Answer:C
Private IP address
Explanation:
When an Amazon EC2 instance is launched, it is assigned two IP addresses:
- Public IP Address (or Elastic IP if assigned) – Can be accessed over the internet.
- Private IP Address – Can only be reached from within the Amazon EC2 network (inside the same VPC or AWS region).
The Private IP address is used for internal communication between instances and does not change even if the instance is restarted.
4.Groups can’t _____.
A.be nested more than 3 levels
B.be nested at all
C.be nested more than 4 levels
D.be nested more than 2 levels
Answer:B
be nested at all
Explanation:
In AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), groups cannot be nested. This means:
- An IAM group cannot contain another IAM group.
- You can only assign IAM users to groups, not other groups.
This design keeps IAM policies and permissions straightforward by avoiding complex inheritance structures.
5.Automated backups are enabled by default for a new DB Instance.

- The default retention period is 7 days, but you can modify it to be between 0 and 35 days.

- If you set the retention period to 0 days, automated backups are disabled.
