Module 4 Quiz

Graded Assignment

1. During an interview with a prospective client, an AWS Cloud consultant is being asked to explain what a cloud consultant’s duties are when they work with a customer. Which activities would a cloud consultant be responsible for? (Select THREE.)

  • Work with the customer to architect a solution. ✅
  • Help keep the project on track. ✅
  • Participate in a 24/7 on-call customer support rotation.
  • Upskill the team by teaching them about the AWS services that are used. ✅
  • Provide input about hiring and firing decisions on the team.
  • Manage office supplies in the building.

Explanation:
Cloud consultants are involved in both the technical and collaborative aspects of a cloud project.

  • They design solutions tailored to business needs.
  • They guide the project, ensuring it stays aligned with objectives and timelines.
  • They often educate and enable teams to use AWS services efficiently.

2. A cloud consultant is contracted to work at a business. They were asked to help analyze a recent problem that the company encountered, and then propose a solution for it. Which source of information should the cloud consultant base their solution on?

  • Instinct
  • Data ✅
  • A colleague’s opinion
  • A blog article on a technical website

Explanation:
A cloud consultant should always rely on data-driven decision-making.
This ensures that the solutions are objective, scalable, and aligned with measurable business outcomes.

  • Instinct and opinion are subjective and unreliable.
  • Blog articles may help with ideas, but decisions should be grounded in the company’s actual data.

3. A cloud consultant is working with a customer that is trying to migrate a public web application to AWS. The consultant’s manager has asked the consultant to divide the project into deliverables. Which deliverable has the appropriate level of complexity for this project?

  • Migrating the entire data center to AWS
  • Logging in to the AWS Management Console
  • Creating an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance and deploying a copy of the website to the instance ✅
  • Resetting the IT administrator’s AWS password

Explanation:
This option reflects a clear, actionable task that directly supports the goal of migrating a web app. It is appropriately scoped.

  • Migrating the entire data center is too broad.
  • Logging in or resetting a password is too simple and not a deliverable.

4. A cloud consultant is working on developing their personal brand and creating more professional connections in the IT industry. Which resources are appropriate for creating professional connections and networking? (Select THREE.)

  • LinkedIn ✅
  • A local DevOps meetup ✅
  • The AWS re:Invent conference ✅
  • A grocery store
  • A gym
  • A movie theater

Explanation:
All three of these options are purpose-built for networking and professional development in tech:

  • LinkedIn is the go-to platform for professional connections.
  • DevOps meetups are ideal for local networking and learning.
  • AWS re:Invent is a major global conference where cloud professionals gather.

The other options (grocery store, gym, movie theater) are not professional networking environments.

5. A cloud consultant has been working in the role for the past 3 years and understands the basic details of the AWS Cloud, the AWS Well-Architected Framework, and how to work with core AWS services. They recently engaged their manager to help them create a career development plan. The manager suggested that the consultant get an AWS Certification to highlight their AWS skillset. Which certification should the consultant prepare for?

  • AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate ✅
  • AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty
  • AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional

Explanation:
Since the consultant already has:

  • 3 years of AWS experience
  • Familiarity with AWS services and the Well-Architected Framework

…they are beyond beginner level, so:

  • The Cloud Practitioner cert is too basic.
  • Advanced Networking and DevOps Engineer – Professional are advanced-level and require deeper specialization and more experience.

The Solutions Architect – Associate is the perfect next step to validate architectural and deployment knowledge at the associate level.
