AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 198

A SysOps Administrator wants to prevent Developers from accidentally terminating Amazon EC2 instances.
How can this be accomplished?

Answer options

• B. Use AWS Config to restrict EC2 termination
• C. Apply Amazon CloudWatch Events to prevent EC2 termination
• D. Enable termination protection on EC2 instances

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enabling termination protection on EC2 instances prevents them from being terminated accidentally. The other options, while related to management and monitoring, do not directly provide a mechanism to protect instances from termination by users.
