Which AWS service provides a fully managed environment to run containerized web applications with automatic scaling and load balancing, requiring minimal configuration?
Answer: AWS App Runner
AWS App Runner builds, deploys, and scales containerized web applications automatically with no infrastructure management needed.
A solutions architect needs to run EC2 instances that are physically isolated at the host level but does NOT need to use their own software licenses. Which option should they choose?
Answer: Dedicated Instances
Dedicated Instances run on hardware dedicated to a single customer but AWS manages host placement; Dedicated Hosts are needed when per-host visibility and license control are required.
Which EC2 instance family uses custom AWS Graviton processors and is known for offering better price-performance for many workloads?
Answer: Graviton-based instances (e.g., M6g, C7g)
Graviton-based instances use AWS-designed ARM processors and typically deliver up to 40% better price-performance than comparable x86 instances.
In the context of EC2 Auto Scaling, what is a 'launch template' used for?
Answer: Specifying the AMI, instance type, key pair, and other configuration for new instances
A launch template contains the configuration blueprint (AMI, instance type, security groups, etc.) that Auto Scaling uses when it launches new EC2 instances.
Which statement about AWS Lambda and VPC integration is correct?
Answer: Lambda functions can be configured to access resources in a VPC by attaching VPC settings to the function
You can configure a Lambda function to connect to private subnets in a VPC, allowing it to access RDS databases, ElastiCache clusters, or other private resources.
What is the primary use case for Amazon EC2 Image Builder?
Answer: Automating the creation, maintenance, and testing of EC2 AMIs
EC2 Image Builder automates the pipeline to build, test, and distribute golden AMIs, ensuring they are patched and compliant.
Which of the following best describes the concept of 'elasticity' in AWS compute services?
Answer: The ability to automatically acquire and release compute resources to match current demand
Elasticity refers to the ability to scale resources up or down automatically in response to changing demand, avoiding both over-provisioning and under-provisioning.
