Q719. A company wants to use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) clusters and Amazon RDS DB instances to build and run a payment processing application. The company will run the application in its on- premises data center for compliance purposes.A solutions architect wants to use AWS Outposts as part of the solution. The solutions architect is working with the company's operational team to build the application.Which activities are the responsibility of the company's operational team? (Choose three.)

• A. Providing resilient power and network connectivity to the Outposts racks ✓
• B. Managing the virtualization hypervisor, storage systems, and the AWS services that run on Outposts
• C. Physical security and access controls of the data center environment ✓
• D. Availability of the Outposts infrastructure including the power supplies, servers, and networking equipment within the Outposts racks
• E. Physical maintenance of Outposts components ✓
• F. Providing extra capacity for Amazon ECS clusters to mitigate server failures and maintenance events

Correct Answer: A. Providing resilient power and network connectivity to the Outposts racks, C. Physical security and access controls of the data center environment, E. Physical maintenance of Outposts components

Explanation

The responsibilities of the company's operational team when using AWS Outposts as part of the solution for running a payment processing application in the on-premises data center are:A. Providing resilient power and network connectivity to the Outposts racks: The operational team is responsible for ensuring that the Outposts racks have reliable power and network connectivity. This includes managing power supply, backup power, and network infrastructure to ensure the availability of the Outposts racks.C. Physical security and access controls of the data center environment: The operational team is responsible for the physical security of the on-premises data center, including access controls, surveillance, and monitoring. They need to ensure that the data center environment is secure and protected from unauthorized access.E. Physical maintenance of Outposts components: The operational team is responsible for the physical maintenance of the Outposts components, including hardware maintenance, repairs, and replacement of faulty components. This includes activities such as replacing failed servers, upgrading networking equipment, and ensuring proper cooling and ventilation.Note: The operational team may also be responsible for managing the virtualization hypervisor, storage systems, and the AWS services that run on Outposts (option B), as they have the expertise and control over the on-premises data center environment. However, the responsibility for managing these aspects can be shared with AWS or an AWS Partner, depending on the specific arrangement and support agreement.Options D and F are not the responsibility of the company's operational team:D. Availability of the Outposts infrastructure: AWS is responsible for the availability and maintenance of the Outposts infrastructure, including power supplies, servers, and networking equipment within the Outposts racks.F. Providing extra capacity for Amazon ECS clusters: Scaling and providing extra capacity for Amazon ECS clusters is typically handled by the AWS infrastructure. The operational team may need to collaborate with the solutions architect to plan for capacity requirements, but the actual provisioning and scaling of the ECS clusters are managed by AWS.Therefore, the activities that are the responsibility of the company's operational team are:A. Providing resilient power and network connectivity to the Outposts racksC. Physical security and access controls of the data center environmentE. Physical maintenance of Outposts components
