Question 1

Question
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?
Answer
  • 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.

Question 2

Question
You have configured a batch job on AWS Batch and you need it to complete. What should you do in order to make sure that the batch job completes?
Answer
  • Configure the pricing to be Spot pricing, but set the bid price at two times the On- Demand price for those instances.
  • Configure the pricing to be On-Demand.
  • Configure the pricing to be Spot pricing, but set the bid price for one-tenth of the On- Demand price for those instances.
  • There is nothing that you can do to guarantee completion of a batch job.
  • Configure the number of instances needed for the job as two times what is actually needed.

Question 3

Question
With AWS Batch, what values are you allowed to specify when configuring your instances?
Answer
  • Minimum number of Virtual CPUs (vCPUs), maximum number of vCPUs, and desired number of vCPUs
  • Minimum and maximum number of vCPUs
  • Desired number of vCPUs
  • You are not able to specify the number of vCPUs. AWS will assign the number based on current demand and availability.
