A company needs to implement a patching process for its servers.The on-premises servers and Amazon EC2 instances use a variety of tools to perform patching.Management requires a single report showing the patch status of all the servers and instances.Which set of actions should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements?Read More →

A company is running an application on several Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer.The load on the application varies throughout the day, and EC2 instances are scaled in and out on a regular basis.Log files from the EC2 instances are copied to a central Amazon S3 bucket every 15 minutes.The security team discovers that log files are missing from some of the terminated EC2 instances.Which set of actions will ensure that log files are copied to the central S3 bucket from the terminated EC2 instances?Read More →

A company is using multiple AWS accounts.The DNS records are stored in a private hosted zone for Amazon Route 53 in Account A.The company’s applications and databases are running in Account B.A solutions architect will deploy a two-tier application in a new VPC.To simplify the configuration, the db.example.com CNAME record set for the Amazon RDS endpoint was created in a private hosted zone for Amazon Route 53.During deployment, the application failed to start.Troubleshooting revealed that db.example.com is not resolvable on the Amazon EC2 instance.The solutions architect confirmed that the record set was created correctly in Route 53.Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)Read More →

A company used Amazon EC2 instances to deploy a web fleet to host a blog site.The EC2 instances are behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and are configured in an Auto Scaling group.The web application stores all blog content on an Amazon EFS volume.The company recently added a feature for bloggers to add video to their posts, attracting 10 times the previous user traffic.At peak times of day, users report buffering and timeout issues while attempting to reach the site or watch videos.Which is the MOST cost-efficient and scalable deployment that will resolve the issues for users?Read More →

A company with global offices has a single 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection to a single AWS Region.The company’s on-premises network uses the connection to communicate with the company’s resources in the AWS Cloud.The connection has a single private virtual interface that connects to a single VPC.A solutions architect must implement a solution that adds a redundant Direct Connect connection in the same Region.The solution also must provide connectivity to other Regions through the same pair of Direct Connect connections as the company expands into other Regions.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company has a web application that allows users to upload short videos.The videos are stored on Amazon EBS volumes and analyzed by custom recognition software for categorization.The website contains static content that has variable traffic with peaks in certain months.The architecture consists of Amazon EC2 instances running in an Auto Scaling group for the web application and EC2 instances running in an Auto Scaling group to process an Amazon SQS queue.The company wants to re-architect the application to reduce operational overhead using AWS managed services where possible and remove dependencies on third-party software.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company has a serverless application comprised of Amazon CloudFront, Amazon API Gateway, and AWS Lambda functions.The current deployment process of the application code is to create a new version number of the Lambda function and run an AWS CLI script to update.If the new function version has errors, another CLI script reverts by deploying the previous working version of the function.The company would like to decrease the time to deploy new versions of the application logic provided by the Lambda functions, and also reduce the time to detect and revert when errors are identified.How can this be accomplished?Read More →

A company is using an on-premises Active Directory service for user authentication.The company wants to use the same authentication service to sign in to the company’s AWS accounts, which are using AWS Organizations.AWS Site-to-Site VPN connectivity already exists between the on-premises environment and all the company’s AWS accounts.The company’s security policy requires conditional access to the accounts based on user groups and roles.User identities must be managed in a single location.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A software company has deployed an application that consumes a REST API by using Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda functions, and an Amazon DynamoDB table.The application is showing an increase in the number of errors during PUT requests.Most of the PUT calls come from a small number of clients that are authenticated with specific API keys.A solutions architect has identified that a large number of the PUT requests originate from one client.The API is noncritical, and clients can tolerate retries of unsuccessful calls.However, the errors are displayed to customers and are causing damage to the API’s reputation.What should the solutions architect recommend to improve the customer experience?Read More →

A company is running a data-intensive application on AWS.The application runs on a cluster of hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances.A shared file system also runs on several EC2 instances that store 200 TB of data.The application reads and modifies the data on the shared file system and generates a report.The job runs once monthly, reads a subset of the files from the shared file system, and takes about 72 hours to complete.The compute instances scale in an Auto Scaling group, but the instances that host the shared file system run continuously.The compute and storage instances are all in the same AWS Region.A solutions architect needs to reduce costs by replacing the shared file system instances.The file system must provide high performance access to the needed data for the duration of the 72-hour run.Which solution will provide the LARGEST overall cost reduction while meeting these requirements?Read More →
