A solutions architect is designing the architecture of a new application being deployed to the AWS Cloud.The application will run on Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances and will automatically scale across multiple Availability Zones.The EC2 instances will scale up and down frequently throughout the day.An Application Load Balancer (ALB) will handle the load distribution.The architecture needs to support distributed session data management.The company is willing to make changes to code if needed.What should the solutions architect do to ensure that the architecture supports distributed session data management?Read More →

A company offers a food delivery service that is growing rapidly.Because of the growth, the company’s order processing system is experiencing scaling problems during peak traffic hours.The current architecture includes the following:• A group of Amazon EC2 instances that run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to collect orders from the application• Another group of EC2 instances that run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to fulfill ordersThe order collection process occurs quickly, but the order fulfillment process can take longer.Data must not be lost because of a scaling event.A solutions architect must ensure that the order collection process and the order fulfillment process can both scale properly during peak traffic hours.The solution must optimize utilization of the company’s AWS resources.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company hosts multiple production applications.One of the applications consists of resources from Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, Amazon RDS, Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS), and Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) across multiple AWS Regions.All company resources are tagged with a tag name of “application” and a value that corresponds to each application.A solutions architect must provide the quickest solution for identifying all of the tagged components.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →
