Solutions Architect Professional (Page 11)

A company has several applications running in an on-premises data center.The data center runs a mix of Windows and Linux VMs managed by VMware vCenter.A solutions architect needs to create a plan to migrate the applications to AWS.However, the solutions architect discovers that the document for the applications is not up to date and that there are no complete infrastructure diagrams.The company’s developers lack time to discuss their applications and current usage with the solutions architect.What should the solutions architect do to gather the required information?Read More →

An international delivery company hosts a delivery management system on AWS.Drivers use the system to upload confirmation of delivery.Confirmation includes the recipient’s signature or a photo of the package with the recipient.The driver’s handheld device uploads signatures and photos through FTP to a single Amazon EC2 instance.Each handheld device saves a file in a directory based on the signed-in user, and the file name matches the delivery number.The EC2 instance then adds metadata to the file after querying a central database to pull delivery information.The file is then placed in Amazon S3 for archiving.As the company expands, drivers report that the system is rejecting connections.The FTP server is having problems because of dropped connections and memory issues in response to these problems, a system engineer schedules a cron task to reboot the EC2 instance every 30 minutes.The billing team reports that files are not always in the archive and that the central system is not always updated.A solutions architect needs to design a solution that maximizes scalability to ensure that the archive always receives the files and that systems are always updated.The handheld devices cannot be modified, so the company cannot deploy a new application.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A solutions architect is implementing federated access to AWS for users of the company’s mobile application.Due to regulatory and security requirements, the application must use a custom-built solution for authenticating users and must use IAM roles for authorization.Which of the following actions would enable authentication and authorization and satisfy the requirements?

A company is running a containerized application in the AWS Cloud.The application is running by using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on a set of Amazon EC2 instances.The EC2 instances run in an Auto Scaling group.The company uses Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) to store its container images.When a new image version is uploaded, the new image version receives a unique tag.The company needs a solution that inspects new image versions for common vulnerabilities and exposures.The solution must automatically delete new image tags that have Critical or High severity findings.The solution also must notify the development team when such a deletion occurs.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company needs to implement a patching process for its servers.The on-premises servers and Amazon EC2 instances use a variety of tools to perform patching.Management requires a single report showing the patch status of all the servers and instances.Which set of actions should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements?Read More →

A company is running a web-crawling process on a list of target URLs to obtain training documents for machine learning training algorithms.A fleet of Amazon EC2 t2.micro instances pulls the target URLs from an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue.The instances then write the result of the crawling algorithm as a .csv file to an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) volume.The EFS volume is mounted on all instances of the fleet.A separate system adds the URLs to the SQS queue at infrequent rates.The instances crawl each URL in 10 seconds or less.Metrics indicate that some instances are idle when no URLs are in the SQS queue.A solutions architect needs to redesign the architecture to optimize costs.Which combination of steps will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively? (Choose two.)Read More →

A company uses a load balancer to distribute traffic to Amazon EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone.The company is concerned about security and wants a solutions architect to re-architect the solution to meet the following requirements:✑ Inbound requests must be filtered for common vulnerability attacks.✑ Rejected requests must be sent to a third-party auditing application.✑ All resources should be highly available.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

Accompany is building an application to collect and transmit sensor data from a factory.The application will use AWS IoT Core to send data from hundreds of devices to an Amazon S3 data lake.The company must enrich the data before loading the data into Amazon S3.The application will transmit the sensor data every 5 seconds.New sensor data must be available in Amazon S3 less than 30 minutes after the application collects the data.No other applications are processing the sensor data from AWS IoT Core.Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?Read More →

A software company is using three AWS accounts for each of its 10 development teams.The company has developed an AWS CloudFormation standard VPC template that includes three NAT gateways.The template is added to each account for each team.The company is concerned that network costs will increase each time a new development team is added.A solutions architect must maintain the reliability of the company’s solutions and minimize operational complexity.What should the solutions architect do to reduce the network costs while meeting these requirements?Read More →

A solutions architect is importing a VM from an on-premises environment by using the Amazon EC2 VM Import feature of AWS Import/Export.The solutions architect has created an AMI and has provisioned an Amazon EC2 instance that is based on that AMI.The EC2 instance runs inside a public subnet in a VPC and has a public IP address assigned.The EC2 instance does not appear as a managed instance in the AWS Systems Manager console.Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to troubleshoot this issue?
