A company runs its production workload in the AWS Cloud. The company needs to choose one of the AWS Support Plans.
Which of the AWS Support Plans will meet these requirements at the LOWEST cost?
A. Developer
B. Enterprise On-Ramp
C. Enterprise
D. Business
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The workload is a production workload. AWS guidance and exam expectations state that the minimum recommended support plan for production workloads is the Business Support plan. Although Developer Support is cheaper, it is intended for development and testing, not production. Therefore, Business Support meets the requirement at the lowest acceptable cost.

Which AWS service or feature should the company use to meet this requirement?
A. AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer
B. AWS Secrets Manager
C. AWS IAM Identity Center
D. AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS)
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

It integrates with AWS Organizations and external identity providers, making it the correct service for centralized employee access management.
Question 234
A company runs an on-premises contact center for customers. The company needs to migrate to a cloud-based solution that can deliver artificial intelligence features to improve user experience.
Which AWS service will meet these requirements?
A. AWS Wavelength
B. AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On)
C. AWS Direct Connect

Question 235
A company wants to provide one of its employees with access to Amazon RDS. The company also wants to limit the interaction to only the AWS CLI and AWS software development kits (SDKs).
Which combination of actions should the company take to meet these requirements while following the principles of least privilege? (Choose two.)
A. Create an IAM user and provide AWS Management Console access only.
B. Create an IAM user and provide programmatic access only.
C. Create an IAM role and provide AWS Management Console access only.
D. Create an IAM policy with administrator access and attach it to the IAM user.
E. Create an IAM policy with Amazon RDS access and attach it to the IAM user.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B, E
Explanation: To restrict access to AWS CLI and SDKs only, the employee must have programmatic access without Management Console access, which is achieved by creating an IAM user with programmatic access only (B). To follow the principle of least privilege, the user should be granted only the permissions required to work with Amazon RDS, which is done by attaching an IAM policy that allows Amazon RDS actions rather than full administrative access (E).
Question 236
A company has a MariaDB database on premises. The company wants to move the data to the AWS Cloud.
Which AWS service will host this database with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
A. Amazon RDS
B. Amazon Neptune
C. Amazon S3
D. Amazon DynamoDB
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Amazon RDS is a fully managed relational database service that natively supports MariaDB. It minimizes operational overhead by handling routine tasks such as provisioning, patching, backups, monitoring, and failover. The other options are not suitable: Amazon Neptune is a graph database, Amazon S3 is object storage, and Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL key-value database.
Question 237
Which AWS service is designed to help users handle large amounts of data in a data warehouse environment?
A. Amazon RDS
B. Amazon DynamoDB
C. Amazon Redshift
D. Amazon Aurora
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse optimized for OLAP analytics and large-scale data processing. The other options are transactional or NoSQL databases rather than data warehouse services.
Question 238
A company wants to run a graph query that provides credit card users’ names, addresses, and transactions. The company wants the graph to show if the names, addresses, and transactions indicates possible fraud.
Which AWS database service will meet these requirements?
A. Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility)
B. Amazon Timestream
C. Amazon DynamoDB
D. Amazon Neptune
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The requirement is to run graph queries that analyze relationships between users, addresses, and transactions to identify possible fraud. Amazon Neptune is a fully managed graph database designed for querying highly connected data and is commonly used for fraud detection use cases. The other options are not graph databases.
Question 239
A company is moving its development and test environments to AWS to increase agility and reduce cost. Because these are not production workloads and the servers are not fully utilized, occasional unavailability is acceptable.
What is the MOST cost-effective Amazon EC2 pricing model that will meet these requirements?
A. Reserved Instances
B. On-Demand Instances
C. Spot Instances
D. Dedicated Hosts
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Spot Instances provide the lowest EC2 pricing and are designed for workloads that can tolerate interruptions. Since development and test environments are non-production, not fully utilized, and can accept occasional unavailability, Spot Instances are the most cost-effective choice. Reserved Instances and Dedicated Hosts are intended for long-term, stable usage, while On-Demand Instances cost more than Spot Instances.
Question 240
Which AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) perspective focuses on organizing an inventory of data products in a data catalog?
A. Operations
B. Governance
C. Business
D. Platform
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: In the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework, organizing an inventory of data products in a data catalog is part of **data curation**, which belongs to the **Governance perspective**. This perspective covers metadata management, data catalogs, data quality, lineage, and policies to enable controlled, discoverable, and trustworthy use of data.
Question 241
A company wants to use AWS. The company has stringent requirements about low-latency access to on-premises systems and data residency.
Which AWS service should the company use to design a solution that meets these requirements?
A. AWS Wavelength
B. AWS Transit Gateway
C. AWS Ground Station
D. AWS Outposts
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The requirements are low-latency access to on-premises systems and strict data residency. AWS Outposts extends AWS infrastructure and services directly into the company’s on-premises data center, allowing workloads to run locally while being managed by AWS. This provides very low latency to local systems and ensures data remains on premises to meet residency requirements. Other options do not place AWS compute and storage on-site: Wavelength is for 5G edge, Transit Gateway is networking, and Ground Station is for satellite communications.
