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 DevOps engineer has developed an AWS Lambda function The Lambda function starts an AWS CloudFormation drift detection operation on all supported resources for a specific CloudFormation stack The Lambda function then exits Its invocation The DevOps engineer has created an Amazon EventBrdge scheduled rule that Invokes the Lambda function every hour. An Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic already exists In the AWS account. The DevOps engineer has subscribed to the SNS topic to receive notifications
The DevOps engineer needs to receive a notification as soon as possible when drift is detected in this specific stack configuration.
Which solution Will meet these requirements?
A company has an on-premises application that is written in Go. A DevOps engineer must move the application to AWS. The company's development team wants to enable blue/green deployments and perform A/B testing.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company runs an application in an Auto Scaling group of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The EC2 instances run Docker containers that make requests to a MySQL database that runs on separate EC2 instances. A DevOps engineer needs to update the application to use a serverless architecture. Which solution will meet this requirement with the FEWEST changes?
A company has a mission-critical application on AWS that uses automatic scaling The company wants the deployment lilecycle to meet the following parameters.
• The application must be deployed one instance at a time to ensure the remaining fleet continues to serve traffic
• The application is CPU intensive and must be closely monitored
• The deployment must automatically roll back if the CPU utilization of the deployment instance exceeds 85%.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company that uses electronic health records is running a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances with an Amazon Linux operating system. As part of patient privacy requirements, the company must ensure continuous compliance for patches for operating system and applications running on the EC2 instances.
How can the deployments of the operating system and application patches be automated using a default and custom repository?
A DevOps engineer is deploying a new version of a company's application in an AWS CodeDeploy deployment group associated with its Amazon EC2 instances. After some time, the deployment fails. The engineer realizes that all the events associated with the specific deployment ID are in a Skipped status and code was not deployed in the instances associated with the deployment group.
What are valid reasons for this failure? (Select TWO.).
A development team uses AWS CodeCommit for version control for applications. The development team uses AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild. and AWS CodeDeploy for CI/CD infrastructure. In CodeCommit, the development team recently merged pull requests that did not pass long-running tests in the code base. The development team needed to perform rollbacks to branches in the codebase, resulting in lost time and wasted effort.
A DevOps engineer must automate testing of pull requests in CodeCommit to ensure that reviewers more easily see the results of automated tests as part of the pull request review.
What should the DevOps engineer do to meet this requirement?
A company is using AWS Organizations to centrally manage its AWS accounts. The company has turned on AWS Config in each member account by using AWS Cloud Formation StackSets The company has configured trusted access in Organizations for AWS Config and has configured a member account as a delegated administrator account for AWS Config
A DevOps engineer needs to implement a new security policy The policy must require all current and future AWS member accounts to use a common baseline of AWS Config rules that contain remediation actions that are managed from a central account Non-administrator users who can access member accounts must not be able to modify this common baseline of AWS Config rules that are deployed into each member account
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company runs an application with an Amazon EC2 and on-premises configuration. A DevOps engineer needs to standardize patching across both environments. Company policy dictates that patching only happens during non-business hours.
Which combination of actions will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
A company is using AWS Organizations to create separate AWS accounts for each of its departments The company needs to automate the following tasks
• Update the Linux AMIs with new patches periodically and generate a golden image
• Install a new version to Chef agents in the golden image, is available
• Provide the newly generated AMIs to the department's accounts
Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST management overhead'?
A company builds an application that uses an Application Load Balancer in front of Amazon EC2 instances that are in an Auto Scaling group. The
application is stateless. The Auto Scaling group uses a custom AMI that is fully prebuilt. The EC2 instances do not have a custom bootstrapping process.
The AMI that the Auto Scaling group uses was recently deleted. The Auto Scaling group's scaling activities show failures because the AMI ID does not exist.
Which combination of steps should a DevOps engineer take to meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)
