You want to create two resources in your template: an S3 bucket named MyDataBucket and an EC2 instance named MyWebServer. Which Resources section snippet correctly defines both with minimal required properties?

A{ "MyDataBucket": { "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket", "Properties": { "InstanceType": "t3.micro" } }, "MyWebServer": { "Type": "AWS::EC2::Instance" } }

B{ "AWS::S3::Bucket": { "MyDataBucket": {} }, "AWS::EC2::Instance": { "MyWebServer": { "InstanceType": "t3.micro", "ImageId": "ami-0abcdef1234567890" } } }

C{ "MyDataBucket": { "Type": "AWS::EC2::Instance" }, "MyWebServer": { "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket", "Properties": { "InstanceType": "t3.micro" } } }

D{ "MyDataBucket": { "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket" }, "MyWebServer": { "Type": "AWS::EC2::Instance", "Properties": { "InstanceType": "t3.micro", "ImageId": "ami-0abcdef1234567890" } } }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Verify resource names and types
MyDataBucket must be AWS::S3::Bucket, MyWebServer must be AWS::EC2::Instance.
Step 2: Check required properties for EC2
EC2 instance requires InstanceType and ImageId properties; S3 bucket can be empty.
Step 3: Identify correct JSON structure
{ "MyDataBucket": { "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket" }, "MyWebServer": { "Type": "AWS::EC2::Instance", "Properties": { "InstanceType": "t3.micro", "ImageId": "ami-0abcdef1234567890" } } } correctly defines both resources with proper types and properties.
Final Answer:
{ "MyDataBucket": { "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket" }, "MyWebServer": { "Type": "AWS::EC2::Instance", "Properties": { "InstanceType": "t3.micro", "ImageId": "ami-0abcdef1234567890" } } } -> Option D
Quick Check:
Correct types and properties for both resources = { "MyDataBucket": { "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket" }, "MyWebServer": { "Type": "AWS::EC2::Instance", "Properties": { "InstanceType": "t3.micro", "ImageId": "ami-0abcdef1234567890" } } } [OK]

Quick Trick: S3 needs Type only; EC2 needs Type plus InstanceType and ImageId [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Swapping resource types
Putting resource names inside types
Missing required EC2 properties
