Question 1

A company plans to migrate to the AWS Cloud. The company is gathering information about its on-premises infrastructure and requires information such as the
hostname, IP address, and MAC address.
Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

AWS Application Discovery Service is a service that helps you plan your migration to the AWS Cloud by collecting usage and configuration data about your onpremises servers and databases. This data includes information such as the hostname, IP address, and MAC address of each server, as well as the performance
metrics, network connections, and processes running on them. You can use AWS Application Discovery Service to discover your on-premises inventory, map the
dependencies between servers and applications, and estimate the cost and effort of migrating to AWS. You can also export the data to other AWS services, such
as AWS Migration Hub and AWS Database Migration Service, to support your migration tasks. AWS Application Discovery Service offers two ways of performing
discovery: agentless discovery and agent-based discovery. Agentless discovery uses a virtual appliance that you deploy on your VMware vCenter to collect data
from your virtual machines and hosts. Agent-based discovery uses an agent that you install on each of your physical or virtual servers to collect data. You can
choose the method that best suits your environment and needs. AWS DataSync is a service that helps you transfer data between your on-premises storage and
AWS storage services, such as Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, and Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. AWS DataSync does not collect information about your onpremises infrastructure, but rather focuses on optimizing the data transfer speed, security, and reliability. AWS Application Migration Service is a service that helps
you migrate your applications from your on-premises or cloud environment to AWS without making any changes to the applications, their architecture, or the
migrated servers. AWS Application Migration Service does not collect information about your on- premises infrastructure, but rather uses a lightweight agent to
replicate your servers as Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and launch them as EC2 instances on AWS. AWS Database Migration Service is a service that helps
you migrate your databases from your on-premises or cloud environment to AWS, either as a one-time migration or as a continuous replication. AWS Database
Migration Service does not collect information about your on-premises infrastructure, but rather uses a source and a target endpoint to connect to your databases
and transfer the data. References: AWS Application Discovery Service, AWS DataSync, AWS Application Migration Service, [AWS Database Migration Service]

Question 2

A company wants to make an upfront commitment for continued use of its production Amazon EC2 instances in exchange for a reduced overall cost.
Which pricing options meet these requirements with the LOWEST cost? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Reserved Instances (RIs) are a pricing model that allows you to reserve EC2 instances for a specified period of time (one or three years) and receive a significant
discount compared to On-Demand pricing. RIs are suitable for workloads that have predictable usage patterns and require a long-term commitment. You can
choose between three payment options: All Upfront, Partial Upfront, or No Upfront. The more you pay upfront, the greater the discount1.
Savings Plans are a flexible pricing model that can help you reduce your EC2 costs by up to 72% compared to On-Demand pricing, in exchange for a commitment
to a consistent amount of usage (measured in $/hour) for a one or three year term. Savings Plans apply to usage across EC2, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate.
You can choose between two types of Savings Plans: Compute Savings Plans and EC2 Instance Savings Plans. Compute Savings Plans offer the most flexibility
and apply to any instance family, size, OS, tenancy, or region. EC2 Instance Savings Plans offer the highest discount and apply to a specific instance family within
a region2.
Spot Instances are a pricing model that allows you to bid for unused EC2 capacity in the AWS cloud and are available at a discount of up to 90% compared to OnDemand pricing. Spot Instances are suitable for fault-tolerant or stateless workloads that can run on heterogeneous hardware and have flexible start and end
times. However, Spot Instances are not guaranteed and can be interrupted by AWS at any time if the demand for capacity increases or your bid price is lower than
the current Spot price3.
On-Demand Instances are a pricing model that allows you to pay for compute capacity by the hour or second with no long-term commitments. On-Demand
Instances are suitable for short-term, spiky, or unpredictable workloads that cannot be interrupted, or for applications that are being developed or tested on EC2 for
the first time. However, On-Demand Instances are the most expensive option among the four pricing models4.
Dedicated Hosts are physical EC2 servers fully dedicated for your use. Dedicated Hosts can help you reduce costs by allowing you to use your existing serverbound software licenses, such as Windows Server, SQL Server, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Dedicated Hosts can be purchased On-Demand or as part of
Savings Plans. Dedicated Hosts are suitable for workloads that need to run on dedicated physical servers or have strict licensing requirements. However,
Dedicated Hosts are not the lowest cost option among the four pricing models.

Question 8

A company wants to receive a notification when a specific AWS cost threshold is reached.
Which AWS services or tools can the company use to meet this requirement? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

AWS Budgets and Amazon CloudWatch are two AWS services or tools that the company can use to receive a notification when a specific AWS cost threshold is
reached. AWS Budgets allows users to set custom budgets to track their costs and usage, and respond quickly to alerts received from email or Amazon Simple
Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notifications if they exceed their threshold. Users can create cost budgets with fixed or variable target amounts, and configure
their notifications for actual or forecasted spend. Users can also set up custom actions to run automatically or through an approval process when a budget target is
exceeded. For example, users could automatically apply a custom IAM policy that denies them the ability to provision additional resources within an account.
Amazon CloudWatch is a service that monitors applications, responds to performance changes, optimizes resource use, and provides insights into operational
health. Users can use CloudWatch to collect and track metrics, which are variables they can measure for their resources and applications. Users can create
alarms that watch metrics and send notifications or automatically make changes to the resources they are monitoring when a threshold is breached. Users can use
CloudWatch to monitor their AWS costs and usage by creating billing alarms that send notifications when their estimated charges exceed a specified threshold
amount. Users can also use CloudWatch to monitor their Reserved Instance (RI) or Savings Plans utilization and coverage, and receive notifications when they fall
below a certain level.
