Can be scaled manually in a shorter period of time.

Provides your business with a seamless remote accessibility.

Prevents unauthorized users from getting into your network.

Provides automatic data backups.

A user is planning to launch two additional Amazon EC2 instances to increase availability. Which action should the user take?

Launch the instances across multiple Availability Zones in a single AWS Region.

Launch the instances as EC2 Reserved Instances in the same AWS Region and the same Availability Zone.

Launch the instances in multiple AWS Regions but in the same Availability Zone.

Launch the instances as EC2 Spot Instances in the same AWS Region but in different Availability Zones.

A company wants to reduce the physical compute footprint that developers use to run code. Which service would meet that need by enabling serverless architectures?

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).

How does AWS shorten the time to provision IT resources?

It provides the ability to programmatically provision existing resources.

It supplies an online IT ticketing platform for resource requests.

It supports automatic code validation services.

It automates the resource request process from a company's IT vendor list.

A company's web application currently has light dependencies on underlying components so when one component fails the entire web application fails. Applying which AWS Cloud design principle will address the current design issue?

Focusing on decoupling components by isolating them and ensuring individual components can function when other components.

Implementing elasticity enabling the application to scale up or scale down as demand changes.

Enabling several EC2 instances to run in parallel to achieve better performance.

Doubling EC2 computing resources to increase system fault tolerance.

Which services are parts of the AWS serverless platform?

AWS Step Functions, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon SNS.

Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon Athena.

Amazon Kinesis, Amazon SQS, Amazon EMR.

Amazon Athena, Amazon Cognito, Amazon EC2.
