A DevOps Engineer at a startup cloud-based gaming company has the task formalizing deployment strategies. The strategies must meet the following requirements:
Use standard Git commands, such as git clone and git push for the code repository.
Management tools should maximize the use of platform solutions where possible.
Deployment packages must be immutable and in the form of Docker images.
How can the Engineer meet these requirements?
A retail company is currently hosting a Java-based application in its on-premises data center. Management wants the DevOps Engineer to move this application to
AWS. Requirements state that while keeping high availability, infrastructure management should be as simple as possible. Also, during deployments of new application versions, while cost is an important metric, the Engineer needs to ensure that at least half of the fleet is available to handle user traffic.
What option requires the LEAST amount of management overhead to meet these requirements?
A company runs a three-tier web application in its production environment, which is built on a single AWS CloudFormation template made up of Amazon EC2 instances behind an ELB Application Load Balancer. The instances run in an EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. Data is stored in an
Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB instance with read replicas. Amazon Route 53 manages the application's public DNS record.
A DevOps Engineer must create a workflow to mitigate a failed software deployment by rolling back changes in the production environment when a software cutover occurs for new application software.
What steps should the Engineer perform to meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of downtime?
A company has built a web service that runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) the company has deployed the application in us-east-1 Amazon Route 53 provides an external DNS that routes traffic from example.com to the application, created with appropriate health checks.
The company has deployed a second environment for the application in eu-west-1 the company wants traffic to be routed to whichever environment results m the best response time for each user. If there is an outage in one Region, traffic should be directed to the other environment.
Which configuration will achieve this requirements?
A DevOps Engineer has several legacy applications that all generate different log formats. The Engineer must standardize the formats before writing them to Amazon S3 for querying and analysis.
How can this requirement be met at the LOWEST cost?
You are responsible for your company's large multi-tiered Windows-based web application running on Amazon EC2 instances situated behind a load balancer. While reviewing metrics, you've started noticing an upwards trend for slow customer page load time. Your manager has asked you to come up with a solution to ensure that customer load time is not affected by too many requests per second. Which technique would you use to solve this issue?
You have an application running a specific process that is critical to the application's functionality, and have added the health check process to your Auto Scaling Group. The instances are showing healthy but the application itself is not working as it should. What could be the issue with the health check, since it is still showing the instances as healthy.
A Security team requires all Amazon EBS volumes that are attached to an Amazon EC2 instance to have AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) encryption enabled. If encryption is not enabled, the company's policy requires the EBS volume to be detached and deleted. A DevOps Engineer must automate the detection and deletion of unencrypted EBS volumes. Which method should the Engineer use to accomplish this with the LEAST operational effort?
