AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 98

A company must migrate its applications to AWS. The company is using Chef recipes for configuration management. The company wants to continue to use the existing Chef recipes after the applications are migrated to AWS.

What is the MOST operationally efficient solution that meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Use AWS CloudFormation to create an Amazon EC2 instance, install a Chef server, and add Chef recipes.
• B. Use AWS CloudFormation to create a stack and add layers for Chef recipes.
• C. Use AWS Elastic Beanstalk with the Docker platform to upload Chef recipes.
• D. Use AWS OpsWorks to create a stack and add layers with Chef recipes.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because AWS OpsWorks is designed to work directly with Chef, allowing you to manage your applications using existing Chef recipes efficiently. Options A and B involve setting up additional infrastructure that isn't necessary for Chef management, while option C does not utilize Chef in the most effective way for configuration management.
