A company wants to run an in-memory database for a latency-sensitive application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances.The application processes more than100,000 transactions each minute and requires high network throughput.A solutions architect needs to provide a cost-effective network design that minimizes data transfer charges.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company is preparing to migrate its on-premises application to AWS. The application consists of application servers and a Microsoft SQL Server database The database cannot be migrated to a different engine because SQL Server features are used in the application’s NET code. The company wants to attain the greatest availability possible while minimizing operational and management overhead.What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this?Read More →

A company is building an application on Amazon EC2 instances.The application generates temporary transactional data.The application requires access toAmazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) data storage that can provide configurable and consistent IOPS.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company has an API that receives real-time data from a fleet of monitoring devices.The API stores this data in an Amazon RDS DB instance for later analysis.The amount of data that the monitoring devices send to the API fluctuates.During periods of heavy traffic, the API often returns timeout errors.After an inspection of the logs, the company determines that the database is not capable of processing the volume of write traffic that comes from the API.A solutions architect must minimize the number of connections to the database and must ensure that data is not lost during periods of heavy traffic.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company has a three-tier web application that is deployed on AWS.The web servers are deployed in a public subnet in a VPC.The application servers and database servers are deployed in private subnets in the same VPC.The company has deployed a third-party virtual firewall appliance from AWS Marketplace in an inspection VPC.The appliance is configured with an IP interface that can accept IP packets.A solutions architect needs to integrate the web application with the appliance to inspect all traffic to the application before the traffic reaches the web server.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →

A company is creating an application that runs on containers in a VPC.The application stores and accesses data in an Amazon S3 bucket.During the development phase, the application will store and access 1 TB of data in Amazon S3 each day.The company wants to minimize costs and wants to prevent traffic from traversing the internet whenever possible.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company is deploying a new application to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) with an AWS Fargate cluster.The application needs a storage solution for data persistence.The solution must be highly available and fault tolerant.The solution also must be shared between multiple application containers.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →

A company runs its ecommerce application on AWS.Every new order is published as a message in a RabbitMQ queue that runs on an Amazon EC2 instance in a single Availability Zone.These messages are processed by a different application that runs on a separate EC2 instance.This application stores the details in aPostgreSQL database on another EC2 instance.All the EC2 instances are in the same Availability Zone.The company needs to redesign its architecture to provide the highest availability with the least operational overhead.What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →

A company uses Amazon S3 as its data lake.The company has a new partner that must use SFTP to upload data files.A solutions architect needs to implement a highly available SFTP solution that minimizes operational overhead.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company’s website handles millions of requests each day, and the number of requests continues to increase.A solutions architect needs to improve the response time of the web application.The solutions architect determines that the application needs to decrease latency when retrieving product details from theAmazon DynamoDB table.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?Read More →
