Question 1

Your company uses AWS CloudWatch Events to create custom metric filters for monitoring failed login attempts. A manager has asked you to send notifications whenever there's an abnormally high number of failed login attempts. What is the best approach to achieve this?

Correct Answer: Create a CloudWatch alarm and trigger an SNS notification

The best solution is to create a CloudWatch alarm, which allows you to monitor the metric filters and trigger a notification using Amazon SNS when the threshold is crossed. Other answers either require manual intervention or do not provide the required functionality.

Question 2

A customer runs an e-commerce website with the backend hosted on Lambda. During a flash sale, the customer receives a sudden spike in traffic, causing slow response times. Using AWS services, how can you gain insight into what is causing this performance issue?

Correct Answer: Use Amazon X-Ray to trace the requests and analyze performance issues

Amazon X-Ray allows you to trace and analyze service calls to identify performance bottlenecks and issues in your applications. Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service, and the other options do not focus on performance analysis.

Question 3

You have developed an application that uses AWS resources extensively. You need to track resource usage and resource API calls to ensure compliance with company policies. Which AWS solution should you use to accomplish this?

Correct Answer: Enable AWS CloudTrail to log API calls

AWS CloudTrail specifically tracks and logs the API calls made to the resources in your account, making it ideal for compliance tracking. Other options do not accurately provide the required information on resource API calls.
