AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 770

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) both provision Amazon EC2 instances directly inside the customer's AWS account, giving the customer full administrative and root-level access to the underlying operating systems. In contrast, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon Relational Database Service, and Amazon Elastic Cache are fully managed services where AWS handles the underlying infrastructure, meaning customers cannot log into or administratively manage the host EC2 instances.
