A) A. IAM group
B) B. IAM user
C) C. IAM role
D) D. IAM policy



2. Which of the following security-related services does AWS offer? (Choose two.)(Select 2answers)

A) A. Multi-factor authentication physical tokens
B) B. AWS Trusted Advisor security checks
C) C. Data encryption
D) D. Automated penetration testing
E) E. Amazon S3 copyrighted content detection


3. Which AWS managed service is used to host databases?

A) A. AWS Batch
B) B. AWS Artifact
C) C. AWS Data Pipeline
D) D. Amazon RDS



4. Which AWS service provides a simple and scalable shared file storage solution for use with Linux-based AWS and on-premises servers?

A) A. Amazon S3
B) B. Amazon Glacier
C) C. Amazon EBS
D) D. Amazon EFS



5. When architecting cloud applications, which of the following are a key design principle?

A) A. Use the largest instance possible
B) B. Provision capacity for peak load
C) C. Use the Scrum development process
D) D. Implement elasticity



1. Right Answer: B
Explanation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html

2. Right Answer: B,C
Explanation: https://aws.amazon.com/security/

3. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups. It frees you to focus on your applications so you can give them the fast performance, high availability, security and compatibility they need.https://aws.amazon.com/rds/?c=db&sec=srv

4. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides a simple, scalable, fully managed elastic NFS file system for use with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. It is built to scale on demand to petabytes without disrupting applications, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files, eliminating the need to provision and manage capacity to accommodate growth. Amazon EFS is designed to provide the throughput, IOPS, and low latency needed for Linux workloads. Throughput and IOPS scale as a file system grows and can burst to higher throughput levels for short periods of time to support the unpredictable performance needs of file workloads. For the most demanding workloads, Amazon EFS can support performance over 10 GB/sec and up to 500,000 IOPS.

5. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Cloud services main proposition is to provide elasticity through horizontal scaling. It's already there. As for using largest instance possible, it is not a design principle that helps cloud applications in anyway. Scrum development process is not related to architecting. Therefore, a key principle is to provision your application for on-demand capacity. Peak loads is something that cloud applications experience everyday. Peak load management should be a necessary part of cloud application design principle.https://d1.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/AWS_Cloud_Best_Practices.pdf
