A company is migrating its on-premises PostgreSQL database to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL.The on-premises database must remain online and accessible during the migration.The Aurora database must remain synchronized with the on-premises database.Which combination of actions must a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)Read More →

A solutions architect is designing the cloud architecture for a company that needs to host hundreds of machine learning models for its users.During startup, the models need to load up to 10 GB of data from Amazon S3 into memory, but they do not need disk access.Most of the models are used sporadically, but the users expect all of them to be highly available and accessible with low latency.Which solution meets the requirements and is MOST cost-effective?Read More →

A company runs a web application on Amazon EC2 instances in multiple Availability Zones.The EC2 instances are in private subnets.A solutions architect implements an internet-facing Application Load Balancer (ALB) and specifies the EC2 instances as the target group.However, the internet traffic is not reaching the EC2 instances.How should the solutions architect reconfigure the architecture to resolve this issue?Read More →

A company has an Amazon S3 data lake that is governed by AWS Lake Formation.The company wants to create a visualization in Amazon QuickSight by joining the data in the data lake with operational data that is stored in an Amazon Aurora MySQL database.The company wants to enforce column-level authorization so that the company’s marketing team can access only a subset of columns in the database.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?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 →

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 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?
