Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 599 discussion

From https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-outposts-high-availability-design/aws-outposts-high-availability-design.html With Outposts, you are responsible for providing resilient power and network connectivity to the Outpost racks to meet your availability requirements for workloads running on Outposts. You are responsible for the physical security and access controls of the data center environment. You must provide sufficient power, space, and cooling to keep the Outpost operational and network connections to connect the Outpost back to the Region. Since Outpost capacity is finite and determined by the size and number of racks AWS installs at your site, you must decide how much EC2, EBS, and S3 on Outposts capacity you need to run your initial workloads, accommodate future growth, and to provide extra capacity to mitigate server failures and maintenance events.

My exam is tomorrow. thank you all for the answers and links.

The activities that are the responsibility of the company's operational team when using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) clusters and Amazon RDS DB instances on AWS Outposts are: Providing resilient power and network connectivity to the Outposts racks. Physical security and access controls of the data center environment. Physical maintenance of Outposts components. The solutions architect is responsible for the following activities: Managing the virtualization hypervisor, storage systems, and the AWS services that run on Outposts. Ensuring the availability of the Outposts infrastructure, including the power supplies, servers, and networking equipment within the Outposts racks. Providing extra capacity for Amazon ECS clusters to mitigate server failures and maintenance events.

F: "If there is no additional capacity on the Outpost, the instance remains in the stopped state. The Outpost owner can try to free up used capacity or request additional capacity for the Outpost so that the migration can complete." Not D: "Equipment within the Outposts rack" is AWS' responsibility, you're not supposed to touch that Not E: "When the AWS installation team arrives on site, they will replace the unhealthy hosts, switches, or rack elements"

From <https://aws.amazon.com/outposts/rack/faqs/ : Your site must support the basic power, networking and space requirements to host an Outpost ===> A From <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/applying-security-practices-to-network-workload-for-csps/the-shared-responsibility-model.html : In AWS Outposts, the customer takes the responsibility of securing the physical infrastructure to host the AWS Outposts equipment in their own data centers. ===> C

Only A and C are correct. AWS is responsible for the hardware and software that run on AWS Outposts. This is a fully managed infrastructure service. AWS manages security patches, updates firmware, and maintains the Outpost equipment. AWS also monitors the performance, health, and metrics for your Outpost and determines whether any maintenance is required. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/outposts/latest/userguide/outpost-maintenance.html

The role that physical companies will play is ACE.

E is wrong If there is a need to perform physical maintenance, AWS will reach out to schedule a time to visit your site. https://aws.amazon.com/outposts/rack/faqs/#:~:text=As%20AWS%20Outposts%20rack%20runs,the%20Outpost%20for%20compliance%20certification.

ACE AWS is responsible for the availability of the Outposts infrastructure including the power supplies, servers, and networking equipment within the AWS Outposts racks.

I choose ACD

I think ACD is correct

You get to choose the capacity. F

A, C and D

ACD https://docs.aws.amazon.com/outposts/latest/userguide/outpost-maintenance.html

I think because of the shared responsibility model it is ACD

A and C are obviously right. D is wrong because "within the Outpost racks". Between E and F, E is wrong because (https://aws.amazon.com/outposts/rack/faqs/) says "If there is a need to perform physical maintenance, AWS will reach out to schedule a time to visit your site. AWS may replace a given module as appropriate but will not perform any host or network switch servicing on customer premises." So, choosing F.
