Actual exam question for Amazon's DOP-C02 exam

Question #: 17
Topic #: 6

An ecommerce company uses a large number of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) backed Amazon EC2 instances. To decrease manual work across all the instances, a DevOps engineer is tasked with automating restart actions when EC2 instance retirement events are scheduled.

How can this be accomplished?

ACreate a scheduled Amazon EventBridge rule to run an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook that checks if any EC2 instances are scheduled for retirement once a week If the instance is scheduled for retirement the runbook will hibernate the instance

BEnable EC2Auto Recovery on all of the instances. Create an AWS Config rule to limit the recovery to occur during a maintenance window only

CReboot all EC2 instances during an approved maintenance window that is outside of standard business hours Set up Amazon CloudWatch alarms to send a notification in case any instance is failing EC2 instance status checks

DSet up an AWS Health Amazon EventBridge rule to run AWS Systems Manager Automation runbooks that stop and start the EC2 instance when a retirement scheduled event occurs.

B could work, but limiting recovery to a maintenance window might not be ideal.

Wait, can you really automate that with EventBridge? Sounds too good to be true.

I recall that AWS Health can provide insights into instance status, so option D seems like a solid approach. However, I wonder if there are any limitations on how quickly the automation can respond to those events.

I think option A could work, but I'm a bit confused about how often the runbook should check for retirement events. Weekly seems too infrequent for something that could happen unexpectedly.

I practiced a similar question about automating EC2 instance management, and I feel like enabling EC2 Auto Recovery could be useful. But I'm not sure if it applies to scheduled retirement events specifically.

I remember studying about AWS EventBridge and how it can trigger actions based on events. I think option D sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best choice.

Whoa, this is a tricky one. There are a lot of moving parts to consider, like CloudWatch alarms, maintenance windows, and EventBridge rules. I better take my time and really think this through.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between the options here. I'll need to carefully read through each one and think about the pros and cons of each approach.

Cost is always a concern for customers, but I don't think that should be the focus when trying to upsell. The goal is to demonstrate value, not just talk about price. I'm leaning towards B or A as the better options here.

I feel like the directory access feature was important for remote users too, but I'm leaning towards option A being the correct answer overall.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know the Camunda services are important, but I can't recall the differences between them. I'll have to review my notes before answering this one.

This seems straightforward - I think modifying a network security group (NSG) to allow HTTP traffic to VM1 would be the simplest solution.
