CHAPTER 1 EXAM WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Which of the following is the correct endpoint address for an EC2 instance
running in the AWS Ireland region?
A. compute.eu-central-i.amazonaws.com
B. ec2.eu-central-l.amazonaws.com
C. elasticcomputecloud.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com
D. ec2.eu-west-l.amazonaws.com - CORRECT-ANSWERSD. EC2 endpoints will
always start with an ec2 prefix followed by the region designation (eu-west-1
in the case of Ireland).
What does the term availability zone refer to in AWS documentation?
A. One or more isolated physical data centers within an AWS region
B. All the hardware resources within a single region
C. A single network subnet used by resources within a single region
D. A single isolated server room within a data center - CORRECT-ANSWERSA.
An availability zone is an isolated physical data center within an AWS region.
Regions are geographic areas that contain multiple availability zones,
subnets are IP address blocks that can be used within a zone to organize
your networked resources, and there can be multiple data centers within an
availability zone.
Which AWS tool lets you organize your EC2 instances and configure their
network connec¬tivity and access control?
A. Load Balancing
B. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
C. Amazon CloudFront
D. AWS endpoints - CORRECT-ANSWERSB. VPCs are virtualized network
environments where you can control the connectivity of your EC2 (and RDS,
etc.) infrastructure. Load Balancing routes incoming user requests among a
cluster of available servers, CloudFront maintains a network of end-points
where cached versions of your application data are stored to provide quicker
responses to user requests, and AWS endpoints are URIs that point to AWS
resources within your account.
