AW Storage Services

Daily Goal – Complete AWS Storage Services Challenge Labs; Complete Practice Exam #1

Challenge Lab #1 – Getting Started with Amazon Simple Storage Service

Scenario:

I am a system administrator for a company that is establishing a new AWS environment. I need to create a highly available website in the US-East (Ohio) region by using an S3 bucket. First, I will create a new S3 bucket, and then I will create a website. Next, I will upload the website to the S3 bucket, and then I will configure the website to allow public access. Next, I will create an S3 bucket to allow uploads, and then I will configure the bucket to allow files to be encrypted at rest and log all activity in the bucket. Finally, I need to ensure that a notification is sent to the admin when new files are added to the bucket.

Challenge Lab #2 – Configure Data Transfer and Storage Options for an S3 bucket

Scenario:

I am a system administrator for a company that is establishing a new Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. I need to configure data transfer and storage options. First, I will create a new Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. Next, I will enable transfer acceleration . Finally, I will classify stored files, and then I will configure file storage to use the most cost-effective storage tiers.

  1. Create an S3 bucket
  2. Enable Transfer acceleration
  3. Classify the Data
  4. Configure data lifecycle by using the S3 Glacier Flexible storage class

Challenge Lab #3 – Automate Snapshots by Using Data Lifecyle Manager  (DLM)

Scenario:

I am a SysOps Administrator responsible for an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. I need to configure automated snapshots of the Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes on my web servers. First, I will create tags for my volumes. Next, I will create an Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) lifecycle policy that uses an hourly schedule, and then I will verify that a snapshot was created. Finally, I will replace the root volume on a web server by using a snapshot.
You can use a Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) lifecycle policy to automate EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMI lifecycles without the need to manage complex scripts or manual snapshot cleanup procedures. You can use a snapshot to restore data in a variety of recovery scenarios. Lifecycle policies can be customized to meet both RPO and RTO objectives.

  1. Categorized snapshot targets by using tags.
  1. Created an EBS lifecycle policy that meets a one-hour RPO
  2. Verified the creation of a snapshot.
  3. Replaced a root volume with a snapshot created by a lifecycle policy.

Challenge Lab #4 – Configure Storage by Using EBS

Scenario:

I am a system administrator responsible for an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. I need to configure storage by using Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) to create a volume that I can attach to an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance. First, I will create an EBS volume. Next, I will modify the EBS volume. Finally, I will attach the EBS volume to an EC2 instance.

  1. Create an EBS volume
  2. Modified the EBS volume type and size
  3. Attached the EBS volume to an EC2 instance
