A company is designing an application.The application uses an AWS Lambda function to receive information through Amazon API Gateway and to store the information in an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database.During the proof-of-concept stage, the company has to increase the Lambda quotas significantly to handle the high volumes of data that the company needs to load into the database.A solutions architect must recommend a new design to improve scalability and minimize the configuration effort.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company has 700 TB of backup data stored in network attached storage (NAS) in its data center This backup data need to be accessible for infrequent regulatory requests and must be retained 7 years. The company has decided to migrate this backup data from its data center to AWS. The migration must be complete within 1 month.

A company observes an increase in Amazon EC2 costs in its most recent bill.The billing team notices unwanted vertical scaling of instance types for a couple of EC2 instances.A solutions architect needs to create a graph comparing the last 2 months of EC2 costs and perform an in-depth analysis to identify the root cause of the vertical scaling.How should the solutions architect generate the information with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →

A company runs an on-premises application that is powered by a MySQL database.The company is migrating the application to AWS to increase the application’s elasticity and availability.The current architecture shows heavy read activity on the database during times of normal operation.Every 4 hours, the company’s development team pulls a full export of the production database to populate a database in the staging environment.During this period, users experience unacceptable application latency.The development team is unable to use the staging environment until the procedure completes.A solutions architect must recommend replacement architecture that alleviates the application latency issue.The replacement architecture also must give the development team the ability to continue using the staging environment without delay.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →
