Solutions Architect Professional (Page 12)

A company runs applications on Amazon EC2 instances.The company plans to begin using an Auto Scaling group for the instances.As part of this transition, a solutions architect must ensure that Amazon CloudWatch Logs automatically collects logs from all new instances.The new Auto Scaling group will use a launch template that includes the Amazon Linux 2 AMI and no key pair.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company’s interactive web application uses an Amazon CloudFront distribution to serve images from an Amazon S3 bucket.Occasionally, third-party tools ingest corrupted images into the S3 bucket.This image corruption causes a poor user experience in the application later.The company has successfully implemented and tested Python logic to detect corrupt images.A solutions architect must recommend a solution to integrate the detection logic with minimal latency between the ingestion and serving.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A large company is migrating its on-premises applications to the AWS Cloud.All the company’s AWS accounts belong to an organization in AWS Organizations.Each application is deployed into its own VPC in separate AWS accounts.The company decides to start the migration process by migrating the front-end web services while keeping the databases on premises.The databases are configured with local domain names that are specific to the on-premises environment.The local domain names must be resolvable from the migrated web services.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →

A company is running a large containerized workload in the AWS Cloud.The workload consists of approximately 100 different services.The company uses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to orchestrate the workload.Recently the company’s development team started using AWS Fargate instead of Amazon EC2 instances in the ECS cluster.In the past, the workload has come close to running the maximum number of EC2 instances that are available in the account.The company is worried that the workload could reach the maximum number of ECS tasks that are allowed.A solutions architect must implement a solution that will notify the development team when Fargate reaches 80% of the maximum number of tasks.What should the solutions architect do to meet this requirement?Read More →

A company has a policy that all Amazon EC2 instances that are running a database must exist within the same subnets in a shared VPC.Administrators must follow security compliance requirements and are not allowed to directly log in to the shared account.All company accounts are members of the same organization in AWS Organizations.The number of accounts will rapidly increase as the company grows.A solutions architect uses AWS Resource Access Manager to create a resource share in the shared account.What is the MOST operationally efficient configuration to meet these requirements?Read More →

An events company runs a ticketing platform on AWS.The company’s customers configure and schedule their events on the platform.The events result in large increases of traffic to the platform.The company knows the date and time of each customer’s events.The company runs the platform on an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster.The ECS cluster consists of Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances that are in an Auto Scaling group.The Auto Scaling group uses a predictive scaling policy.The ECS cluster makes frequent requests to an Amazon S3 bucket to download ticket assets.The ECS cluster and the S3 bucket are in the same AWS Region and the same AWS account.Traffic between the ECS cluster and the S3 bucket flows across a NAT gateway.The company needs to optimize the cost of the platform without decreasing the platform’s availability.Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)Read More →

A company is building an image service on the web that will allow users to upload and search random photos.At peak usage, up to 10,000 users worldwide will upload their images.The service will then overlay text on the uploaded images, which will then be published on the company website.Which design should a solutions architect implement?Read More →

A company hosts a software as a service (SaaS) solution on AWS.The solution has an Amazon API Gateway API that serves an HTTPS endpoint.The API uses AWS Lambda functions for compute.The Lambda functions store data in an Amazon Aurora Serverless v1 database.The company used the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) to deploy the solution.The solution extends across multiple Availability Zones and has no disaster recovery (DR) plan.A solutions architect must design a DR strategy that can recover the solution in another AWS Region.The solution has an RTO of 5 minutes and an RPO of 1 minute.What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →

A company runs a serverless application in a single AWS Region.The application accesses external URLs and extracts metadata from those sites.The company uses an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to publish URLs to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue.An AWS Lambda function uses the queue as an event source and processes the URLs from the queue.Results are saved to an Amazon S3 bucket.The company wants to process each URL in other Regions to compare possible differences in site localization.URLs must be published from the existing Region.Results must be written to the existing S3 bucket in the current Region.Which combination of changes will produce multi-Region deployment that meets these requirements? (Choose two.)Read More →

An online survey company runs its application in the AWS Cloud.The application is distributed and consists of microservices that run in an automatically scaled Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster.The ECS cluster is a target for an Application Load Balancer (ALB).The ALB is a custom origin for an Amazon CloudFront distribution.The company has a survey that contains sensitive data.The sensitive data must be encrypted when it moves through the application.The application’s data-handling microservice is the only microservice that should be able to decrypt the dataWhich solution will meet these requirements?Read More →
