AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 103

A user has launched an EBS backed EC2 instance. The user has rebooted the instance. Which of the below mentioned statements is not true with respect to the reboot action?

Answer options

• A. The private and public address remains the same
• B. The Elastic IP remains associated with the instance
• C. The volume is preserved
• D. The instance runs on a new host computer

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because rebooting an EC2 instance does not cause it to migrate to a new host; it stays on the same physical hardware. The other options are true as the private and public IP addresses, Elastic IP association, and EBS volume remain unchanged during a reboot.
