A company needs a fully managed file server that natively supports Microsoft workloads and file systems. The file server must also support the SMB protocol.
Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?
A. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
B. Amazon FSx for Lustre
C. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server
D. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is a fully managed Windows file system that natively supports Microsoft workloads, uses the NTFS file system, and provides SMB protocol support. Amazon EFS uses NFS, FSx for Lustre is for high-performance computing workloads, and EBS is block storage rather than a managed file server.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

Question 357
An Amazon EC2 instance previously used for development is inaccessible and no longer appears in the AWS Management Console.
Which AWS service should be used to determine what action made this EC2 instance inaccessible?
A. Amazon CloudWatch Logs
B. AWS Security Hub
C. Amazon Inspector
D. AWS CloudTraiI
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: AWS CloudTrail records API activity and account events, including EC2 instance launches, stops, terminations, and other management actions. If an EC2 instance is inaccessible and no longer appears in the AWS Management Console, CloudTrail can be used to identify what action occurred, who initiated it, and when. CloudWatch Logs collects logs, Security Hub aggregates security findings, and Amazon Inspector assesses vulnerabilities rather than auditing resource management actions.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Amazon EC2 provides virtual servers where the customer is responsible for managing the guest operating system, including installing updates and security patches, under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.

Question 362
A company wants to use the AWS Cloud to deploy an application globally.
Which architecture deployment model should the company use to meet this requirement?
A. Multi-Region
B. Single-Region
C. Multi-AZ
D. Single-AZ
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: A global deployment requires placing application infrastructure in multiple AWS Regions to serve users worldwide with lower latency and improve resilience against regional failures. Multi-AZ only spans Availability Zones within a single Region, while Single-Region and Single-AZ do not provide global deployment.
