You work in the genomics industry and you process large amounts of genomic data using a nightly Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) job. This job processes a single 3 TB file which is stored on S3. The EMR job runs on 3 on-demand core nodes and four on-demand task nodes. The EMR job is now taking longer than anticipated and you have been asked to advise how to reduce the completion time, which of the following would be the best approach?
Use four Spot instances for the task nodes rather than four On-Demand instances.
Store the file on Elastic File Service instead of S3 and then mount EFS as an independent volume for your core nodes.
Configure an independent VPC in which to run EMR jobs and then mount EFS as an idenpendent volume for your core nodes.
You should reduce the input split size in the Map Reduce job configuration and then adjust the number of the simultaneous mapper tasks so that more tasks can be processed at once.
You company has decided to set up a new AWS account for test and dev purposes. They already use ASW for production, but would like a new account dedicated for test and dev so as to not accidentally break the production environment. You launch an exact replica of your production environment using a CloudFormation template that your company uses in production. However, CloudFormation fails. You use the exact CloudFormation template in production so the failure is something to do with your new AWS account. The CloudFormation template is trying to launch 60 new EC2 instances in a single availability zone. After some research you discover that the problem is:
For all new AWS accounts there is a soft limit of 20 EC2 instances per availability zone. You should submit the limit increase form and retry the template after your limit has been increased.
You cannot launch more than 20 instances in your default VPC, instead reconfigure the CloudFormation template to provision the instances in a custom VPC.
For all new AWS accounts there is a soft limit of 20 EC2 instances per region. You should submit the limit increase form and retry the template after your limit has been increased.
Your CloudFormation template is configured to use the parent account and not the new account. Change the account number in the CloudFormation template and relaunch the template.

What is the difference between Elastic Beanstalk & CloudFormation?
Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment, from capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling to application health monitoring based on the code you upload to it, whereas CloudFormation is a security service designed to harden your cloud against an attack such as a DDOS
Elastic Beanstalk is a monitoring tool used to view the performance of your AWS resources, whereas CloudFormation is an automated provisioning engine designed to deploy entire cloud environments via a JSON script.
Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment, from capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling to application health monitoring based on the code you upload to it, whereas CloudFormation is an automated provisioning engine designed to deploy entire cloud environments via a JSON script.
There is no difference between the two. Elastic Beanstalk was simply the code name used internally for CloudFormation, prior to the product being released.
