AWS CLOUD PRACTITIONER EXAM 1 QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS 2024
What are the benefits of having infrastructure hosted in the AWS Cloud? (Choose
two)
A. All of the physical security and most of the data/network security are taken
care of for you
B. Having complete control over the physical infrastructure
C. Increase speed and agility
D. Competitive upfront costs
E. There is no need to worry about security
A and C
Option A :
** All of the physical security are taken care of for you. Amazon data centers are
surrounded by three physical layers of security. "Nothing can go in or out without setting
off an alarm". It's important to keep bad guys out, but equally important to keep the data
in which is why Amazon monitors incoming gear, tracking every disk that enters the
facility. And "if it breaks we don't return the disk for warranty. The only way a disk leaves
our data center is when it's confetti."
** Most (not all) data and network security are taken care of for you. When we talk about
the data/network security, AWS has a "shared responsibility model" where AWS and the
customer share the responsibility of securing them. For example the customer is
responsible for creating rules to secure his network traffic using the security groups and
is also responsible for protecting data with encryption.
,Option C:
In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only a click away, which
means it requires less time to make those resources available to developers - from
weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in agility for the organization,
since the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower.
Option B is not correct. The Physical infrastructure is a responsibility of AWS and not
the customer. Hence it is not an advantage of moving to the AWS Cloud.
Option D is not correct. In AWS, most of the services are available with no upfront costs
as it follows the pay-as-you-go pricing.
AWS allows you to pay upfront for some services to get more discounts, but you have
the choice to pay upfront or pay as you go. By contrast, traditional IT providers require
you to pay upfront for all of their services.
Option E is not correct. As mentioned above, security is a shared responsibility between
AWS and the customer. For example, the customer has to manage who can access and
use AWS resources using the IAM service.
You want to monitor the CPU utilization of an EC2 resource in AWS. Which of the
below services can help in this regard?
A. AWS Config
B. AWS Inspector
C. AWS Cloudwatch
D. AWS Trusted Advisor
C. AWS Cloudwatch
Amazon CloudWatch is a service that monitors AWS cloud resources and the
applications you run on AWS. You can use Amazon CloudWatch to collect and track
, metrics, collect and monitor log files, set alarms, and automatically react to changes in
your AWS resources. Amazon CloudWatch can monitor AWS resources such as
Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon DynamoDB tables, and Amazon RDS DB instances,
as well as custom metrics generated by your applications and services, and any log files
your applications generate.
Option A is not correct. AWS Config is a service that enables you to assess, audit, and
evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources.
Option B is not correct. Amazon Inspector is an automated security assessment service
that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS.
Option D is not correct. AWS Trusted Advisor is an online tool that provides real time
guidance to help you provision your resources following AWS best practices.
Which of the following is not a part of the Cloud Computing models?
A. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
B. Hardware as a Service (HaaS)
C. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
D. Software as a Service (SaaS
B. Hardware as a Service (Haas)
There are three Cloud Computing Models:
1) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) contains the
basic building blocks for cloud IT and typically provide access to networking features,
computers (virtual or on dedicated hardware), and data storage space. IaaS provides
you with the highest level of flexibility and management control over your IT resources
and is most similar to existing IT resources that many IT departments and developers
are familiar with today.
