Amazon Exam PAS-C01 Topic 10 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's PAS-C01 exam

Question #: 29
Topic #: 10

An SAP solutions architect is using AWS Systems Manager Distributor to install the AWS Data Provider for SAP on production SAP application servers and SAP HANA database servers The SAP application servers and the SAP HANA database servers are running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

The SAP solutions architect chooses instances manually m Systems Manager Distributor and schedules installation. The installation fails with an access and authorization error related to Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon EC2 instances. There is no error related to AWS connectivity.

What should the SAP solutions architect do to resolve the error?

AInstall the CloudWatch agent on the servers before installing the AWS Data Provider tor SAP

BDownload the AWS Data Provider for SAP installation package from AWS Marketplace Use an operating system super user to install the agent manually or through a script

CCreate an IAM role Attach the appropriate policy to the role Attach the role to the appropriate EC2 instances

DWait until Systems Manager Agent is fully installed and ready to use on the EC2 instances Use Systems Manager Patch Manager to perform the installation

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

It's likely that the instances currently lack the necessary permissions to interact with CloudWatch and EC2. By creating an IAM role with the appropriate permissions and attaching it to the instances, the SAP solutions architect can grant the necessary permissions to the instances to complete the installation.

I see your point, Mitsue. However, I believe the best approach would be D) Wait until Systems Manager Agent is fully installed and then use Patch Manager for installation.

I would go with B) Download the AWS Data Provider for SAP installation package from AWS Marketplace and use an operating system super user to install it manually.

I agree with Elliott. It makes sense to set up the correct permissions for CloudWatch and EC2 instances.

But what if the issue is related to Amazon CloudWatch and EC2 instances? I still think installing the CloudWatch agent is the best solution.

I disagree, I believe creating an IAM role and attaching it to the EC2 instances is the way to go.

I think the architect should install the CloudWatch agent first.

Haha, good one! But seriously, I think C is the right answer here. The IAM role is the most straightforward solution to the access and authorization problem.

I agree with Rolland. The error message clearly indicates an access and authorization issue, so the IAM role is the way to go. Plus, it's a best practice to use managed IAM roles instead of hardcoding credentials.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. What if the CloudWatch agent is not properly installed? Maybe we should try A first, just to be safe, and then move on to the IAM role if that doesn't work.

This question seems pretty straightforward. The issue is with access and authorization, likely related to the IAM permissions. I think the answer is C - we need to create an IAM role with the appropriate policy and attach it to the EC2 instances.
