Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 383 discussion

A is correct, snapshots are definitely incremental B is correct, a snapshot is a point-in-time backup of the EBS volume C is correct, you must use a snapshot with an AMI image. If you don't have a snapshot already, one will be created while creating the AMI (Note, you cannot reference a source snapshot when creating a Windows AMI image, that only works with Linux. Windows AMIs must be created from a running instance. However, the process of creating a Windows AMI still creates a snapshot of the running Windows instance's root volume and any other EBS volumes that are attached to the instance at the time. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/Creating_EBSbacked_WinAMI.html#process-creating-a-windows-ami-ebs ) D is incorrect. The EBS volume that was used to create the snapshot exists only in a specific AZ. But the snapshot is replicated across multiple AZs within the region for durability purposes, and can be used to generate a new EBS volume in any AZ within that region. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-storage-services-overview/durability-and-availability-3.html

D is the answer.

The answer is D . Now you can copy EBS snapshots to different regions as well. Ref: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ebs-snapshot-copy/

D. It is stored in the same AZ as the volume

EBS Snapshot stored in S3 bucket, but you can't access. So it will not be always on the same AZ. That is the only wrong. Answer D

Which of the below statements is INCORRECT? So it is C.

C is only true for Linux Instances - Not Windows

Answer D is correct.
