AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 727

Which services allow the customer to retain full administrative privileges of the underlying EC2 instances? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Amazon Elastic Map Reduce
• B. Elastic Load Balancing
• C. AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• D. Amazon Elasticache
• E. Amazon Relational Database service

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Amazon Elastic Map Reduce both provision Amazon EC2 instances directly into the customer's AWS account, allowing full root or administrator access to the underlying operating systems. Conversely, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon ElastiCache, and Amazon Relational Database Service are fully managed services where AWS handles the OS-level administration, restricting direct instance access to the customer.
