Amazon Exam DOP-C01 Topic 3 Question 83 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's DOP-C01 exam

Question #: 83
Topic #: 3

A company is using tagging to allocate AWS costs. The company has Amazon EC2 instances that run in Auto Scaling groups. The Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are attached to the EC2 instances are being created without the appropriate cost center tags. A DevOps engineer must ensure that the new EBS volumes are properly tagged.

What is the MOST efficient solution that meets this requirement?

ACreate a lifecycle hook on the autoscaling:EC2_INSTANCE_TERMINATING instance state that attaches the cost center tags to the EBS volumes.

BUpdate the Auto Scaling group launch template to include the cost center tags for EBS volumes.

CUpdate the Auto Scaling group to include the cost center tags. Set the PropagateAtLaunch property to true.

DUse Tag Editor to search for EBS volumes that are missing the tags and to add the cost center tags to the volumes.

True, the lifecycle hook could work, but it feels a bit hacky to me. I'd rather have the tags applied upfront, you know? Plus, the launch template option is more proactive and less reactive.

But what about the lifecycle hook option? Wouldn't that also work by attaching the tags just before the instances are terminated? That seems like a pretty efficient solution too.

Yeah, using Tag Editor for searching and adding tags seems like a straightforward approach.

I think updating the Auto Scaling group launch template or group directly might be more efficient in the long run.

The lifecycle hook option could work too, as it ensures tags are attached just before termination.

I agree, updating the launch template is probably the best option. It ensures that the tags are applied consistently and automatically, without the need for any manual intervention. Plus, it's less error-prone than the other options.

Hmm, this question seems to test our understanding of tagging and Auto Scaling groups. I think the most efficient solution here would be to update the Auto Scaling group launch template to include the cost center tags for the EBS volumes. That way, any new instances and their attached volumes will automatically have the correct tags.
