Under the AWS shared responsibility model, which of the following is an example of security in the AWS Cloud?
Managing edge locations
Physical security
Firewall configuration
Global infrastructure

A Cloud Practitioner is re-architecting a monolithic application. Which design principles for cloud architecture do AWS recommend? (Select TWO.)
*Implement manual scalability.
*Implement loose coupling.
*Use self-managed servers.
*Rely on individual components.
*Design for scalability.
Implementing loose coupling, design for scalability
Dependencies such as queuing systems, streaming systems, workflows, and load balancers are loosely coupled. Loose coupling helps isolate behavior of a component from other components that depend on it, increasing resiliency and agility
AWS recommend that you architect applications that scale horizontally to increase aggregate workload availability. This scaling should be automatic where possible.
According to the shared responsibility model, which security-related task is the responsibility of the customer?
*Maintaining server-side encryption.
*Securing servers and racks at AWS data centers.
*Maintaining firewall configurations at a hardware level.
*Maintaining physical networking configuration.
Maintaining server-side encryption
All client-side and server-side encryption is a responsibility of the customer using the AWS Cloud.
How can a company separate costs for storage, Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, and other AWS services by department?
*Add department-specific tags to each resource

The source S3 bucket owner must have the source and destination AWS Regions disabled for their account
S3 buckets configured for cross-region replication can be owned by a single AWS account or by different accounts
Replication enables automatic, asynchronous copying of objects across Amazon S3 buckets. Buckets that are configured for object replication can be owned by the same AWS account or by different accounts. You can copy objects between different AWS Regions or within the same Region.
