A company requires its developers to tag all Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes in an account to indicate a desired backup frequency. This requirement Includes EBS volumes that do not require backups. The company uses custom tags named Backup_Frequency that have values of none, dally, or weekly that correspond to the desired backup frequency. An audit finds that developers are occasionally not tagging the EBS volumes.
A DevOps engineer needs to ensure that all EBS volumes always have the Backup_Frequency tag so that the company can perform backups at least weekly unless a different value is specified.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company has an AWS Cloud Format ion slack that is deployed in a single AWS account. The company has configured the stack to send event notifications to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.
A DevOps engineer must implement an automated solution that applies a tag to the specific Cloud Formation stack instance only after a successful stack update occurs. The DevOps engineer has created an AWS Lambda function that applies and updates this tag (or the specific slack instance.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company uses AWS Organizations to manage its AWS accounts. The organization root has a child OU that is named Department. The Department OU has a child OU that is named Engineering. The default FullAWSAccess policy is attached to the root, the Department OU. and the Engineering OU.
The company has many AWS accounts in the Engineering OU. Each account has an administrative 1AM role with the AdmmistratorAccess 1AM policy attached. The default FullAWSAccessPolicy is also attached to each account.
A DevOps engineer plans to remove the FullAWSAccess policy from the Department OU The DevOps engineer will replace the policy with a policy that contains an Allow statement for all Amazon EC2 API operations.
What will happen to the permissions of the administrative 1AM roles as a result of this change'?
A company uses Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda functions to implement an API. The company uses a pipeline in AWS CodePipeline to build and deploy the API. The pipeline contains a source stage, build stage, and deployment stage.
The company deploys the API without performing smoke tests. Soon after the deployment, the company observes multiple issues with the API. A security audit finds security vulnerabilities in the production code.
The company wants to prevent these issues from happening in the future.
Which combination of steps will meet this requirement? (Select TWO.)
A company has configured an Amazon S3 event source on an AWS Lambda function The company needs the Lambda function to run when a new object is created or an existing object IS modified In a particular S3 bucket The Lambda function will use the S3 bucket name and the S3 object key of the incoming event to read the contents of the created or modified S3 object The Lambda function will parse the contents and save the parsed contents to an Amazon DynamoDB table.
The Lambda function's execution role has permissions to read from the S3 bucket and to write to the DynamoDB table, During testing, a DevOps engineer discovers that the Lambda
function does not run when objects are added to the S3 bucket or when existing objects are modified.
Which solution will resolve this problem?
A company is migrating its web application to AWS. The application uses WebSocket connections for real-time updates and requires sticky sessions.
A DevOps engineer must implement a highly available architecture for the application. The application must be accessible to users worldwide with the least possible latency.

A company is storing 100 GB of log data in csv format in an Amazon S3 bucket SQL developers want to query this data and generate graphs to visualize it. The SQL developers also need an efficient automated way to store metadata from the csv file.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of effort? (Select THREE.)
A production account has a requirement that any Amazon EC2 instance that has been logged in to manually must be terminated within 24 hours. All applications in the production account are using Auto Scaling groups with the Amazon CloudWatch Logs agent configured.
How can this process be automated?
A company has deployed a new platform that runs on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). The new platform hosts web applications that users frequently update. The application developers build the Docker images for the applications and deploy the Docker images manually to the platform.
The platform usage has increased to more than 500 users every day. Frequent updates, building the updated Docker images for the applications, and deploying the Docker images on the platform manually have all become difficult to manage.
The company needs to receive an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification if Docker image scanning returns any HIGH or CRITICAL findings for operating system or programming language package vulnerabilities.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A company uses AWS Secrets Manager to store a set of sensitive API keys that an AWS Lambda function uses. When the Lambda function is invoked, the Lambda function retrieves the API keys and makes an API call to an external service. The Secrets Manager secret is encrypted with the default AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key.
A DevOps engineer needs to update the infrastructure to ensure that only the Lambda function's execution role can access the values in Secrets Manager. The solution must apply the principle of least privilege.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A company needs to increase the security of the container images that run in its production environment. The company wants to integrate operating system scanning and programming language package vulnerability scanning for the containers in its CI/CD pipeline. The CI/CD pipeline is an AWS CodePipeline pipeline that includes an AWS CodeBuild project, AWS CodeDeploy actions, and an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) repository.
A DevOps engineer needs to add an image scan to the CI/CD pipeline. The CI/CD pipeline must deploy only images without CRITICAL and HIGH findings into production.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A company is launching an application. The application must use only approved AWS services. The account that runs the application was created less than 1 year ago and is assigned to an AWS Organizations OU.
The company needs to create a new Organizations account structure. The account structure must have an appropriate SCP that supports the use of only services that are currently active in the AWS account.
The company will use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Access Analyzer in the solution.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company has an AWS CodePipeline pipeline that is configured with an Amazon S3 bucket in the eu-west-1 Region. The pipeline deploys an AWS Lambda application to the same Region. The pipeline consists of an AWS CodeBuild project build action and an AWS CloudFormation deploy action.
The CodeBuild project uses the aws cloudformation package AWS CLI command to build an artifact that contains the Lambda function code’s .zip file and the CloudFormation template. The CloudFormation deploy action references the CloudFormation template from the output artifact of the CodeBuild project’s build action.
The company wants to also deploy the Lambda application to the us-east-1 Region by using the pipeline in eu-west-1. A DevOps engineer has already updated the CodeBuild project to use the aws cloudformation package command to produce an additional output artifact for us-east-1.
Which combination of additional steps should the DevOps engineer take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
A company is migrating from its on-premises data center to AWS. The company currently uses a custom on-premises CI/CD pipeline solution to build and package software.
The company wants its software packages and dependent public repositories to be available in AWS CodeArtifact to facilitate the creation of application-specific pipelines.
Which combination of steps should the company take to update the CI/CD pipeline solution and to configure CodeArtifact with the LEAST operational overhead? (Select TWO.)
A company is using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) to develop a microservices-based application. The company needs to create reusable infrastructure components for three environments: development, staging, and production. The components must include networking resources, database resources, and serverless compute resources.
The company must implement a solution that provides consistent infrastructure across environments while offering the option for environment-specific customizations. The solution also must minimize code duplication.

Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company's application uses a fleet of Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances to analyze and process data. The EC2 instances are in an Auto Scaling group. The Auto Scaling group is a target group for an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application analyzes critical data that cannot tolerate interruption. The application also analyzes noncritical data that can withstand interruption.
The critical data analysis requires quick scalability in response to real-time application demand. The noncritical data analysis involves memory consumption. A DevOps engineer must implement a solution that reduces scale-out latency for the critical data. The solution also must process the noncritical data.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A company has an application that includes AWS Lambda functions. The Lambda functions run Python code that is stored in an AWS CodeCommit repository. The company has recently experienced failures in the production environment because of an error in the Python code. An engineer has written unit tests for the Lambda functions to help avoid releasing any future defects into the production environment.
The company's DevOps team needs to implement a solution to integrate the unit tests into an existing AWS CodePipeline pipeline. The solution must produce reports about the unit tests for the company to view.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company is hosting a web application in an AWS Region. For disaster recovery purposes, a second region is being used as a standby. Disaster recovery requirements state that session data must be replicated between regions in near-real time and 1% of requests should route to the secondary region to continuously verify system functionality. Additionally, if there is a disruption in service in the main region, traffic should be automatically routed to the secondary region, and the secondary region must be able to scale up to handle all traffic.
