● A company wants to host a scalable web application on AWS. The
application will be accessed by users from different geographic regions
of the world.Application users will be able to download and upload
unique data up to gigabytes in size. The development team wants a cost-
effective solution to minimize upload and download latency and
maximize performance.What should a solutions architect do to
accomplish this?
A. Use Amazon S3 with Transfer Acceleration to host the application.
B. Use Amazon S3 with CacheControl headers to host the application.
C. Use Amazon EC2 with Auto Scaling and Amazon CloudFront to host
the application.
D. Use Amazon EC2 with Auto Scaling and Amazon ElastiCache to
host the application.. Answer: C. Use Amazon EC2 with Auto Scaling
and Amazon CloudFront to host the application.
● A company is migrating from an on-premises infrastructure to the
AWS Cloud. One of the company's applications stores files on a
Windows file server farm that uses Distributed File System Replication
(DFSR) to keep data in sync. A solutions architect needs to replace the
file server farm.Which service should the solutions architect use?
,A. Amazon EFS
B. Amazon FSx
C. Amazon S3
D. AWS Storage Gateway. Answer: B. Amazon FSx
● A company has a legacy application that process data in two parts. The
second part of the process takes longer than the first, so the company has
decided to rewrite the application as two microservices running on
Amazon ECS that can scale independently.How should a solutions
architect integrate the microservices?
A. Implement code in microservice 1 to send data to an Amazon S3
bucket. Use S3 event notifications to invoke microservice 2.
B. Implement code in microservice 1 to publish data to an Amazon SNS
topic. Implement code in microservice 2 to subscribe to this topic.
C. Implement code in microservice 1 to send data to Amazon Kinesis
Data Firehose. Implement code in microservice 2 to read from Kinesis
Data Firehose.
D. Implement code in microservice 1 to send data to an Amazon SQS
queue. Implement code in microservice 2 to process messages from the
queue.. Answer: D. Implement code in microservice 1 to send data to an
Amazon SQS queue. Implement code in microservice 2 to process
messages from the queue.
,● A company captures clickstream data from multiple websites and
analyzes it using batch processing. The data is loaded nightly into
Amazon Redshift and is consumed by business analysts. The company
wants to move towards near-real-time data processing for timely
insights. The solution should process the streaming data with minimal
effort and operational overhead.Which combination of AWS services are
MOST cost-effective for this solution? (Choose two.)
A. Amazon EC2
B. AWS Lambda
C. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
D. Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose
E. Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics. Answer: B. AWS Lambda
D. Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose
● A company's application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an
Application Load Balancer (ALB). The instances run in an Amazon EC2
Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. On the first day
of every month at midnight, the application becomes much slower when
the month-end financial calculation batch executes. This causes the CPU
utilization of the EC2 instances to immediately peak to 100%, which
disrupts the application.What should a solutions architect recommend to
ensure the application is able to handle the workload and avoid
downtime?
A. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution in front of the ALB.
, B. Configure an EC2 Auto Scaling simple scaling policy based on CPU
utilization.
C. Configure an EC2 Auto Scaling scheduled scaling policy based on
the monthly schedule.
D. Configure Amazon ElastiCache to remove some of the workload
from the EC2 instances.. Answer: C. Configure an EC2 Auto Scaling
scheduled scaling policy based on the monthly schedule.
● A company runs a multi-tier web application that hosts news content.
The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application
Load Balancer. The instances run in an EC2 Auto Scaling group across
multiple Availability Zones and use an Amazon Aurora database. A
solutions architect needs to make the application more resilient to
periodic increases in request rates.Which architecture should the
solutions architect implement? (Choose two.)
A. Add AWS Shield.
B. Add Aurora Replica.
C. Add AWS Direct Connect.
D. Add AWS Global Accelerator.
E. Add an Amazon CloudFront distribution in front of the Application
Load Balancer.. Answer: B. Add Aurora Replica.
E. Add an Amazon CloudFront distribution in front of the Application
Load Balancer.
