A company is planning to build a high performance computing (HPC) workload as a service solution that is hosted on AWS.A group of 16 Amazon EC2 Linux instances requires the lowest possible latency for node-to-node communication.The instances also need a shared block device volume for high-performing storage.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A gaming company is designing a highly available architecture.The application runs on a modified Linux kernel and supports only UDP-based traffic.The company needs the front-end tier to provide the best possible user experience.That tier must have low latency, route traffic to the nearest edge location, and provide static IP addresses for entry into the application endpoints.What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →

A financial company hosts a web application on AWS.The application uses an Amazon API Gateway Regional API endpoint to give users the ability to retrieve current stock prices.The company’s security team has noticed an increase in the number of API requests.The security team is concerned that HTTP flood attacks might take the application offline.A solutions architect must design a solution to protect the application from this type of attack.Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →

A company runs a web-based portal that provides users with global breaking news, local alerts, and weather updates.The portal delivers each user a personalized view by using mixture of static and dynamic content.Content is served over HTTPS through an API server running on an Amazon EC2 instance behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB).The company wants the portal to provide this content to its users across the world as quickly as possible.How should a solutions architect design the application to ensure the LEAST amount of latency for all users?Read More →

A company is running an application on AWS to process weather sensor data that is stored in an Amazon S3 bucket.Three batch jobs run hourly to process the data in the S3 bucket for different purposes.The company wants to reduce the overall processing time by running the three applications in parallel using an event- based approach.What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →

A solutions architect needs to help a company optimize the cost of running an application on AWS.The application will use Amazon EC2 instances, AWS Fargate, and AWS Lambda for compute within the architecture.The EC2 instances will run the data ingestion layer of the application.EC2 usage will be sporadic and unpredictable.Workloads that run on EC2 instances can be interrupted at any time.The application front end will run on Fargate, and Lambda will serve the API layer.The front-end utilization and API layer utilization will be predictable over the course of the next year.Which combination of purchasing options will provide the MOST cost-effective solution for hosting this application? (Choose two.)Read More →

A hospital wants to create digital copies for its large collection of historical written records.The hospital will continue to add hundreds of new documents each day.The hospital’s data team will scan the documents and will upload the documents to the AWS Cloud.A solutions architect must implement a solution to analyze the documents, extract the medical information, and store the documents so that an application can runSQL queries on the data.The solution must maximize scalability and operational efficiency.Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)Read More →

A reporting team receives files each day in an Amazon S3 bucket.The reporting team manually reviews and copies the files from this initial S3 bucket to an analysis S3 bucket each day at the same time to use with Amazon QuickSight.Additional teams are starting to send more files in larger sizes to the initial S3 bucket.The reporting team wants to move the files automatically analysis S3 bucket as the files enter the initial S3 bucket.The reporting team also wants to use AWS Lambda functions to run pattern-matching code on the copied data.In addition, the reporting team wants to send the data files to a pipeline in Amazon SageMaker Pipelines.What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →

A company is building a payment application that must be highly available even during regional service disruptions. A solutions architect must design a data storage solution that can be easily replicated and used in other AWS Regions. The application also requires low-latency atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID) transactions that need to be immediately available to generate reports The development team also needs to use SQL.Which data storage solution meets these requirements?Read More →
