region
d. Buckets can be transferred from one account to another through API

17. Questão 05 / 10

a. No, all EBS volume is stored in a single Availability Zone
b. Yes, EBS volume has multiple copies so it should be fine
c. Depends on how it is setup

(select multiple if more than one is true)?
a. Start up EC2 instances when CPU utilization is above threshold
b. Release EC2 instances when CPU utilization is below threshold
c. Increase the instance size when utilization is above threshold
d. Add more Relational Database Service (RDS) read replicas when utilization
is above threshold

19. Questão 07 / 10
Which of the following benefits does adding Multi-AZ
deployment in RDS provide (choose multiple if more
than one is true)?
a. MultiAZ deployed database can tolerate an Availability Zone failure
b. Decrease latencies if app servers accessing database are in multiple
