A company has a policy that all EC2 instances must have specific security patches applied. Currently, the patching process is manual and often delayed. The company wants to automate the patching process while ensuring that the instances are patched in a controlled manner. What is the best approach?

Grant all developers access to patch instances on demand.

Use AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager to automate the patching process.

Use AWS Config to automatically patch instances.

Create a script that patches all instances immediately and run it manually.

What is a primary benefit of automating infrastructure deployment with Infrastructure as Code?

It eliminates the need for security groups

It reduces human error by providing consistent, repeatable deployments

It guarantees that deployments are always free

It removes the need for monitoring

A company has a multi-tier application. The front-end web tier and the back-end database are tightly coupled. A failure in the database causes the entire application to become unavailable. The company wants to limit the impact of a database failure. What should the company do?

Place the web tier and database in the same Availability Zone.

Create a manual backup of the database daily.

Increase the size of the database instance.

Make the application more resilient by using a queue between the web tier and the database.

A company runs a batch processing application that processes large files. The workload is unpredictable and can have sudden, short-lived spikes. The company has a strict budget and wants to minimize costs. The application is fault-tolerant and can be restarted. Which compute strategy is the most cost-effective?

Use On-Demand EC2 instances with Auto Scaling.

Use Reserved Instances for the entire workload.

Use Spot Instances with a mix of On-Demand instances to ensure capacity.

Use AWS Lambda for the batch processing.
