Amazon Exam DOP-C01 Topic 6 Question 87 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's DOP-C01 exam

Question #: 87
Topic #: 6

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.

I agree with Della, option C seems like the most effective solution.

Because setting the PropagateAtLaunch property to true ensures that all future EBS volumes will have the cost center tags.

But wouldn't updating the Auto Scaling group launch template to include the cost center tags be more efficient in the long run?

I think using Tag Editor to search for EBS volumes that are missing the tags is the way to go. It's quick and direct.

I think the most efficient solution would be to update the Auto Scaling group to include the cost center tags and set PropagateAtLaunch to true.

I can see the appeal of that, but I'm still not convinced it's the most efficient. What if we have a lot of existing volumes that need to be tagged?

That's a good idea, but it feels a bit manual. I'm still leaning towards the launch template solution. It's the most foolproof way to ensure all new volumes are properly tagged.

True, but then we'd have to remember to set the PropagateAtLaunch property. That could be easy to forget.

Ooh, good point. We definitely don't want to deal with that. Maybe option D is the way to go - using the Tag Editor to find and fix the untagged volumes.
