    B. The on-site storage gateway
    C. The NAT instance in your VPC

  6. What is route propagation with respect to a virtual private gateway?
    A. It copies all routes from an on-site network to an AWS VPC's subnets routing tables.
    B. It helps avoid manually entering VPN routes into your VPC routing tables.
    C. It automatically allows inbound traffic from your on-premises connection.
    D. It enables storage-based traffic from a customer's storage gateway.

  7. What URL provides you with the public and private IP addresses of running EC2 instances?

    C. http://169.254.169,254/instance-data/
    D. http://169.254.169.254/latest/instance-data/

  8. Which of the following is a highly durable key-value store?
    A. S3
    B. EFS
    C. EBS
    D. ElastiCache

  9. Which of the following is a valid Glacier use case?

    D. Storing X-rays used in teaching exercises at the local college

  10. You have been called in to mitigate a disastrous loss of data on S3 at a bioethics company.
    After investigating, it is determined that the data was deleted accidentally by a developer.
    The company wants to ensure that data cannot be accidentally deleted like this in the
    future. What would you suggest? (Choose two.)
    A. Enable S3 versioning on all S3 buckets.
    B. Create an IAM policy that disallows developers from deleting data in S3.
    C. Replace the current access pattern with signed URLs.
    D. Enable MFA Delete on the buckets.

  11. How many instances can you launch in a given AWS region?
    A. 20
    B. 40
    C. 20, but this is a soft limit and can be increased by AWS
    D. 40, but this is a soft limit and can be increased by AWS

  12. You are using a NAT instance inside of a VPC to support routing out to the public Inter-
    net from private instances within that VPC.As traffic has increased, the performance of
    any operations involving the outbound Internet traffic has degraded to unacceptable levels. How would you mitigate this problem?
    A. Add an additional internet gateway so the NAT instance can split outbound traffic
    over two gateways.
    B. Add an additional elastic IP to the NAT instance to increase throughput.
    C. Increase the instance size of the NAT instance by one or more instance size classes.
    D. All of these are valid solutions.

  13. What is the simplest way to reduce frequent scaling in an application? For example, if an
    application is showing that it's scaling up and down multiple times in an hour, how would
    you reduce the number of “ups and downs” you are seeing?
    A. Set up scheduled times with proactive cycling for the scaling so that it is not occur-
    ring all the time.
    B. Increase the cooldown timers so that scaling down requires greater thresholds of
    change in your triggers.
    C. Update Cloud Watch to use a FIFO termination policy, only terminating the oldest
    instances in a scaledown.
    D. None of these will improve the issue.

  14. Which of these steps are required to get a NAT instance working? (Choose two.)
    A. Update the routing table for EC2 instances accessing the public Internet to go
    through the NAT instance.
    B. Locate the NAT instance within the private subnet that it will be serving.
    C. Disable source/destination checks on your instance.
    D. Set the NAT instance to allow port forwarding from the private subnet.

  15. Which of these is not a default Cloud Watch metric?
    A. Disk read operations
    B. Memory usage
    C. CPU usage
    D. Inbound network traffic

  16. You have an existing fleet of EC2 instances in a public subnet of your VPC. You launch
    an additional instance from the same AMI as the existing instances, into the same public
    subnet. What steps might you need to take to ensure that this instance can reach the public Internet? (Choose two.)
    A. Assign an elastic IP address to the instance.
    B. Add the instance to the ELB serving the existing instances.
    C. Add the instance into a private subnet.
    D. Ensure that the instance has a route out to the Internet.

  17. Which of the following is the destination address for the public Internet?
    A. 192.168.1.255/0
    B. 0.0.0.0/16
    C. 169.254.169.254/0
    D. 0.0.0.0/0

  18. Which of the following would you use to route traffic from your subnet to the public Internet?
    A. Destination: 0.0.0.0/0 > Target: your internet gateway
    B. Destination: 0.0.0.0/16 > Target: your internet gateway
    C. Destination: your internet gateway > Target: 0.0.0.0/0
    D. Destination: 0.0.0.0/0 > Target: your virtual private gateway
