Amazon AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 Practice Test 35
Question 340
A learner is explaining AWS Backup to colleagues facing this situation: a company needs centralized policies and visibility across supported AWS resource backups. Which explanation is MOST accurate?
- S3 stores data as objects in buckets; it is not an attachable EC2 block device or shared POSIX file system.
- S3 Standard-IA has lower storage charges but access and minimum-duration considerations compared with frequently accessed classes.
- EFS is a managed elastic network file system for supported Linux workloads, unlike S3 object API storage.
- AWS Backup centralizes backup administration across supported resources; it is separate from normal object lifecycle transitions.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:AWS Backup centralizes backup administration across supported resources; it is separate from normal object lifecycle transitions. The explanation directly connects AWS Backup to use AWS Backup to manage backup plans and retention for supported services for the stated requirement.
Incorrect Answers
A:This statement is true of Amazon S3 object storage, which addresses a business stores images and documents as objects accessed using service APIs. It does not explain the particular role of AWS Backup; AWS Backup centralizes backup administration across supported resources; it is separate from normal object lifecycle transitions.
B:This statement is true of S3 Standard-Infrequent Access, which addresses a business rarely accesses certain long-lived backup files but needs them rapidly when requested. It does not explain the particular role of AWS Backup; AWS Backup centralizes backup administration across supported resources; it is separate from normal object lifecycle transitions.
C:This statement is true of Amazon EFS shared files, which addresses multiple Linux EC2 instances require a shared elastic file system supporting common file semantics. It does not explain the particular role of AWS Backup; AWS Backup centralizes backup administration across supported resources; it is separate from normal object lifecycle transitions.
Question 341
Within the Cloud Concepts domain, which business example MOST clearly illustrates Relocating a workload, rather than a different AWS concept?
- A company can move a supported virtualized environment to AWS while maintaining its familiar virtualization stack
- An enterprise needs to lift and shift many supported physical or virtual servers to AWS
- A business is willing to redesign a tightly coupled application into cloud-native components
- An organization must transfer a very large volume of data from a remote site with insufficient network bandwidth
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The decisive requirement is: Move compatible virtual machines or virtualized infrastructure with minimal change. This is the role of Relocating a workload. Relocating retains much of the underlying virtualization model while shifting where it runs.
Incorrect Answers
B:This describes a scenario for AWS Application Migration Service: replicate and migrate server workloads with minimal application changes. AWS Application Migration Service supports continuous replication and cutover for eligible servers. It is not the most direct example of Relocating a workload.
C:This describes a scenario for Refactoring migration: make significant application changes to use cloud-native capabilities. Refactoring transforms the application architecture, rather than simply moving the existing runtime to the cloud. It is not the most direct example of Relocating a workload.
D:This describes a scenario for AWS Snow Family: use physical AWS data transfer devices where online transfer is impractical. AWS Snow devices support moving large datasets when transferring everything over a network is slow or constrained. It is not the most direct example of Relocating a workload.
Question 342
A stakeholder is considering Customer data classification because a regulated company must identify which of its uploaded records contain sensitive personal information. What is the MOST relevant capability or benefit?
- AWS secures the physical facilities that host its cloud infrastructure
- The customer classifies its own data and defines appropriate access requirements
- AWS operates and maintains the managed S3 storage infrastructure
- The customer is responsible for the function code and its business logic
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The customer classifies its own data and defines appropriate access requirements. AWS cannot determine the business sensitivity of customer content; data classification and applicable handling policies belong to the customer. The stated need is specifically a regulated company must identify which of its uploaded records contain sensitive personal information.
Incorrect Answers
A:This outcome fits AWS physical data center security: Physical facility access controls and provider-owned hardware protection fall under AWS security of the cloud. The stakeholder requires the more specific capability provided by Customer data classification, not that separate benefit.
C:This outcome fits AWS S3 infrastructure durability: AWS handles service infrastructure, while customers still control object permissions, classifications and retention requirements. The stakeholder requires the more specific capability provided by Customer data classification, not that separate benefit.
D:This outcome fits Customer Lambda function code: Serverless eliminates server administration for the customer, not their responsibility for their own application code and data handling. The stakeholder requires the more specific capability provided by Customer data classification, not that separate benefit.
Question 343
Which AWS service or cloud principle is the BEST fit for this outcome or responsibility: protect information and systems using risk-aware controls?
- Cost Optimization pillar
- Test recovery assumptions
- Security pillar
- Automated operational response
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Security pillar directly addresses this outcome. The Security pillar addresses identity, detection, infrastructure and data protection in the AWS Well-Architected Framework. A common relevant example is: a business wants to protect data, identities, and systems while maintaining risk controls.
Incorrect Answers
A:Cost Optimization pillar instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a department wants to eliminate idle spending and understand the cost of delivering business value. Cost Optimization includes understanding expenditure, selecting cost-effective resources, and managing demand and supply. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: protect information and systems using risk-aware controls.
B:Test recovery assumptions instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a service owner has a written recovery plan but does not know whether it would work in practice. Regular recovery testing reveals gaps in backup, dependency, and restoration plans before a real disruption. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: protect information and systems using risk-aware controls.
D:Automated operational response instead focuses on a different requirement, such as operators repeatedly perform the same low-risk response to predictable workload events. Automating repeatable operations reduces manual error and supports dependable responses while human review remains appropriate for sensitive changes. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: protect information and systems using risk-aware controls.
Question 344
A business wants to compare the support response options included with different AWS support tiers. Which AWS service or cloud concept is the MOST direct match for this need?
- AWS Trusted Advisor
- AWS Support Center
- AWS Partner Network
- AWS Support plans
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:AWS Support plans fits the need because support benefits and service-level commitments depend on the chosen plan and current AWS support terms. The relevant capability or responsibility is: Review current AWS Support plans for eligible response and contact options.
Incorrect Answers
A:AWS Trusted Advisor is associated with a different use case: an operations team wants recommendations for AWS best practices in areas such as costs and security. Trusted Advisor provides advisory findings in supported categories; available checks and features depend on account arrangements. The question instead focuses on a business wants to compare the support response options included with different AWS support tiers; AWS Support plans is the more direct match.
B:AWS Support Center is associated with a different use case: a company needs to open and manage a support case through its applicable AWS plan. Support Center is the AWS interface for support cases and related help according to the account's plan. The question instead focuses on a business wants to compare the support response options included with different AWS support tiers; AWS Support plans is the more direct match.
C:AWS Partner Network is associated with a different use case: a company needs help finding qualified AWS consulting or software partners. APN connects customers with AWS partners, such as system integrators and independent software vendors. The question instead focuses on a business wants to compare the support response options included with different AWS support tiers; AWS Support plans is the more direct match.
Question 345
A project manager compares Savings Plans with other AWS concepts while considering this need: a business expects steady eligible compute spending and can commit to a consistent hourly amount. Which pairing assigns the responsibilities or benefits correctly?
- Savings Plans: reduce eligible compute costs with a usage commitment; EC2 Spot Instances: meet this requirement: a research team runs flexible batch processing jobs that can tolerate interruption
- Savings Plans: account for service- and route-dependent data transfer pricing; AWS data transfer charges: reduce eligible compute costs with a usage commitment
- Savings Plans: meet this requirement: an organization needs a physical host dedicated to its account for certain licensing or compliance needs; Dedicated Hosts: reduce eligible compute costs with a usage commitment
- Savings Plans: meet this requirement: a research team runs flexible batch processing jobs that can tolerate interruption; EC2 Spot Instances: reduce eligible compute costs with a usage commitment
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The first pairing identifies Savings Plans with its actual role: use Savings Plans to reduce eligible compute costs with a usage commitment. Savings Plans provide discounts for covered usage in exchange for a one- or three-year commitment to an hourly spend amount. The comparison is valid because Spot Instances instead addresses use spare EC2 capacity at a discount with interruption risk.
Incorrect Answers
B:The roles are swapped. AWS data transfer charges is associated with account for service- and route-dependent data transfer pricing; Savings Plans instead has the role: Use Savings Plans to reduce eligible compute costs with a usage commitment. Savings Plans provide discounts for covered usage in exchange for a one- or three-year commitment to an hourly spend amount.
C:The roles are swapped. Dedicated Hosts is associated with use Dedicated Hosts when eligible licensing requires host visibility and control; Savings Plans instead has the role: Use Savings Plans to reduce eligible compute costs with a usage commitment. Savings Plans provide discounts for covered usage in exchange for a one- or three-year commitment to an hourly spend amount.
D:The roles are swapped. EC2 Spot Instances is associated with use spare EC2 capacity at a discount with interruption risk; Savings Plans instead has the role: Use Savings Plans to reduce eligible compute costs with a usage commitment. Savings Plans provide discounts for covered usage in exchange for a one- or three-year commitment to an hourly spend amount.
Question 346
A learner is explaining Idle resource spending to colleagues facing this situation: an internal testing account leaves unused compute instances running every weekend. Which explanation is MOST accurate?
- Rightsizing replaces persistently oversized resources with suitable capacities to improve cost efficiency.
- Idle provisioned resources may continue to generate charges; matching uptime to need reduces wasted spending.
- Variable cloud charges generally align with operating expense rather than a customer buying provider hardware.
- BYOL may reduce duplicate license purchases when specific licensing rules and deployment requirements are satisfied.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Idle provisioned resources may continue to generate charges; matching uptime to need reduces wasted spending. The explanation directly connects Idle resource spending to avoid paying for unnecessary always-on capacity by managing idle resources for the stated requirement.
Incorrect Answers
A:This statement is true of Rightsizing, which addresses a monthly review finds development servers consume little of their allocated CPU and memory. It does not explain the particular role of Idle resource spending; Idle provisioned resources may continue to generate charges; matching uptime to need reduces wasted spending.
C:This statement is true of Operating expenditure, which addresses a business pays recurring usage charges for AWS resources it uses this month. It does not explain the particular role of Idle resource spending; Idle provisioned resources may continue to generate charges; matching uptime to need reduces wasted spending.
D:This statement is true of Bring Your Own License, which addresses a company has eligible existing software licenses that might be usable on a cloud host. It does not explain the particular role of Idle resource spending; Idle provisioned resources may continue to generate charges; matching uptime to need reduces wasted spending.
Question 347
A learner is explaining S3 Intelligent-Tiering to colleagues facing this situation: an organization cannot accurately predict which stored objects will be accessed often next month. Which explanation is MOST accurate?
- S3 Standard is a general-purpose storage class suitable for frequently accessed objects requiring high availability.
- S3 stores data as objects in buckets; it is not an attachable EC2 block device or shared POSIX file system.
- Intelligent-Tiering moves eligible objects among access tiers based on usage, with monitoring and other class terms.
- AWS Backup centralizes backup administration across supported resources; it is separate from normal object lifecycle transitions.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Intelligent-Tiering moves eligible objects among access tiers based on usage, with monitoring and other class terms. The explanation directly connects S3 Intelligent-Tiering to use S3 Intelligent-Tiering to optimize eligible data with changing access patterns for the stated requirement.
Incorrect Answers
A:This statement is true of S3 Standard storage, which addresses an application frequently reads newly uploaded customer content with unpredictable access. It does not explain the particular role of S3 Intelligent-Tiering; Intelligent-Tiering moves eligible objects among access tiers based on usage, with monitoring and other class terms.
B:This statement is true of Amazon S3 object storage, which addresses a business stores images and documents as objects accessed using service APIs. It does not explain the particular role of S3 Intelligent-Tiering; Intelligent-Tiering moves eligible objects among access tiers based on usage, with monitoring and other class terms.
D:This statement is true of AWS Backup, which addresses a company needs centralized policies and visibility across supported AWS resource backups. It does not explain the particular role of S3 Intelligent-Tiering; Intelligent-Tiering moves eligible objects among access tiers based on usage, with monitoring and other class terms.
Question 348
A learner is explaining AWS EC2 host infrastructure to colleagues facing this situation: a company uses EC2 but asks who maintains the hardware supporting its virtual machines. Which explanation is MOST accurate?
- AWS operates the S3 storage infrastructure, but customers configure authorized access to their buckets and objects.
- AWS cannot determine the business sensitivity of customer content; data classification and applicable handling policies belong to the customer.
- For EC2 the customer manages the guest OS, applications and their configuration while AWS manages underlying physical hosts.
- AWS is responsible for facilities, physical servers and underlying cloud infrastructure for EC2.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:AWS is responsible for facilities, physical servers and underlying cloud infrastructure for EC2. The explanation directly connects AWS EC2 host infrastructure to aWS maintains the physical host and underlying cloud virtualization infrastructure for the stated requirement.
Incorrect Answers
A:This statement is true of Customer S3 bucket access, which addresses a team accidentally publishes an S3 bucket containing internal reports. It does not explain the particular role of AWS EC2 host infrastructure; AWS is responsible for facilities, physical servers and underlying cloud infrastructure for EC2.
B:This statement is true of Customer data classification, which addresses a regulated company must identify which of its uploaded records contain sensitive personal information. It does not explain the particular role of AWS EC2 host infrastructure; AWS is responsible for facilities, physical servers and underlying cloud infrastructure for EC2.
C:This statement is true of Customer EC2 guest operating system, which addresses a business runs its own Linux installation on an Amazon EC2 virtual machine. It does not explain the particular role of AWS EC2 host infrastructure; AWS is responsible for facilities, physical servers and underlying cloud infrastructure for EC2.
Question 349
A stakeholder is considering S3 Glacier Deep Archive because a regulator requires long-term retention of records that will almost never be retrieved. What is the MOST relevant capability or benefit?
- Support very rarely accessed long-term archival data
- Support persistent EC2 block storage
- Support frequently accessed object data
- Support eligible ephemeral EC2 local storage
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Use S3 Glacier Deep Archive for very rarely accessed long-term archival data. Deep Archive prioritizes low storage cost and accepts retrieval delays, unlike immediately accessed S3 classes. The stated need is specifically a regulator requires long-term retention of records that will almost never be retrieved.
Incorrect Answers
B:This outcome fits Amazon EBS block volumes: EBS provides network-attached block volumes with persistence and snapshot capabilities subject to volume type and configuration. The stakeholder requires the more specific capability provided by S3 Glacier Deep Archive, not that separate benefit.
C:This outcome fits S3 Standard storage: S3 Standard is a general-purpose storage class suitable for frequently accessed objects requiring high availability. The stakeholder requires the more specific capability provided by S3 Glacier Deep Archive, not that separate benefit.
D:This outcome fits EC2 instance store: Instance store provides temporary local storage whose data does not have the durability properties of an EBS volume. The stakeholder requires the more specific capability provided by S3 Glacier Deep Archive, not that separate benefit.
