AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 207
A SysOps administrator creates a custom Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in the eu-west-2 Region and uses the AMI to launch Amazon EC2 instances. The SysOps administrator needs to use the same AMI to launch EC2 instances in two other Regions: us-east-1 and us-east-2.
What must the SysOps administrator do to use the custom AMI in the additional Regions?
Answer options
- A. Copy the AMI to the additional Regions.
- B. Make the AMI public in the Community AMIs section of the AWS Management Console.
- C. Share the AMI to the additional Regions. Assign the required access permissions.
- D. Copy the AMI to a new Amazon S3 bucket. Assign access permissions to the AMI for the additional Regions.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A because to use a custom AMI in different AWS Regions, you must copy the AMI to those Regions. Options B and C do not apply as they involve making the AMI public or sharing it, which does not enable usage in different Regions. Option D is incorrect as copying an AMI to an S3 bucket is not necessary for this scenario.
