Answer: B
When the Lambda function's execution role doesn't have the necessary permissions to create log streams or log groups in CloudWatch Logs, the logs won't be generated or stored.

A company observes that a newly created Amazon CloudWatch alarm is not transitioning out of the INSUFFICIENT_DATA state. The alarm was created to track the mem_used_percent metric from an Amazon EC2 instance that is deployed in a public subnet. A review of the EC2 instance shows that the unified CloudWatch agent is installed and is running. However, the metric is not available in CloudWatch. A SysOps administrator needs to implement a solution to resolve this problem. Which solution will meet these requirements?
Answer: B
A company is uploading important files as objects to Amazon S3. The company needs to be informed if an object is corrupted during the upload. What should a SysOps administrator do to meet this requirement?
Answer: B
Another way to verify the integrity of your object after uploading is to provide an MD5 digest of the object when you upload it. If you calculate the MD5 digest for your object, you can provide the digest with the PUT command by using the Content-MD5 header.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?

A company that uses AWS Organizations recently implemented AWS Control Towerю The company now needs to centralize identity management.

Which prerequisites must the SysOps administrator have so that the SysOps administrator can connect to the external IdP? (Choose two.)
Answer: AB
Under Configure external identity provider, do the following: Under Service provider metadata, choose Download metadata file to download the metadata file and save it on your system. The IAM Identity Center SAML metadata file is required by your external identity provider. Under Identity provider metadata, choose Choose file, and locate the metadata file that you downloaded from your external identity provider. Then upload the file. This metadata file contains the necessary public x509 certificate used to trust messages that are sent from the IdP.

A SysOps administrator is attempting to deploy resources by using an AWS CloudFormation template. An Amazon EC2 instance that is defined in the template fails to launch and produces an InsufficientInstanceCapacity error. Which actions should the SysOps administrator take to resolve this error? (Choose two.)
Answer: BC
If you're launching an instance, submit a new request without specifying an Availability Zone. If you're launching an instance, submit a new request using a different instance type (which you can resize at a later stage). For more information, see Change the instance type. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/troubleshooting-launch.html#troubleshooting-launch-capacity

A company recently moved its server infrastructure to Amazon EC2 instances. The company wants to use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to track the instance logs. What should a SysOps administrator do to meet this requirement in compliance with AWS best practices?
Answer: B
A company uses AWS CloudFormation to deploy its infrastructure. The company recently retired an application. A cloud operations engineer initiates CloudFormation stack deletion, and the stack gets stuck in DELETE_FAILED status. A SysOps administrator discovers that the stack had deployed a security group. The security group is referenced by other security groups in the environment. The SysOps administrator needs to delete the stack without affecting other applications. Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient manner?
Answer: C
Option B is incorrect because Change Sets allow you to see how your proposed changes might impact your running resources before implementing them, it will not prevent the error when deleting the stack. Option D is incorrect because Drift Detection identifies stack resources whose actual configuration differs from their template, it does not allow the SG to be retained when deleting the stack. Option A works, but is extremely inefficient. Option C is correct. E.G. using the CLI command $ aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name my-stack --retain-resources mysg1 https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/cloudformation-stack-delete-failed

A company needs to monitor its website’s availability to end users.

The monitoring must provide an accurate view of the user experience on the website. Which solution will meet these requirements?
Answer: C
Heartbeat scripts load the specified URL and store a screenshot of the page and an HTTP archive file (HAR file). They also store logs of accessed URLs. You can use the HAR files to view detailed performance data about the web pages. You can analyze the list of web requests and catch performance issues such as time to load for an item. If your canary uses the syn-nodejs-puppeteer-3.1 or later runtime version, you can use the heartbeat monitoring blueprint to monitor multiple URLs and see the status, duration, associated screenshots, and failure reason for each URL in the step summary of the canary run report.
