Which combination of steps should the DevOps engineer take to meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)
A company uses AWS Organizations and AWS Control Tower to manage all the company's AWS accounts. The company uses the Enterprise Support plan.
A DevOps engineer is using Account Factory for Terraform (AFT) to provision new accounts. When new accounts are provisioned, the DevOps engineer notices that the support plan for the new accounts is set to the Basic Support plan. The DevOps engineer needs to implement a solution to provision the new accounts with the Enterprise Support plan.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company has an application that runs on AWS Lambda and sends logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. An Amazon Kinesis data stream is subscribed to the log groups in CloudWatch Logs. A single consumer Lambda function processes the logs from the data stream and stores the logs in an Amazon S3 bucket.
The company's DevOps team has noticed high latency during the processing and ingestion of some logs.
Which combination of steps will reduce the latency? (Select THREE.)
A DevOps engineer is building a multistage pipeline with AWS CodePipeline to build, verify, stage, test, and deploy an application. A manual approval stage is required between the test stage and the deploy stage. The development team uses a custom chat tool with webhook support that requires near-real-time notifications.
How should the DevOps engineer configure status updates for pipeline activity and approval requests to post to the chat tool?
A company runs a workload on Amazon EC2 instances. The company needs a control that requires the use of Instance Metadata Service Version 2 (IMDSv2) on all EC2 instances in the AWS account. If an EC2 instance does not prevent the use of Instance Metadata Service Version 1 (IMDSv1), the EC2 instance must be terminated.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A DevOps engineer manages a Java-based application that runs in an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster on AWS Fargate. Auto scaling has not been configured for the application. The DevOps engineer has determined that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) thread count is a good indicator of when to scale the application. The application serves customer traffic on port 8080 and makes JVM metrics available on port 9404. Application use has recently increased. The DevOps engineer needs to configure auto scaling for the application. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
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 application that runs on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances. The application requires frequent restarts. The application logs contain error messages when a restart is required. The application logs are published to a log group in Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
An Amazon CloudWatch alarm notifies an application engineer through an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic when the logs contain a large number of restart-related error messages. The application engineer manually restarts the application on the instances after the application engineer receives a notification from the SNS topic.
A DevOps engineer needs to implement a solution to automate the application restart on the instances without restarting the instances.
Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient manner?
A company needs to increase the security of the container images that run in its production environment. The company wants to integrate operating system scanning and programming language package vulnerability scanning for the containers in its CI/CD pipeline. The CI/CD pipeline is an AWS CodePipeline pipeline that includes an AWS CodeBuild project, AWS CodeDeploy actions, and an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) repository.
A DevOps engineer needs to add an image scan to the CI/CD pipeline. The CI/CD pipeline must deploy only images without CRITICAL and HIGH findings into production.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A DevOps engineer updates an AWS CloudFormation stack to add a nested stack that includes several Amazon EC2 instances. When the DevOps engineer attempts to deploy the updated stack, the nested stack fails to deploy. What should the DevOps engineer do to determine the cause of the failure?
A company wants to use AWS Systems Manager documents to bootstrap physical laptops for developers The bootstrap code Is stored in GitHub A DevOps engineer has already created a Systems Manager activation, installed the Systems Manager agent with the registration code, and installed an activation ID on all the laptops.
Which set of steps should be taken next?
A company is storing 100 GB of log data in csv format in an Amazon S3 bucket SQL developers want to query this data and generate graphs to visualize it. The SQL developers also need an efficient automated way to store metadata from the csv file.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of effort? (Select THREE.)
