Sample Questions

Five real questions from the bank — one from each domain, plus a multiple-response example. Click Show answer to reveal the correct answer and explanation.

Domain 1 — Cloud Concepts Multiple-choice Q1

A company wants to avoid large upfront capital expenditures when launching new workloads. Which benefit of the AWS Cloud best addresses this requirement?

ATrade fixed expense for variable expense
BBenefit from massive economies of scale
CIncrease speed and agility
DStop guessing capacity

Trading fixed expense for variable expense means you pay only for what you consume instead of investing heavily in data centers before you know how much capacity you need. Economies of scale reduce per-unit cost but don't directly eliminate upfront capital. Speed/agility and capacity planning are separate benefits.

Domain 2 — Security and Compliance Multiple-choice Q63

Under the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, which of the following is the customer's responsibility?

APatching the hypervisor on EC2 host machines
BManaging security group rules for EC2 instances
CPhysical security of AWS data centers
DMaintaining the global network infrastructure

Customers are responsible for managing security group rules, which control inbound and outbound traffic to EC2 instances. AWS is responsible for the hypervisor, physical security of data centers, and the global network infrastructure.

Domain 1 — Cloud Concepts Multiple-response Q7

Which TWO of the following are advantages of cloud computing as defined by AWS?

(Select TWO.)

AEliminate the need for IT staff entirely
BGo global in minutes
CBenefit from massive economies of scale
DGuarantee 100% uptime for all services
EAvoid all security responsibilities

Going global in minutes and benefiting from massive economies of scale are two of the six advantages of cloud computing listed by AWS. You still need IT staff (though in different roles), no service guarantees 100% uptime, and customers still share security responsibilities under the shared responsibility model.

Domain 3 — Cloud Technology and Services Multiple-choice Q146

A team wants to deploy the same infrastructure consistently across development, staging, and production environments. Which approach is best?

AManually configure each environment through the Console
BUse AWS CloudFormation templates to define and deploy infrastructure consistently
CUse different AWS accounts for each environment with no automation
DDeploy only to production and skip other environments

CloudFormation templates enable consistent, repeatable infrastructure deployment across environments. The same template ensures dev, staging, and production are identical. Manual configuration leads to drift and errors, and skipping environments is poor practice.

Domain 4 — Billing, Pricing, and Support Multiple-choice Q229

A company wants to run EC2 instances 24/7 for a three-year project with predictable resource needs. Which pricing model offers the greatest discount?

AOn-Demand
BSpot Instances
CReserved Instances (3-year, All Upfront)
DSavings Plans (1-year, No Upfront)

A 3-year Reserved Instance with All Upfront payment provides the greatest discount (up to 72% off On-Demand). Longer terms and upfront payments yield bigger discounts. On-Demand is full price, Spot is cheapest but interruptible and not suitable for 24/7 steady workloads, and a 1-year Savings Plan with No Upfront provides less discount.

How the Practice Tests Work

Every detail of the test engine is designed to match the real CLF-C02 exam experience.

🎲

Randomized every attempt

Each test draws a fresh subset from the 400-question bank. No two attempts are identical, so repeated practice exposes you to new questions rather than memorized patterns.

Domain-weighted to match the exam

Questions are sampled in proportion to the official CLF-C02 domain weights: Cloud Concepts 24%, Security & Compliance 30%, Cloud Technology & Services 34%, Billing & Support 12%.

🔄

Shuffled answer options

The A/B/C/D positions are reshuffled on every attempt, so you can't rely on position memory. The correct answer is always re-mapped to its new position before scoring.

Timed mode with four lengths

Choose 15, 30, 45, or 65 questions. The 65-question test matches the real exam's 90-minute limit. A flag-for-review button lets you mark questions and return to them before submitting.
