Solutions Architect Associate (Page 102)

A solutions architect is designing the cloud architecture for a new stateless application that will be deployed on AWS.The solutions architect created an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) and launch template for the application.Based on the number of jobs that need to be processed, the processing must run in parallel while adding and removing application Amazon EC2 instances as needed.The application must be loosely coupled.The job items must be durably stored.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company is developing a new application that uses a relational database to store user data and application configurations.The company expects the application to have steady user growth.The company expects the database usage to be variable and read-heavy, with occasional writes.The company wants to cost-optimize the database solution.The company wants to use an AWS managed database solution that will provide the necessary performance.Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?Read More →

A company has an internal application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group.The EC2 instances are compute optimized and use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes.The company wants to identify cost optimizations across the EC2 instances, the Auto Scaling group, and the EBS volumes.Which solution will meet these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?Read More →

A business application is hosted on Amazon EC2 and uses Amazon S3 for encrypted object storage.The chief information security officer has directed that no application traffic between the two services should traverse the public internet.Which capability should the solutions architect use to meet the compliance requirements?Read More →

A company is running an online transaction processing (OLTP) workload on AWS.This workload uses an unencrypted Amazon RDS DB instance in a Multi-AZ deployment.Daily database snapshots are taken from this instance.What should a solutions architect do to ensure the database and snapshots are always encrypted moving forward?Read More →

A company wants to build a scalable key management infrastructure to support developers who need to encrypt data in their applications.What should a solutions architect do to reduce the operational burden?Read More →

A company has a dynamic web application hosted on two Amazon EC2 instances.The company has its own SSL certificate, which is on each instance to perform SSL termination.There has been an increase in traffic recently, and the operations team determined that SSL encryption and decryption is causing the compute capacity of the web servers to reach their maximum limit.What should a solutions architect do to increase the application’s performance?Read More →

A company has a highly dynamic batch processing job that uses many Amazon EC2 instances to complete it.The job is stateless in nature, can be started and stopped at any given time with no negative impact, and typically takes upwards of 60 minutes total to complete.The company has asked a solutions architect to design a scalable and cost-effective solution that meets the requirements of the job.What should the solutions architect recommend?Read More →

A solutions architect needs to implement a solution to reduce a company’s storage costs.All the company’s data is in the Amazon S3 Standard storage class.The company must keep all data for at least 25 years.Data from the most recent 2 years must be highly available and immediately retrievable.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company wants to run applications in containers in the AWS Cloud.These applications are stateless and can tolerate disruptions within the underlying infrastructure.The company needs a solution that minimizes cost and operational overhead.What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →
