A large financial company runs a Cloud Hybrid environment. Previously, separate deployment tools are used for on-premises and AWS servers. There is an increasing need to manage the deployment with the same tool for all the instances. You proposed to use AWS CodeDeploy for this requirement. Given that all existing on-premise machines are running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS operating system, which prerequisites must be met to configure on-premises instances with AWS CodeDeploy? (Select TWO.)

Answer options:

A.The local account used to configure the on-premises instance must be able to run either as sudo or root.
B.The on-premises instance must open port 80 for the outbound traffic to connect to public AWS service endpoints.
C.Java 8 should be installed in order for CodeDeploy agent to work properly.
D.The IAM identity to register the on-premises instance in CodeDeploy service must be granted proper permissions.
E.A VPN connection or a Direct Connect should be established between on-premises environment and AWS VPC.

Correct Answer – A, D
AWS CodeDeploy can help manage the deployment of both on-premise and EC2 instances. However, some prerequisites need to be met for on-premise servers. Refer to
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/instances-on-premises-prerequisites.html
for the details.
Option A is CORRECT: Because administrative control is required for CodeDeploy service. Otherwise, the deployment will not be successful.
Option B is incorrect: Because outbound port 80 is unnecessary. Instead, the CodeDeploy agent needs HTTPs port 443 to communicate with AWS.
Option C is incorrect: Because this is not a requirement for CodeDeploy agent. The agent itself is a Ruby package.
Option D is CORRECT: Because this is required to register the instance to AWS CodeDeploy service.
Option E is incorrect: Because the internet connection can meet the need. VPN/Direct Connect is not mandatory.
