A company has several applications running in an on-premises data center.The data center runs a mix of Windows and Linux VMs managed by VMware vCenter.A solutions architect needs to create a plan to migrate the applications to AWS.However, the solutions architect discovers that the document for the applications is not up to date and that there are no complete infrastructure diagrams.The company’s developers lack time to discuss their applications and current usage with the solutions architect.What should the solutions architect do to gather the required information?Read More →

A Solutions Architect is designing a deployment strategy for an application tier and has the following requirements:✑ The application code will need a 500 GB static dataset to be present before application startup.✑ The application tier must be able to scale up and down based on demand with as little startup time as possible.✑ The Development team should be able to update the code multiple times each day.✑ Critical operating system (OS) patches must be installed within 48 hours of being released.Which deployment strategy meets these requirements?Read More →

A company is running a large containerized workload in the AWS Cloud.The workload consists of approximately 100 different services.The company usesAmazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to orchestrate the workload.Recently, the company’s development team started using AWS Fargate instead of Amazon EC2 instances in the ECS cluster.In the past, the workload has come close to running the maximum number of EC2 instances that are available in the account.The company is worried that the workload could reach the maximum number of ECS tasks that are allowed.A solutions architect must implement a solution that will notify the development team when Fargate reaches 80% of the maximum number of tasks.What should the solutions architect do to meet this requirement?Read More →

A life sciences company is using a combination of open source tools to manage data analysis workflows and Docker containers running on servers in its on- premises data center to process genomics data.Sequencing data is generated and stored on a local storage area network (SAN), and then the data is processed.The research and development teams are running into capacity issues and have decided to re-architect their genomics analysis platform on AWS to scale based on workload demands and reduce the turnaround time from weeks to days.The company has a high-speed AWS Direct Connect connection.Sequencers will generate around 200 GB of data for each genome, and individual jobs can take several hours to process the data with ideal compute capacity.The end result will be stored in Amazon S3.The company is expecting 10-15 job requests each day.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A solutions architect is designing the data storage and retrieval architecture for a new application that a company will be launching soon.The application is designed to ingest millions of small records per minute from devices all around the world.Each record is less than 4 KB in size and needs to be stored in a durable location where it can be retrieved with low latency.The data is ephemeral and the company is required to store the data for 120 days only, after which the data can be deleted.The solutions architect calculates that, during the course of a year, the storage requirements would be about 10-15 TB.Which storage strategy is the MOST cost-effective and meets the design requirements?Read More →

A finance company hosts a data lake in Amazon S3.The company receives financial data records over SFTP each night from several third parties.The company runs its own SFTP server on an Amazon EC2 instance in a public subnet of a VPC.After the files are uploaded, they are moved to the data lake by a cron job that runs on the same instance.The SFTP server is reachable on DNS sftp.example.com through the use of Amazon Route 53.What should a solutions architect do to improve the reliability and scalability of the SFTP solution?Read More →

A company’s security compliance requirements state that all Amazon EC2 images must be scanned for vulnerabilities and must pass a CVE assessment.A solutions architect is developing a mechanism to create security- approved AMIs that can be used by developers.Any new AMIs should go through an automated assessment process and be marked as approved before developers can use them.The approved images must be scanned every 30 days to ensure compliance.Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to meet these requirements while following best practices? (Choose two.)Read More →

A company has developed a web application.The company is hosting the application on a group of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer.The company wants to improve the security posture of the application and plans to use AWS WAF web ACLs.The solution must not adversely affect legitimate traffic to the application.How should a solutions architect configure the web ACLs to meet these requirements?Read More →
