There Is a Very Serious Outage at AWS

question 439

Multiple Choice

There is a very serious outage at AWS. EC2 is not affected, but your EC2 instance deployment scripts stopped working in the region with the outage. What might be the issue?

• A) The AWS Console is down, so your CLI commands do not work.
• B) S3 is unavailable, so you can't create EBS volumes from a snapshot you use to deploy new volumes.
• C) AWS turns off the <code>DeployCode</code> API call when there are major outages, to protect from system floods.
• D) None of the other answers make sense. If EC2 is not affected, it must be some other issue.
