Tip 2 Cloud

A company wants to run a gaming application on Amazon EC2 instances that are part of an Auto Scaling group in the AWS Cloud.The application will transmit data by using UDP packets.The company wants to ensure that the application can scale out and in as traffic increases and decreases.What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →

A company runs several websites on AWS for its different brands.Each website generates tens of gigabytes of web traffic logs each day.A solutions architect needs to design a scalable solution to give the company’s developers the ability to analyze traffic patterns across all the company’s websites.This analysis by the developers will occur on demand once a week over the course of several months.The solution must support queries with standard SQL.Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?Read More →

A solutions architect needs to host a high performance computing (HPC) workload in the AWS Cloud.The workload will run on hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances and will require parallel access to a shared file system to enable distributed processing of large datasets.Datasets will be accessed across multiple instances simultaneously.The workload requires access latency within 1 ms.After processing has completed, engineers will need access to the dataset for manual postprocessing.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A gaming company is building an application with Voice over IP capabilities.The application will serve traffic to users across the world.The application needs to be highly available with an automated failover across AWS Regions.The company wants to minimize the latency of users without relying on IP address caching on user devices.What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →

A weather forecasting company needs to process hundreds of gigabytes of data with sub-millisecond latency.The company has a high performance computing (HPC) environment in its data center and wants to expand its forecasting capabilities.A solutions architect must identify a highly available cloud storage solution that can handle large amounts of sustained throughput.Files that are stored in the solution should be accessible to thousands of compute instances that will simultaneously access and process the entire dataset.What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →
