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 Business Support plan is the lowest-cost AWS Support Plan that is recommended for production workloads. Developer Support is intended for development, testing, and non-production use, while Enterprise On-Ramp and Enterprise are higher-cost plans for production/business-critical and mission-critical workloads.
Question 233
A company wants to centrally manage its employee's access to multiple AWS accounts.
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
Explanation: AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS Single Sign-On) is designed to centrally manage workforce access across multiple AWS accounts and applications. It provides centralized user management, permission sets, and single sign-on. IAM Access Analyzer analyzes resource access, Secrets Manager stores secrets, and AWS STS issues temporary credentials but is not a central access management service.
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
D. Amazon Connect
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Amazon Connect is AWS's fully managed cloud contact center service. It enables migration from on-premises contact centers and integrates AI capabilities such as conversational IVR, speech analytics, chatbots, agent assistance, and sentiment analysis through AWS AI services. The other options do not provide cloud contact center functionality: AWS Wavelength supports edge applications, IAM Identity Center provides identity and SSO, and Direct Connect provides dedicated network connectivity.
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: Use an IAM user with programmatic access to allow access only through the AWS CLI and SDKs, not the AWS Management Console. Attach a least-privilege IAM policy that grants only the required Amazon RDS permissions instead of administrator access.
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 supports MariaDB as a managed relational database service. It minimizes operational overhead by handling provisioning, patching, backups, monitoring, and automated failover (depending on configuration). Amazon Neptune is a graph database, Amazon S3 is object storage rather than a database engine, and Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL key-value/document database, so they are not appropriate managed hosts for an existing MariaDB database with minimal changes.
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 AWS's fully managed cloud data warehouse service, purpose-built for online analytical processing (OLAP), large-scale analytics, and querying massive datasets. Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora are relational database services optimized for transactional workloads, while DynamoDB is a NoSQL database.
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: Amazon Neptune is AWS's managed graph database service, designed to model and query highly connected data. It supports graph queries for relationships among users, addresses, and transactions, making it well suited for fraud detection use cases. DocumentDB is a document database, Timestream is for time-series data, and DynamoDB is a key-value/document database rather than a graph database.
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 are the most cost-effective option for fault-tolerant or interruptible workloads such as development and test environments where occasional unavailability is acceptable. They offer significant discounts compared to On-Demand pricing but can be interrupted when AWS needs the capacity. Reserved Instances are for predictable long-term usage, On-Demand costs more, and Dedicated Hosts are the most expensive option intended for licensing or compliance needs.
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: The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework Governance perspective includes data curation capabilities, which involve collecting, organizing, accessing, and enriching metadata and organizing an inventory of data products in a data catalog. This is explicitly part of the Governance perspective.
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: AWS Outposts extends AWS infrastructure and services into a customer's on-premises location, enabling low-latency access to local systems while keeping data on premises to satisfy data residency requirements. AWS Wavelength is for low-latency 5G edge applications, Transit Gateway connects networks, and Ground Station is for satellite communications.
