An ecommerce company uses an Amazon ElastiCache for Memcached cluster for in-memory caching of popular product queries on the shopping site. When viewing recent Amazon CloudWatch metrics data for the ElastiCache cluster, the SysOps administrator notices a large number of evictions.

A company runs an application that uses a MySQL database on an Amazon EC2 instance. The EC2 instance has a General Purpose SSD Amazon Elastic Block
Store (Amazon EBS) volume. The company made changes to the application code and now wants to perform load testing to evaluate the impact of the code changes.
A SysOps administrator must create a new MySQL instance from a snapshot of the existing production instance. This new instance needs to perform as similarly as possible to the production instance.
Which restore option meets these requirements?

  1. Use EBS fast snapshot restore to create a new General Purpose SSD EBS volume from the production snapshot.
  2. Use EBS fast snapshot restore to create a new Provisioned IOPS SSD EBS volume from the production snapshot.
  3. Use EBS snapshot restore to create a new General Purpose SSD EBS volume from the production snapshot.
  4. Use EBS snapshot restore to create a new Provisioned IOPS SSD EBS volume from the production snapshot.

Answer(s): A
