Difficulty: MediumMethods of Deploying and Operating in AWS

A company needs to implement two new operational workflows in its AWS environment:
1. An administrator needs to write shell scripts to automate daily operational tasks, such as stopping underutilized EC2 instances, from their local terminal.
2. A developer needs to integrate AWS service calls directly into a new custom Java application to upload files to Amazon S3.

Which of the following AWS tools should the company use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. AWS Command Line Interface (CLI)Answer
  2. AWS Software Development Kit (SDK)Answer
  3. C
    AWS CloudFormation
  4. D
    Amazon CloudWatch
  5. E
    AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Roles

Answer

AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) and AWS Software Development Kit (SDK)
The correct choices are the tools that map to scripting and application integration respectively. The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) enables administrators to write shell scripts to automate tasks from a command line. The AWS Software Development Kit (SDK) provides developers with language-specific libraries (such as for Java) to integrate AWS service calls programmatically into their application code.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the correct tool for the first requirement (writing shell scripts to automate command-line administrative tasks from a local terminal).
The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is selected because it enables direct interaction with AWS services via commands in a local shell terminal and supports scripting.
The AWS CLI is built for CLI-based scripting and automation.
2
Identify the correct tool for the second requirement (integrating AWS API calls directly into a custom Java application).
The AWS Software Development Kit (SDK) is selected because it provides language-specific APIs, code libraries, and tools to construct programmatic interactions within custom software.
AWS SDKs are designed specifically to integrate AWS service operations directly into application code bases.

Key Concept

AWS offers multiple interfaces to interact with services, including the AWS CLI for terminal-based scripting and automation, and AWS SDKs for programmatic application integration.
