A global health-care company has an EFS filesystem being used in eu-west-1. The company would like to plan for a disaster recovery strategy and backup that EFS file system in ap-southeast-2. It needs to have a hot copy of the data so that the applications can be re-deployed in ap-southeast-2 with a minimum RPO and RTO. The VPCs in each region are not peered with each other.

How should a DevOps engineer implement a solution for this use-case?

Create a replication cluster managed by EC2 with Auto Scaling in eu-west-1. Scale according to a Custom Metric you would publish with the application representing the lag in file reads. Create a standby EFS cluster in ap-southeast-2 and mount it on the same EC2 cluster. Let the replication software perform EFS to EFS replication

As a DevOps Engineer at an IT company, you are looking to create a daily EBS backup workflow. That workflow must take an EBS volume, and create a snapshot from it. When the snapshot is created, it must be copied to another region. In case the other region is unavailable because of a disaster, then that backup should be copied to a third region. An email address must be notified of the final result. There's a requirement to keep an audit trail of all executions as well.

How can you implement this efficiently and in a fail-safe way?

Create an SSM Automation that will perform each action. Add failure logic between steps to deal with conditional cases

The DevOps team at an auditing firm has deployed its flagship application on Elastic Beanstalk that processes invoices uploaded by customers in CSV form. The invoices can be quite big, with up to 10MB and 1,000,000 records total. Processing is CPU intensive which results in slowing down the application. Customers are sent an email when the processing is done, through the use of a cron job. The auditing firm has hired you as an AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional to build a solution for this requirement.

What do you recommend for the application to ensure a good performance and address scalability requirements?

Create a separate Beanstalk environment that's a worker environment and processes invoices through an SQS queue. The invoices are uploaded into S3 and a reference to it is sent to the SQS by the web tier. The worker tier processes these files. A cron job defined using the cron.yml file will send out the emails

Create a separate Beanstalk tier within the same environment that's a worker configuration and processes invoices through an SQS queue.

A mobility company connects people with taxi drivers and the DevOps team at the company uses CodeCommit as a backup and disaster recovery service for several of its DevOps processes. The team is creating a CICD pipeline so that your code in the CodeCommit master branch automatically gets packaged as a Docker container and published to ECR. The team would then like that image to be automatically deployed to an ECS cluster using a Blue/Green strategy.

As an AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, which of the following options would you recommend as the most efficient solution to meet the given requirements?

Create a CodePipeline that will invoke a CodeBuild stage. The CodeBuild stage should acquire ECR credentials using the CLI helpers, build the image, and then push it to ECR. Upon the success of that CodeBuild stage, start a CodeDeploy stage with a target being your ECS service

Create a CodePipeline that will invoke a CodeBuild stage. The CodeBuild stage should acquire ECR credentials using the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables passed in through CodeBuild configuration, the values being those from your user. Upon the success of that CodeBuild stage, create a new task definition automatically using CodePipeline and apply that task definition to the ECS service using a CloudFormation action

Create a CodePipeline that will invoke a CodeBuild stage. The CodeBuild stage should acquire ECR credentials using the CLI helpers, build the image, and then push it to ECR.

As part of the CICD pipeline, a DevOps Engineer is performing a functional test using a CloudFormation template that will later get deployed to production. That CloudFormation template creates an S3 bucket and a Lambda function which transforms images uploaded into S3 into thumbnails. To test the Lambda function, a few images are automatically uploaded and the thumbnail output is expected from the Lambda function on the S3 bucket. As part of the clean-up of these functional tests, the CloudFormation stack is deleted, but right now the delete fails.

What's the reason and how could this issue be fixed?

The S3 bucket contains files and therefore cannot be deleted by CloudFormation. Add the property Delete: Force to your CloudFormation template so that the S3 bucket is emptied before being deleted

The S3 bucket contains files and therefore cannot be deleted by CloudFormation. Create an additional Custom Resource backed by a Lambda function that performs a clean-up of the bucket

A StackPolicy prevents the CloudFormation template to be deleted. Clear the Stack Policy and try again

The Lambda function is still using the S3 bucket and CloudFormation cannot, therefore, delete the S3 bucket. Place a WaitCondition on the Lambda function to fix the issue

A graphics design company is experimenting with a new feature for an API and the objective is to pass the field "color" in the JSON payload to enable this feature. The new Lambda function should treat "color": "none" as a request from an older client. The company would like to only have to manage one Lambda function in the back-end while being able to support both old and new clients. The API Gateway API is currently deployed on the v1 stage. Old clients include Android applications which may take time to be updated. The technical requirements mandate that the solution should support the old clients for years to come.

As an AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional, which of the following options would you recommend as the best fit for the given use-case?

Create a new Lambda function version and release it. Create a new API Gateway Stage and deploy it to the v2 stage. Both use the same Lambda function as a backing route for the v1 and v2 stages. Add a static mapping on the v1 route to add "color": "none" on requests

Create a new Lambda function version and release it as a separate v2 function. Create a new API Gateway Stage and deploy it to the v2 stage. The v1 API gateway stage points to the v1 Lambda function and the v2 API Gateway stage to the v2 Lambda function. Implement redirection from the Lambda v1 function to the Lambda v2 function when the request is missing the "color" field

Enable API Gateway v1 API caching and delete the v1 AWS Lambda function. Deploy a v2 API Gateway backed by a newly released v2 AWS Lambda function. Add an API Gateway stage variable to enable the "color": "none" default value

Create a new Lambda function version and release it. Use API Gateway mapping documents to add a default value "color": "none" to the JSON request being passed on your API Gateway stage

The DevOps team at a presentation software company is deploying their flagship application using Elastic Beanstalk. The application is deployed using a Deploy stage in a CodePipeline pipeline. The technical requirements mandate changing the configuration of the Application Load Balancer tied to Elastic Beanstalk by adding an HTTP to HTTPS redirection rule.

As a DevOps Engineer, you don't have the permissions to directly edit the Elastic Beanstalk environment, how can you proceed?

Create a file named .ebextensions/alb.config in your code repository and add a container_commands block for which you will specify a container command that will run in leader_only mode. The EC2 instance will issue an API call to the Load Balancer to add the redirection rule

Using the EB CLI, create a .elasticbeanstalk/saved_configs/config.yml, and specify the rules for the key aws:elbv2:listener:default. Run a deploy using the EB CLI from your computer onto the Elastic Beanstalk Environment

Create a file named .ebextensions/alb.config in your code repository and add an option_settings block for which you will specify the Rules for the key aws:elbv2:listener:default. Push your code and let the CodePipeline run

A production support team manages a web application running on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances configured with an Application Load balancer (ALB). The instances run in an EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. A critical bug fix has to be deployed to the production application. The team needs a deployment strategy that can:

a) Create another fleet of instances with the same capacity and configuration as the original one. b) Continue access to the original application without a downtime c) Transition the traffic to the new fleet when the deployment is fully done. The production test team has requested a two-hour window to complete thorough testing on the new fleet of instances. d) Terminate the original fleet automatically once the test window expires.

As a DevOps engineer, which deployment solution will you choose to cater to all the given requirements?

Configure AWS Elastic Beanstalk to perform a Blue/Green deployment. This will create a new environment different from the original environment to continue serving the production traffic. Terminate the original environment after two hours and confirm the DNS changes of the new environment have propagated correctly

Use AWS CodeDeploy with a deployment type configured to Blue/Green deployment configuration. To terminate the original fleet after two hours, change the deployment settings of the Blue/Green deployment. Set Original instances value to 'Terminate the original instances in the deployment group' and choose a waiting period of two hours. Choose OneAtATime Deployment configuration setting to deregister the original fleet of instances one at a time to provide increased test time for the production team

Configure AWS Elastic Beanstalk to use rolling deployment policy. Elastic Beanstalk splits the environment's Amazon EC2 instances into batches and deploys the new version of the application to one batch at a time. Production traffic is served unaffected. Use rolling restarts to restart the proxy and application servers running on your environment's instances without downtime

An e-commerce company has a serverless application stack that consists of CloudFront, API Gateway and Lambda functions. The company has hired you to improve the current deployment process which creates a new version of the Lambda function and then runs an AWS CLI script for deployment. In case the new version errors out, then another CLI script is invoked to deploy the previous working version of the Lambda function. The company has mandated you to decrease the time to deploy new versions of the Lambda functions and also reduce the time to detect and roll back when errors are identified.

Which of the following solutions would you suggest for the given use case?

Set up and deploy nested CloudFormation stacks with the CloudFront distribution as well as the API Gateway in the parent stack. Create and deploy a child stack containing the Lambda functions. To address any changes in a Lambda function, create a CloudFormation change set and deploy. Use pre-traffic and post-traffic test functions of the change set to verify the deployment. Rollback in case CloudWatch alarms are triggered

Use Serverless Application Model (SAM) and leverage the built-in traffic-shifting feature of SAM to deploy the new Lambda version via CodeDeploy and use pre-traffic and post-traffic test functions to verify code. Rollback in case CloudWatch alarms are triggered

Set up and deploy nested CloudFormation stacks with the CloudFront distribution as well as the API Gateway in the parent stack. Create and deploy a child stack containing the Lambda functions. To address any changes in a Lambda function, create a CloudFormation change set and deploy. In case the Lambda function errors out, rollback the CloudFormation change set to the previous version

Set up and deploy a CloudFormation stack containing a new API Gateway endpoint that points to the new Lambda version. Test the updated CloudFront origin that points to this new API Gateway endpoint and in case errors are detected then revert the CloudFront origin to the previous working API Gateway endpoint

As a security best practice, a company has decided to back up all of its Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes every week. To implement this change, developers are mandated to tag all Amazon EBS volumes with a custom tag. The company runs an automated solution that reads the custom tag having the value of the desired backup frequency as weekly for each EBS volume and then the solution schedules the backup. However, a recent audit report has highlighted the fact that a few EBS volumes were not backed up as expected because of the missing custom tag.

As a DevOps engineer which solution will you choose to enforce backup for all EBS volumes used by an AWS account?

Set up AWS Config in the AWS account. Use a managed rule for Resource Type EC2::Instance that returns a compliance failure if the custom tag is not applied on the EBS volume attached to the instance. Configure a remediation action that uses a custom AWS Systems Manager Automation documents (runbooks) to apply the custom tag with predefined backup frequency to all non-compliant EBS volumes
