AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 4

A SysOps administrator is deploying an application on 10 Amazon EC2 instances. The application must be highly available. The instances must be placed on distinct underlying hardware.
What should the SysOps administrator do to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Launch the instances into a cluster placement group in a single AWS Region.
• B. Launch the instances into a partition placement group in multiple AWS Regions.
• C. Launch the instances into a spread placement group in multiple AWS Regions.
• D. Launch the instances into a spread placement group in a single AWS Region.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a spread placement group allows EC2 instances to be distributed across distinct hardware, which enhances availability. Option A does not meet the requirement for distinct hardware, while options B and C involve multiple regions, which is unnecessary for the specified task.
