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 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 →
