AWS Certified Professional SAP-C02 Amazon Web Services Study Notes

- Export an OVF Template

- Create / use an Amazon S3 bucket for storing the exported images. The bucket must be in the Region where you want to import your VMs.

- Create an IAM role named vmimport.

- You'll use AWS CLI to run the import commands.

C is correct because:

AWS WAF integrates natively with API Gateway and protects against common web exploits (e.g., SQL injection, XSS).

Amazon Inspector can scan the legacy EC2 instance for known vulnerabilities.

Amazon GuardDuty is a continuous security monitoring service that detects threats butdoes not blocktraffic (B and D are incorrect because GuardDuty doesn’t block).

The correct answer is B.

B. This solution is the most cost-effective because it uses an EC2 Instance Savings Plan for the online gaming application instances, which provides the lowest prices and savings up to 72% compared to On-Demand prices. The EC2 Instance Savings Plan applies to any instance size within the same family and region, regardless of availability zone, operating system, or tenancy. The online gaming application instances run all year and must always be available, so they are not suitable for Spot Instances, which can be interrupted with a two-minute notice. This solution also uses Spot Instances for the analytics application, which can reduce the cost by up to 90% compared to On-Demand prices. The analytics application can be interrupted and resumed without issue, so it is a good fit for Spot Instances, which use spare EC2 capacity.This solution does not require AWSService Catalog, which is a service that helps to create and manage catalogs of IT services that are approved for use on AWS, but does not provide any discounts123

A. This solution is incorrect because it uses On-Demand Instances for the analytics application, which are more expensive than Spot Instances. The analytics application can be interrupted and resumed without issue, so it can benefit from the lower cost of Spot Instances, which use spare EC2 capacity.

The online gaming application instances must always be available, so they are not suitable for Spot Instances, which use spare EC2 capacity.

Using an Amazon Kinesis data stream as a target for the IoT Core rule ensures durable and scalable buffering of data during traffic spikes.

An ECS Fargate application reads data from Kinesis, processes it, and stores it in Aurora, meeting the requirement for flexible, serverless data handling.

This solution guarantees no data loss while providing real-time or near-real-time data processing capabilities.
