1.Fill in the blanks: Resources that are created in AWS are identified by a unique identifier called an __________
A.Amazon Resource Number
B.Amazon Resource Nametag
C.Amazon Resource Name
D.Amazon Resource Namespace
Answer:C
Amazon Resource Name (ARN)
Explanation:
-
An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is a unique identifier assigned to AWS resources.
-
ARNs are used to specify resources in IAM policies, API calls, and AWS services.
2.Disabling automated backups ______ disable the point-in-time recovery.
A.if configured to can
B.will never
C.wilL
Answer:C
will
Explanation:
- Disabling automated backups will disable point-in-time recovery (PITR) because PITR relies on automated backups and transaction logs.
- When automated backups are turned off, RDS stops storing transaction logs, making it impossible to restore the database to a specific point in time.
- Manual snapshots are still available but do not support PITR.
3.IAM provides several policy templates you can use to automatically assign permissions to the groups you create. The _____ policy template gives the Admins group permission to access all account resources, except your AWS account information
A.Read Only Access
B.Power User Access
C.AWS Cloud Formation Read Only Access
D.Administrator Access
Answer:B
Power User Access
Explanation:
- The Power User Access policy template allows users to access all AWS services and resources except for account management functions (e.g., IAM users, groups, and roles).
- Unlike Administrator Access, Power Users cannot manage IAM resources but can fully operate AWS services.
- This is useful for developers and engineers who need full access to AWS services but shouldn’t modify security settings.
4.What does Amazon S3 stand for?
A.Simple Storage Solution.
B.Storage Storage Storage (triple redundancy Storage).
C.Storage Server Solution.
D.Simple Storage Service.
Answer:D
Simple Storage Service.
Explanation:
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is AWS’s scalable object storage service designed for storing and retrieving large amounts of data.
- It provides high durability (99.999999999% – “11 nines”) and redundancy across multiple Availability Zones.
- S3 is used for backup, archival, data lakes, static website hosting, and more.
5.When should I choose Provisioned IOPS over Standard RDS storage?
A.If you have batch-oriented workloads
B.If you use production online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads.
C.If you have workloads that are not sensitive to consistent performance
Answer:B
If you use production online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads.
Explanation:
- Provisioned IOPS (PIOPS) is designed for high-performance, low-latency workloads that require consistent and predictable I/O.
- It is ideal for production OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) databases that handle frequent read/write operations.
- PIOPS provides dedicated IOPS capacity, unlike standard storage, which has variable performance.
