A company wants to move a multi-tiered application from on premises to the AWS Cloud to improve the application’s performance.The application consists of application tiers that communicate with each other by way of RESTful services.Transactions are dropped when one tier becomes overloaded.A solutions architect must design a solution that resolves these issues and modernizes the application.Which solution meets these requirements and is the MOST operationally efficient?Read More →

A company is migrating a distributed application to AWS.The application serves variable workloads.The legacy platform consists of a primary server that coordinates jobs across multiple compute nodes.The company wants to modernize the application with a solution that maximizes resiliency and scalability.How should a solutions architect design the architecture to meet these requirements?Read More →

A company needs to connect its on-premises data center network to a new VPC.The data center network has a 100 Mbps symmetrical internet connection.An application that is running on premises will transfer multiple gigabytes of data each day.The application will use an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream for processing.What should a solutions architect recommend for maximum performance?Read More →

A company that recently started using AWS establishes a Site-to-Site VPN between its on-premises datacenter and AWS.The company’s security mandate states that traffic originating from on premises should stay within the company’s private IP space when communicating with an Amazon Elastic Container Service(Amazon ECS) cluster that is hosting a sample web application.Which solution meets this requirement?Read More →

A company hosts an application on AWS.The application uses AWS Lambda functions and stores data in Amazon DynamoDB tables.The Lambda functions are connected to a VPC that does not have internet access.The traffic to access DynamoDB must not travel across the internet.The application must have write access to only specific DynamoDB tables.Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)Read More →

A research company runs experiments that are powered by a simulation application and a visualization application.The simulation application runs on Linux and outputs intermediate data to an NFS share every 5 minutes.The visualization application is a Windows desktop application that displays the simulation output and requires an SMB file system.The company maintains two synchronized file systems.This strategy is causing data duplication and inefficient resource usage.The company needs to migrate the applications to AWS without making code changes to either application.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company wants to manage Amazon Machine Images (AMIs).The company currently copies AMIs to the same AWS Region where the AMIs were created.The company needs to design an application that captures AWS API calls and sends alerts whenever the Amazon EC2 CreateImage API operation is called within the company’s account.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →
