AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 700

Which instance characteristics are required if an Administrator wants to ensure use of the Amazon EC2 auto-recovery option? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The instance only has EBS volumes.
• B. The instance has EC2 Instance Store root volumes.
• C. The tenancy attribute is set to ג€defaultג€ (shred tenancy).
• D. The tenancy attribute is set to ג€Dedicatedג€.
• E. The instance type belongs to the d2, i2 or i3 instance type.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

To enable Amazon EC2 auto-recovery, the instance must be backed solely by Amazon EBS volumes and have its tenancy attribute set to 'default' (shared). Instances with EC2 Instance Store volumes or those configured with Dedicated tenancy do not support standard auto-recovery. Consequently, instance types like d2, i2, or i3 that use local NVMe/SSD instance store volumes are also ineligible.
