Question 130
A professional architect is reviewing two independent workstreams. Requirement A: A platform service incurs shared transfer charges that cannot be assigned to consuming product teams. Requirement B: Hundreds of EC2 hosts need scheduled patch windows with evidence of patch compliance and approved maintenance boundaries. Which TWO recommendations jointly satisfy requirements A and B?
Explanation
Correct Answers
This action meets the independently stated requirement B: Hundreds of EC2 hosts need scheduled patch windows with evidence of patch compliance and approved maintenance boundaries. Systems Manager supports fleet patching with centralized baselines and maintenance windows. A direct acceptance check is: Compliance reports show applied baselines and chosen hosts patched only during approved windows.
This action meets the independently stated requirement A: A platform service incurs shared transfer charges that cannot be assigned to consuming product teams. CUR data and explicit allocation logic improve auditable cost attribution. A direct acceptance check is: Chargeback results trace shared spend to accounted requests or accountable service consumers.
Incorrect Answers
This action targets a different technical need: A corporate SOC needs one prioritized security findings view across enabled security services and Regions. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. Security Hub consolidates security posture and findings from participating services; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
This action targets a different technical need: Production maintenance requires an explicit approval and tracked change record before automation updates EC2 systems. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. Controlled automation separates approval from execution and preserves traceability; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
This action targets a different technical need: Finance collects optimizer suggestions from Compute Optimizer, Trusted Advisor and cost dashboards but counts the same recommendation more than once. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. Consolidated savings recommendations should not be summed blindly across sources; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
