A company wants to deploy a new public web application on AWS.The application includes a web server tier that uses Amazon EC2 instances.The application also includes a database tier that uses an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance.The application must be secure and accessible for global customers that have dynamic IP addresses.How should a solutions architect configure the security groups to meet these requirements?Read More →

A company runs a web application that is deployed on Amazon EC2 instances in the private subnet of a VPC.An Application Load Balancer (ALB) that extends across the public subnets directs web traffic to the EC2 instances.The company wants to implement new security measures to restrict inbound traffic from the ALB to the EC2 instances while preventing access from any other source inside or outside the private subnet of the EC2 instances.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company has an application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances and uses an Amazon Aurora database.The EC2 instances connect to the database by using user names and passwords that are stored locally in a file.The company wants to minimize the operational overhead of credential management.What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this goal?Read More →
