question 132

Multiple Choice

The host must be available at all times outside of a scheduled maintenance window, and needs to receive the latest operating system updates within 3 days of release. What should be done to manage the host with the LEAST amount of administrative effort?

• A) Run the host in a single-instance AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment. Configure the environment with a custom AMI to use a hardened machine image from AWS Marketplace. Apply system updates with AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager.

• C) Run the host in an Auto Scaling group with a minimum and maximum instance count of 1. Use a hardened machine image from AWS Marketplace. Apply system updates with AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager.
• D) Run the host in AWS OpsWorks Stacks. Use a Chief recipe to harden the AMI during instance launch. Use an AWS Lambda scheduled event to run the Upgrade Operating System stack command to apply system updates.
