A user has enabled termination protection on an EC2 instance. The user has also set Instance initiated shutdown behavior to terminate. When the user shuts down the instance from the OS, what will happen?
B
It is always possible that someone can terminate an EC2 instance using the Amazon EC2 console, command line interface or API by mistake. If the admin wants to prevent the instance from being accidentally terminated, he can enable termination protection for that instance. The user can also setup shutdown behavior for an EBS backed instance to guide the instance on what should be done when he initiates shutdown from the OS using Instance initiated shutdown behavior. If the instance initiated behavior is set to terminate and the user shuts off the OS even though termination protection is enabled, it will still terminate the instance.
A user has deployed an application on an EBS backed EC2 instance. For a better performance of application, it requires dedicated EC2 to EBS traffic. How can the user achieve this?
D
Any application which has performance sensitive workloads and requires minimal variability with dedicated EC2 to EBS traffic should use provisioned IOPS EBS volumes, which are attached to an EBS-optimized EC2 instance or it should use an instance with 10 Gigabit network connectivity. Launching an instance that is
EBS optimized provides the user with a dedicated connection between the EC2 instance and the EBS volume.
A user has launched a Windows based EC2 instance. However, the instance has some issues and the user wants to check the log. When the user checks the
Instance console output from the AWS console, what will it display?
D
The AWS EC2 console provides a useful tool called Console output for problem diagnosis. It is useful to find out any kernel issues, termination reasons or service configuration issues. For a Windows instance it lists the last three system event log errors. For Linux it displays the exact console output.

In order to optimize performance for a compute cluster that requires low inter-node latency, which feature in the following list should you use?
B
A placement group is a logical grouping of instances within a single Availability Zone. Using placement groups enables applications to participate in a low-latency,
10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) network. Placement groups are recommended for applications that benefit from low network latency, high network throughput, or both. To provide the lowest latency, and the highest packet-per-second network performance for your placement group, choose an instance type that supports enhanced networking.
Amazon EBS snapshots have which of the following two characteristics? (Choose two.)
AB
You have a proprietary data store on-premises that must be backed up daily by dumping the data store contents to a single compressed 50GB file and sending the file to AWS. Your SLAs state that any dump file backed up within the past 7 days can be retrieved within 2 hours. Your compliance department has stated that all data must be held indefinitely. The time required to restore the data store from a backup is approximately 1 hour. Your on-premise network connection is capable of sustaining 1gbps to AWS.
Which backup methods to AWS would be most cost-effective while still meeting all of your requirements?
C
Because in the stored volume mode, you are storing data locally, the binary-compressed format is already available, and the bandwidth of your AWS connection meets the 7days/2hour SLA.
