AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 404

A SysOps Administrator wants to automate the process of configuration, deployment, and management of Amazon EC2 instances using Chef or Puppet.
Which AWS service will satisfy the requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• B. AWS CloudFormation
• C. AWS OpsWorks
• D. AWS Config

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS OpsWorks is a configuration management service that provides managed instances of Chef and Puppet, allowing users to automate how servers are configured, deployed, and managed. AWS CloudFormation and AWS Elastic Beanstalk do not natively use Chef or Puppet as their primary configuration engines, while AWS Config is used for resource compliance and auditing rather than server configuration management.
