Full set: 370 questions
Answer options
A: AWS OpsWorks Correct answer
B: AWS CloudFormation
C: AWS Storage Gateway Correct answer
D: Application Load Balancer
E: Amazon Cognito
Correct Answer:
A. AWS OpsWorks; C. AWS Storage Gateway
Explanation

AWS provides several services designed for hybrid cloud environments, allowing them to be used with on-premises servers. AWS OpsWorks can manage on-premises servers by installing an agent, enabling automated configuration management with Chef or Puppet. AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that connects an on-premises software appliance with cloud-based storage. This appliance is deployed on a server within the company's data center to provide seamless integration with AWS storage services.

Why Incorrect

B. AWS CloudFormation is a service for provisioning and managing AWS resources. It does not run on or directly manage on-premises servers.
D. Application Load Balancer is a fully managed AWS service that operates within an AWS region and cannot be deployed on-premises.
E. Amazon Cognito is a managed identity service that runs in the AWS Cloud. On-premises applications can integrate with it, but the service itself does not run on-premises.
