(&B) in front of web instances in an Auto Scaling Group When you check the metrics for the ELB in CloudWatch you see four healthy instances in Availability Zone
(AZ) A and zero in AZ B There are zero unhealthy instances.
What do you need to fix to balance the instances across AZs?

  • A. Set the ELB to only be attached to another AZ
  • B. Make sure Auto Scaling is configured to launch in both AZs
  • C. Make sure your AMI is available in both AZs
  • D. Make sure the maximum size of the Auto Scaling Group is greater than 4

Question #4 Topic 1

You have been asked to leverage Amazon VPC BC2 and SOS to implement an application that submits and receives millions of messages per second to a message queue. You want to ensure your application has sufficient bandwidth between your EC2 instances and SQS.
Which option will provide the most scalable solution for communicating between the application and SQS?

  • A. Ensure the application instances are properly configured with an Elastic Load Balancer
  • B. Ensure the application instances are launched in private subnets with the EBS-optimized option enabled
  • C. Ensure the application instances are launched in public subnets with the associate-public-IP-address=true option enabled
  • D. Launch application instances in private subnets with an Auto Scaling group and Auto Scaling triggers configured to watch the SQS queue size

Correct Answer: D 🗳️
Bandwidth literally means network not IO Bandwidth. Having alerts to scale the Autoscaling is most sophisticated option.

Question #5 Topic 1

Your application currently leverages AWS Auto Scaling to grow and shrink as load Increases/ decreases and has been performing well. Your marketing team expects a steady ramp up in traffic to follow an upcoming campaign that will result in a 20x growth in traffic over 4 weeks. Your forecast for the approximate number of Amazon EC2 instances necessary to meet the peak demand is 175.
What should you do to avoid potential service disruptions during the ramp up in traffic?

  • A. Ensure that you have pre-allocated 175 Elastic IP addresses so that each server will be able to obtain one as it launches
  • B. Check the service limits in Trusted Advisor and adjust as necessary so the forecasted count remains within limits.
  • C. Change your Auto Scaling configuration to set a desired capacity of 175 prior to the launch of the marketing campaign
  • D. Pre-warm your Elastic Load Balancer to match the requests per second anticipated during peak demand prior to the marketing campaign

Question #10 Topic 1

An organization has configured a VPC with an Internet Gateway (IGW). pairs of public and private subnets (each with one subnet per Availability Zone), and an
Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) configured to use the public subnets. The application s web tier leverages the ELB. Auto Scaling and a mum-AZ RDS database instance The organization would like to eliminate any potential single points ft failure in this design.
What step should you take to achieve this organization's objective?

  • A. Nothing, there are no single points of failure in this architecture.
  • B. Create and attach a second IGW to provide redundant internet connectivity.
  • C. Create and configure a second Elastic Load Balancer to provide a redundant load balancer.
  • D. Create a second multi-AZ RDS instance in another Availability Zone and configure replication to provide a redundant database.

Correct Answer: A 🗳️
You need multiple ELB if you want HA across regions.
ג€AWS Load Balancer ג€"Cross Network
Many times it happens that after setting up your ELB, you experience significant drops in your performance. The best way to handle this situation is to start with identifying whether your ELB is single AZ or multiple AZ, as single AZ ELB is also considered as one of the Single Points of Failures on AWS Cloud. Once you identify your ELB, it is necessary to make sure ELB loads are kept cross regions.ג€
