Amazon Exam DOP-C02 Topic 4 Question 23 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's DOP-C02 exam

Question #: 23
Topic #: 4

A DevOps engineer manages a web application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The instances run in an EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. The engineer needs to implement a deployment strategy that:

Launches a second fleet of instances with the same capacity as the original fleet.

Maintains the original fleet unchanged while the second fleet is launched.

Transitions traffic to the second fleet when the second fleet is fully deployed.

Terminates the original fleet automatically 1 hour after transition.

Which solution will satisfy these requirements?

AUse an AWS CloudFormation template with a retention policy for the ALB set to 1 hour. Update the Amazon Route 53 record to reflect the new ALB.

BUse two AWS Elastic Beanstalk environments to perform a blue/green deployment from the original environment to the new one. Create an application version lifecycle policy to terminate the original environment in 1 hour.

CUse AWS CodeDeploy with a deployment group configured with a blue/green deployment configuration Select the option Terminate the original instances in the deployment group with a waiting period of 1 hour.

DUse AWS Elastic Beanstalk with the configuration set to Immutable. Create an .ebextension using the Resources key that sets the deletion policy of the ALB to 1 hour, and deploy the application.

I'm not sure about the other options, but Option C with CodeDeploy and the blue/green configuration sounds pretty solid. Terminating the original instances after 1 hour is a nice touch.

Option B looks like the perfect solution to me. Using Elastic Beanstalk environments for blue/green deployment and a lifecycle policy to handle the original environment termination - that's exactly what the question asks for.

I'm not sure, I think option B could also work. Using Elastic Beanstalk for blue/green deployment with a lifecycle policy to terminate the original environment after 1 hour could be a good approach.

I agree with Bok. Option C seems like the most efficient way to handle the deployment strategy while ensuring the original fleet is terminated after the transition.

I think option C is the best solution. Using AWS CodeDeploy with blue/green deployment will allow for a smooth transition and automatic termination of the original fleet after 1 hour.

I'm not sure, I think option B could also work well with Elastic Beanstalk. It offers a blue/green deployment strategy which could be beneficial in this scenario.
