Amazon AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 Practice Test 95
Question 940
Which AWS service or cloud principle is the BEST fit for this outcome or responsibility: enable supported relational engines?
- Amazon Neptune
- Amazon ElastiCache
- Amazon DocumentDB
- Amazon RDS
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Amazon RDS directly addresses this outcome. RDS manages selected database infrastructure work for relational workloads, while users still control database schema and access. A common relevant example is: a web application needs a managed relational database that supports SQL queries and transactions.
Incorrect Answers
A:Amazon Neptune instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a fraud team needs to query relationships and connections among entities. Neptune supports graph data models for workloads centered on relationships among connected entities. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: enable supported relational engines.
B:Amazon ElastiCache instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a shopping service needs fast in-memory access to frequently requested session information. ElastiCache reduces repeated backend reads by keeping appropriate data in memory for fast access. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: enable supported relational engines.
C:Amazon DocumentDB instead focuses on a different requirement, such as an application uses a MongoDB-compatible document data model and wants a managed database. DocumentDB is a managed document database, distinct from relational engines and caching services. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: enable supported relational engines.
Question 941
Within the Cloud Concepts domain, which business example MOST clearly illustrates Replatforming migration, rather than a different AWS concept?
- A company moves an application to AWS and also adopts a managed database without rebuilding its business logic
- An inventory review discovers a legacy reporting system with no users or business dependency
- An organization must transfer a very large volume of data from a remote site with insufficient network bandwidth
- Executives need a structured view of people, governance, business, platform, security, and operations during cloud adoption
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The decisive requirement is: Make limited platform optimizations while retaining the main application architecture. This is the role of Replatforming migration. Replatforming adjusts selected supporting components to gain cloud benefits without a full application rewrite.
Incorrect Answers
B:This describes a scenario for Retiring an application: decommission an unneeded application rather than migrate it. Retiring eliminates redundant or unused workloads so migration effort is not spent on systems with no continuing value. It is not the most direct example of Replatforming migration.
C: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 Replatforming migration.
D:This describes a scenario for AWS Cloud Adoption Framework: organize organizational readiness across AWS CAF perspectives. AWS CAF helps align business and technology stakeholders throughout cloud adoption instead of treating migration as a server-copy exercise. It is not the most direct example of Replatforming migration.
Question 942
A learner is explaining Security logging retention to colleagues facing this situation: an organization wants security logs available for internal investigations for a defined period. Which explanation is MOST accurate?
- AWS KMS manages keys and enforces key-use controls for integrated services; it is not a general database service.
- Collecting logs alone is insufficient unless their access, preservation and lifecycle align with organizational policy.
- Inspector identifies package and supported workload vulnerabilities; it is not a replacement for data classification.
- Defense in depth reduces dependence on a single security mechanism by using multiple complementary safeguards.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Collecting logs alone is insufficient unless their access, preservation and lifecycle align with organizational policy. The explanation directly connects Security logging retention to define appropriate access controls and retention for collected audit logs for the stated requirement.
Incorrect Answers
A:This statement is true of AWS KMS managed keys, which addresses an application team needs centralized control of encryption key use and auditability. It does not explain the particular role of Security logging retention; Collecting logs alone is insufficient unless their access, preservation and lifecycle align with organizational policy.
C:This statement is true of Amazon Inspector vulnerability findings, which addresses an administrator wants continuous assessments of supported workloads for software vulnerabilities. It does not explain the particular role of Security logging retention; Collecting logs alone is insufficient unless their access, preservation and lifecycle align with organizational policy.
D:This statement is true of Defense in depth, which addresses a security team wants more than a single network restriction protecting sensitive records. It does not explain the particular role of Security logging retention; Collecting logs alone is insufficient unless their access, preservation and lifecycle align with organizational policy.
Question 943
Which AWS service or cloud principle is the BEST fit for this outcome or responsibility: distribute components across isolated locations inside one geographic Region?
- AWS Global Accelerator
- AWS edge location
- Availability Zone
- Multiple AWS Regions
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Availability Zone directly addresses this outcome. Availability Zones are distinct locations within a Region designed to reduce shared failure risks. A common relevant example is: a service must use separate isolated locations within one selected AWS Region.
Incorrect Answers
A:AWS Global Accelerator instead focuses on a different requirement, such as an internet-facing app has regional endpoints and needs stable global entry points for traffic routing. Global Accelerator provides static anycast IP addresses and routes traffic over the AWS global network to healthy endpoints. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: distribute components across isolated locations inside one geographic Region.
B:AWS edge location instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a global website wants cached content served closer to its end users. AWS edge locations support services such as CloudFront and reduce delivery distance for content or requests. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: distribute components across isolated locations inside one geographic Region.
D:Multiple AWS Regions instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a business needs a disaster recovery location outside the primary Region. Deploying across Regions can address geographic disruptions, customer latency and residency objectives at higher complexity. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: distribute components across isolated locations inside one geographic Region.
Question 944
Within the Security and Compliance domain, which business example MOST clearly illustrates Multi-factor authentication, rather than a different AWS concept?
- An EC2 application needs AWS API permissions without storing a permanent access key in the server
- A company wants staff to authenticate to AWS using its existing corporate identity provider
- A security team wants to identify unintended external access to supported AWS resources
- A team wants an additional verification step if a user password is stolen
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The decisive requirement is: Require MFA for eligible AWS sign-in identities. This is the role of Multi-factor authentication. MFA requires another authentication factor beyond a password and reduces risks from compromised passwords.
Incorrect Answers
A:This describes a scenario for IAM roles: use an IAM role to provide temporary credentials to the workload. IAM roles can be assumed to obtain temporary security credentials and avoid embedding long-term keys in applications. It is not the most direct example of Multi-factor authentication.
B:This describes a scenario for Identity federation: federate existing enterprise identities instead of issuing separate permanent credentials. Federation integrates identity-provider authentication with AWS access, supporting centralized workforce identity management. It is not the most direct example of Multi-factor authentication.
C:This describes a scenario for IAM Access Analyzer: use IAM Access Analyzer to examine resource access and policy exposure. Access Analyzer helps identify access findings; it does not by itself remove the underlying excessive permissions. It is not the most direct example of Multi-factor authentication.
Question 945
A project manager compares Amazon Route 53 with other AWS concepts while considering this need: a business needs a managed DNS service for resolving public application domain names. Which pairing assigns the responsibilities or benefits correctly?
- Amazon Route 53: support managed DNS and related domain routing features; AWS Transit Gateway: simplify multi-network connectivity
- Amazon Route 53: simplify multi-network connectivity; AWS Transit Gateway: support managed DNS and related domain routing features
- Amazon Route 53: provide stateful virtual firewall rules for resources; Security groups: support managed DNS and related domain routing features
- Amazon Route 53: support private service connectivity from a VPC; AWS PrivateLink: support managed DNS and related domain routing features
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The first pairing identifies Amazon Route 53 with its actual role: use Amazon Route 53 for managed DNS and related domain routing features. Route 53 supplies managed DNS records and routing policies, rather than acting as a virtual machine host. The comparison is valid because AWS Transit Gateway instead addresses use AWS Transit Gateway to simplify multi-network connectivity.
Incorrect Answers
B:The roles are swapped. AWS Transit Gateway is associated with use AWS Transit Gateway to simplify multi-network connectivity; Amazon Route 53 instead has the role: Use Amazon Route 53 for managed DNS and related domain routing features. Route 53 supplies managed DNS records and routing policies, rather than acting as a virtual machine host.
C:The roles are swapped. Security groups is associated with use security groups as stateful virtual firewall rules for resources; Amazon Route 53 instead has the role: Use Amazon Route 53 for managed DNS and related domain routing features. Route 53 supplies managed DNS records and routing policies, rather than acting as a virtual machine host.
D:The roles are swapped. AWS PrivateLink is associated with use AWS PrivateLink for private service connectivity from a VPC; Amazon Route 53 instead has the role: Use Amazon Route 53 for managed DNS and related domain routing features. Route 53 supplies managed DNS records and routing policies, rather than acting as a virtual machine host.
Question 946
Which AWS service or cloud principle is the BEST fit for this outcome or responsibility: support customer-defined virtual networking?
- AWS Site-to-Site VPN
- Amazon VPC
- Amazon Route 53
- Security groups
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Amazon VPC directly addresses this outcome. A VPC is a logically isolated virtual network in which customers can organize subnets, routes and connectivity. A common relevant example is: a team wants a logically isolated network environment for its AWS compute resources.
Incorrect Answers
A:AWS Site-to-Site VPN instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a company wants an encrypted tunnel between an office network and its AWS VPC over the internet. Site-to-Site VPN provides encrypted tunnels using internet-based connectivity, subject to supported gateway arrangements. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: support customer-defined virtual networking.
C:Amazon Route 53 instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a business needs a managed DNS service for resolving public application domain names. Route 53 supplies managed DNS records and routing policies, rather than acting as a virtual machine host. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: support customer-defined virtual networking.
D:Security groups instead focuses on a different requirement, such as an EC2 workload should allow only specified inbound and outbound connections at the resource level. Security groups control permitted traffic for associated resources and automatically allow response traffic to allowed flows. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: support customer-defined virtual networking.
Question 947
A learner is explaining Encryption in transit to colleagues facing this situation: a company wants to protect data while it moves between clients and an online service. Which explanation is MOST accurate?
- AWS Artifact gives customers on-demand access to available AWS assurance reports and selected compliance agreements.
- AWS Config tracks supported resource configuration history and rules rather than serving as a generic application log service.
- Encryption in transit protects communications over networks; it differs from encryption of data stored on disks.
- Organizations groups accounts and supports policies and billing consolidation; it does not itself analyze threats.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Encryption in transit protects communications over networks; it differs from encryption of data stored on disks. The explanation directly connects Encryption in transit to use supported encrypted network connections such as TLS for the stated requirement.
Incorrect Answers
A:This statement is true of AWS Artifact compliance reports, which addresses an auditor asks a company for AWS third-party compliance and assurance documentation. It does not explain the particular role of Encryption in transit; Encryption in transit protects communications over networks; it differs from encryption of data stored on disks.
B:This statement is true of AWS Config resource history, which addresses an organization must inspect how an AWS resource configuration changed over time. It does not explain the particular role of Encryption in transit; Encryption in transit protects communications over networks; it differs from encryption of data stored on disks.
D:This statement is true of AWS Organizations governance, which addresses a company needs centralized governance across many separate AWS accounts. It does not explain the particular role of Encryption in transit; Encryption in transit protects communications over networks; it differs from encryption of data stored on disks.
Question 948
Which AWS service or cloud principle is the BEST fit for this outcome or responsibility: provide temporary credentials to the workload?
- Access keys
- AWS IAM Identity Center
- Amazon Cognito
- IAM roles
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:IAM roles directly addresses this outcome. IAM roles can be assumed to obtain temporary security credentials and avoid embedding long-term keys in applications. A common relevant example is: an EC2 application needs AWS API permissions without storing a permanent access key in the server.
Incorrect Answers
A:Access keys instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a legacy automation application uses an AWS access-key ID and secret key for API access. AWS access keys enable programmatic authentication and must not be committed to public repositories. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: provide temporary credentials to the workload.
B:AWS IAM Identity Center instead focuses on a different requirement, such as employees need centralized workforce access to multiple AWS accounts using corporate identities. IAM Identity Center connects workforce identities and assigns access across AWS accounts and compatible applications. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: provide temporary credentials to the workload.
C:Amazon Cognito identity instead focuses on a different requirement, such as a mobile application needs sign-up and authentication for its end users. Cognito focuses on end-user identity for web and mobile applications, not AWS workforce account administration. It is not the primary match for the requirement described here: provide temporary credentials to the workload.
Question 949
A government customer requires that certain datasets be stored in a specified legal jurisdiction. Which AWS service or cloud concept is the MOST direct match for this need?
- Data sovereignty Region choice
- AWS edge location
- AWS Global Accelerator
- Multiple Availability Zones
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Data sovereignty Region choice fits the need because region choice is a customer decision for residency compliance, subject to service availability and contractual requirements. The relevant capability or responsibility is: Select an appropriate available AWS Region and check service data-location behavior.
Incorrect Answers
B:AWS edge location is associated with a different use case: a global website wants cached content served closer to its end users. AWS edge locations support services such as CloudFront and reduce delivery distance for content or requests. The question instead focuses on a government customer requires that certain datasets be stored in a specified legal jurisdiction; Data sovereignty Region choice is the more direct match.
C:AWS Global Accelerator is associated with a different use case: an internet-facing app has regional endpoints and needs stable global entry points for traffic routing. Global Accelerator provides static anycast IP addresses and routes traffic over the AWS global network to healthy endpoints. The question instead focuses on a government customer requires that certain datasets be stored in a specified legal jurisdiction; Data sovereignty Region choice is the more direct match.
D:Multiple Availability Zones is associated with a different use case: an application must remain available if one Availability Zone experiences an outage. Multi-AZ deployments can avoid a single-AZ failure taking down the whole application. The question instead focuses on a government customer requires that certain datasets be stored in a specified legal jurisdiction; Data sovereignty Region choice is the more direct match.
Question 950
A learner is explaining Amazon Inspector to colleagues facing this situation: an administrator wants continuous assessments of supported workloads for software vulnerabilities. Which explanation is MOST accurate?
- Defense in depth reduces dependence on a single security mechanism by using multiple complementary safeguards.
- Inspector identifies package and supported workload vulnerabilities; it is not a replacement for data classification.
- CloudTrail helps audit actions performed through the console, SDK and API; it differs from performance metrics.
- AWS Audit Manager can collect evidence for assessments but does not replace an organization's compliance decisions.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Inspector identifies package and supported workload vulnerabilities; it is not a replacement for data classification. The explanation directly connects Amazon Inspector to use Amazon Inspector for vulnerability management findings for the stated requirement.
Incorrect Answers
A:This statement is true of Defense in depth, which addresses a security team wants more than a single network restriction protecting sensitive records. It does not explain the particular role of Amazon Inspector; Inspector identifies package and supported workload vulnerabilities; it is not a replacement for data classification.
C:This statement is true of AWS CloudTrail API auditing, which addresses a security analyst needs to see which principal made an AWS control-plane API call. It does not explain the particular role of Amazon Inspector; Inspector identifies package and supported workload vulnerabilities; it is not a replacement for data classification.
D:This statement is true of AWS Audit Manager evidence, which addresses a compliance team needs help collecting evidence against a recurring internal control assessment. It does not explain the particular role of Amazon Inspector; Inspector identifies package and supported workload vulnerabilities; it is not a replacement for data classification.
