A DevOps engineer is planning to deploy a Ruby-based application to production. The application needs to interact with an Amazon RDS for MySQL database and should have automatic scaling and high availability. The stored data in the database is critical and should persist regardless of the state of the application stack.
The DevOps engineer needs to set up an automated deployment strategy for the application with automatic rollbacks. The solution also must alert the application team when a deployment fails.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)
A company is running an application on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. Recently an issue occurred that prevented EC2 instances from launching successfully and it took several hours for the support team to discover the issue. The support team wants to be notified by email whenever an EC2 instance does not start successfully.
Which action will accomplish this?
A company's application runs on Amazon EC2 instances. The application writes to a log file that records the username, date, time: and source IP address of the login. The log is published to a log group in Amazon CloudWatch Logs
The company is performing a root cause analysis for an event that occurred on the previous day The company needs to know the number of logins for a specific user from the past 7 days
Which solution will provide this information'?
A DevOps engineer is setting up a container-based architecture. The engineer has decided to use AWS CloudFormation to automatically provision an Amazon ECS cluster and an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to launch the EC2 container instances. After successfully creating the CloudFormation stack, the engineer noticed that, even though the ECS cluster and the EC2 instances were created successfully and the stack finished the creation, the EC2 instances were associating with a different cluster.
How should the DevOps engineer update the CloudFormation template to resolve this issue?
A DevOps team deploys an ECS app behind an ALB using CodeDeploy with all-at-once strategy. Recent deployment increased response times, requiring rollback. The team wants a deployment strategy to monitor new versions before full traffic shift and rollback quickly if issues occur.
Which steps meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A company provides an application to customers. The application has an Amazon API Gateway REST API that invokes an AWS Lambda function. On initialization, the Lambda function loads a large amount of data from an Amazon DynamoDB table. The data load process results in long cold-start times of 8-10 seconds. The DynamoDB table has DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) configured.
Customers report that the application intermittently takes a long time to respond to requests. The application receives thousands of requests throughout the day. In the middle of the day, the application experiences 10 times more requests than at any other time of the day. Near the end of the day, the application's request volume decreases to 10% of its normal total.
A DevOps engineer needs to reduce the latency of the Lambda function at all times of the day.

A DevOps engineer uses AWS CodeBuild to frequently produce software packages. The CodeBuild project builds large Docker images that the DevOps engineer can use across multiple builds. The DevOps engineer wants to improve build performance and minimize costs. Which solution will meet these requirements?
An IT team has built an AWS CloudFormation template so others in the company can quickly and reliably deploy and terminate an application. The template creates an Amazon EC2 instance with a user data script to install the application and an Amazon S3 bucket that the application uses to serve static webpages while it is running.
All resources should be removed when the CloudFormation stack is deleted. However, the team observes that CloudFormation reports an error during stack deletion, and the S3 bucket created by the stack is not deleted.
How can the team resolve the error in the MOST efficient manner to ensure that all resources are deleted without errors?
A company needs a strategy for failover and disaster recovery of its data and application. The application uses a MySQL database and Amazon EC2 instances. The company requires a maximum RPO of 2 hours and a maximum RTO of 10 minutes for its data and application at all times.
Which combination of deployment strategies will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A company uses Amazon EC2 as its primary compute platform. A DevOps team wants to audit the company's EC2 instances to check whether any prohibited applications have been installed on the EC2 instances.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?
A DevOps team supports an application that runs on a large number of Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. The DevOps team uses AWS CloudFormation to deploy the EC2 instances. The application recently experienced an issue. A single instance returned errors to a large percentage of requests. The EC2 instance responded as healthy to both Amazon EC2 and Elastic Load Balancing health checks. The DevOps team collects application logs in Amazon CloudWatch by using the embedded metric format. The DevOps team needs to receive an alert if any EC2 instance is responsible for more than half of all errors. Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead? (Select TWO.)
A company requires its developers to tag all Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes in an account to indicate a desired backup frequency. This requirement Includes EBS volumes that do not require backups. The company uses custom tags named Backup_Frequency that have values of none, dally, or weekly that correspond to the desired backup frequency. An audit finds that developers are occasionally not tagging the EBS volumes.
A DevOps engineer needs to ensure that all EBS volumes always have the Backup_Frequency tag so that the company can perform backups at least weekly unless a different value is specified.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A DevOps engineer is building an application that uses an AWS Lambda function to query an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster. The Lambda function performs only read queries. Amazon EventBridge events invoke the Lambda function.
As more events invoke the Lambda function each second, the database's latency increases and the database's throughput decreases. The DevOps engineer needs to improve the performance of the application.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)
A DevOps engineer successfully creates an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster that includes managed node groups. When the DevOps engineer tries to add node groups to the cluster, the cluster returns an error that states, "NodeCreationFailure: Instances failed to join the Kubernetes cluster." The DevOps engineer confirms that the EC2 worker nodes are running and that the EKS cluster is in an active state. How should the DevOps engineer troubleshoot this issue?
A company has an application and a CI/CD pipeline. The CI/CD pipeline consists of an AWS CodePipeline pipeline and an AWS CodeBuild project. The CodeBuild project runs tests against the application as part of the build process and outputs a test report. The company must keep the test reports for 90 days.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company has many AWS accounts. During AWS account creation the company uses automation to create an Amazon CloudWatch Logs log group in every AWS Region that the company operates in. The automaton configures new resources in the accounts to publish logs to the provisioned log groups in their Region.
The company has created a logging account to centralize the logging from all the other accounts. A DevOps engineer needs to aggregate the log groups from all the accounts to an existing Amazon S3 bucket in the logging account.
Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient manner?
