A solutions architect is designing a solution where users will be directed to a backup static error page if the primary website is unavailable.The primary website’s DNS records are hosted in Amazon Route 53 where their domain is pointing to an Application Load Balancer (ALB).Which configuration should the solutions architect use to meet the company’s needs while minimizing changes and infrastructure overhead?Read More →

A company has an on-premises SFTP file transfer solution.The company is migrating to the AWS Cloud to scale the file transfer solution and to optimize costs by using Amazon S3.The company’s employees will use their credentials for the on-premises Microsoft Active Directory (AD) to access the new solution.The company wants to keep the current authentication and file access mechanisms.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →

A solutions architect is designing a high performance computing (HPC) workload on Amazon EC2.The EC2 instances need to communicate to each other frequently and require network performance with low latency and high throughput.Which EC2 configuration meets these requirements?Read More →

A company is using AWS to design a web application that will process insurance quotes.Users will request quotes from the application.Quotes must be separated by quote type, must be responded to within 24 hours, and must not get lost.The solution must maximize operational efficiency and must minimize maintenance.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company wants to host a scalable web application on AWS.The application will be accessed by users from different geographic regions of the world.Application users will be able to download and upload unique data up to gigabytes in size.The development team wants a cost-effective solution to minimize upload and download latency and maximize performance.What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this?Read More →

A company needs to ingest and handle large amounts of streaming data that its application generates.The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances and sends data to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, which is configured with default settings.Every other day, the application consumes the data and writes the data to an Amazon S3 bucket for business intelligence (BI) processing.The company observes that Amazon S3 is not receiving all the data that the application sends to Kinesis Data Streams.What should a solutions architect do to resolve this issue?Read More →

A company has a legacy application that processes data in two parts.The second part of the process takes longer than the first, so the company has decided to rewrite the application as two microservices running on Amazon ECS that can scale independently.How should a solutions architect integrate the microservices?Read More →

A company runs its applications on Amazon EC2 instances that are backed by Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).The EC2 instances run the most recent Amazon Linux release.The applications are experiencing availability issues when the company’s employees store and retrieve files that are 25 GB or larger.The company needs a solution that does not require the company to transfer files between EC2 instances.The files must be available across many EC2 instances and across multiple Availability Zones.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company’s application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB).The instances run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones.On the first day of every month at midnight, the application becomes much slower when the month-end financial calculation batch executes.This causes the CPU utilization of the EC2 instances to immediately peak to 100%, which disrupts the application.What should a solutions architect recommend to ensure the application is able to handle the workload and avoid downtime?Read More →

A company stores its data objects in Amazon S3 Standard storage.A solutions architect has found that 75% of the data is rarely accessed after 30 days.The company needs all the data to remain immediately accessible with the same high availability and resiliency, but the company wants to minimize storage costs.Which storage solution will meet these requirements?Read More →
