AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 315

A company launched an Amazon EC2 instance with the latest Amazon Linux 2 Amazon Machine Image (AMI).

Which actions can a system administrator take to connect to the EC2 instance? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use Amazon EC2 Instance Connect.
• B. Use a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection.
• C. Use AWS Batch.
• D. Use AWS Systems Manager Session Manager.
• E. Use Amazon Connect.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Amazon EC2 Instance Connect and AWS Systems Manager Session Manager both provide secure, native methods to connect to Linux-based EC2 instances like Amazon Linux 2. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is designed for Windows instances, while AWS Batch is a containerized batch computing service and Amazon Connect is a cloud-based contact center service, making them incorrect for instance management.
