A DevOps engineer has automated a web service deployment by using AWS CodePipeline with the following steps:
1) An AWS CodeBuild project compiles the deployment artifact and runs unit tests.
2) An AWS CodeDeploy deployment group deploys the web service to Amazon EC2 instances in the staging environment.
3) A CodeDeploy deployment group deploys the web service to EC2 instances in the production environment. The quality assurance (QA) team requests permission to inspect the build artifact before the deployment to the
production environment occurs. The QA team wants to run an internal penetration testing tool to conduct
manual tests. The tool will be invoked by a REST API call.
Which combination of actions should the DevOps engineer take to fulfill this request? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:AE
A company updated the AWS Cloud Formation template for a critical business application. The stack update process failed due to an error in the updated template and AWS CloudFormation automatically began the stack rollback process Later a DevOps engineer discovered that the application was still unavailable and that the stack was in the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED state.
Which combination of actions should the DevOps engineer perform so that the stack rollback can complete successfully? (Select TWO.)
Correct Answer:CD
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/cloudformation/continue-update-rollback.html For a specified stack that is in the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED state, continues rolling it back to the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state. Depending on the cause of the failure, you can manually fix the error and continue the rollback. By continuing the rollback, you can return your stack to a working state (the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state), and then try to update the stack again.
A company has an organization in AWS Organizations. The organization includes workload accounts that contain enterprise applications. The company centrally manages users from an operations account. No users can be created in the workload accounts. The company recently added an operations team and must provide the operations team members with administrator access to each workload account.
Which combination of actions will provide this access? (Choose three.)
Correct Answer:BDE

A company uses AWS Secrets Manager to store a set of sensitive API keys that an AWS Lambda function uses. When the Lambda function is invoked, the Lambda function retrieves the API keys and makes an API call to an external service. The Secrets Manager secret is encrypted with the default AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key.
A DevOps engineer needs to update the infrastructure to ensure that only the Lambda function's execution role can access the values in Secrets Manager. The solution must apply the principle of least privilege.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
Correct Answer:AD
A company has developed a serverless web application that is hosted on AWS. The application consists of Amazon S3. Amazon API Gateway, several AWS Lambda functions, and an Amazon RDS for MySQL database. The company is using AWS CodeCommit to store the source code. The source code is a combination of AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) templates and Python code.
A security audit and penetration test reveal that user names and passwords for authentication to the database are hardcoded within CodeCommit repositories. A DevOps engineer must implement a solution to automatically detect and prevent hardcoded secrets.
What is the MOST secure solution that meets these requirements?
Correct Answer:B
