AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 195

A SysOps Administrator launched an Amazon EC2 instance and received a message that the service limit was exceeded for that instance type. What action should the Administrator take to ensure that EC2 instances can be launched?

Answer options

• A. Use Amazon Inspector to trigger an alert when the limits are exceeded
• B. Use the AWS CLI to bypass the limits placed on the account
• C. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and adjust the limit values to launch new resources
• D. Open a case with AWS Support requesting an increase of the EC2 instance limit

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct action is to open a case with AWS Support to request an increase of the EC2 instance limit, as this is the proper procedure for exceeding service limits. Adjusting limit values directly in the console is not possible, and using the AWS CLI or Amazon Inspector does not resolve the limit issue for launching new instances.
