Chapter 4

Question 1 of 20

1

Because of a change in your web traffic, you realize that you need a larger instance size for
your web server. What is the best way to make this change?

Select one of the following:

  • Take a snapshot of your current instance, and use that as the basis for creating a new
    web server in the correct size.

  • Create a new Amazon Machine Image (AMI), and use that to spin up a new web server
    with the correct instance type.

  • Stop the instance, and then restart it with the correct instance type.

  • Assign an Elastic IP to the instance interface. Create a new instance with the right
    instance size. Reassign the Elastic IP from the old instance to the new instance.

Region that you want to be able to run in another AWS Region. What do you need to do in
order to accomplish that?
