A scientific company needs to process text and image data from an Amazon S3 bucket.The data is collected from several radar stations during a live, time-critical phase of a deep space mission.The radar stations upload the data to the source S3 bucket.The data is prefixed by radar station identification number.The company created a destination S3 bucket in a second account.Data must be copied from the source S3 bucket to the destination S3 bucket to meet a compliance objective.This replication occurs through the use of an S3 replication rule to cover all objects in the source S3 bucket.One specific radar station is identified as having the most accurate data.Data replication at this radar station must be monitored for completion within 30 minutes after the radar station uploads the objects to the source S3 bucket.What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?Read More →

A solutions architect has been assigned to migrate a 50 TB Oracle data warehouse that contains sales data from on-premises to Amazon Redshift.Major updates to the sales data occur on the final calendar day of the month.For the remainder of the month, the data warehouse only receives minor daily updates and is primarily used for reading and reporting.Because of this, the migration process must start on the first day of the month and must be complete before the next set of updates occur.This provides approximately 30 days to complete the migration and ensure that the minor daily changes have been synchronized with theAmazon Redshift data warehouse.Because the migration cannot impact normal business network operations, the bandwidth allocated to the migration for moving data over the internet is 50 Mbps.The company wants to keep data migration costs low.Which steps will allow the solutions architect to perform the migration within the specified timeline?Read More →

A company is using AWS CodePipeline for the CI/CD of an application to an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group.All AWS resources are defined in AWS CloudFormation templates.The application artifacts are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket and deployed to the Auto Scaling group using instance user data scripts.As the application has become more complex, recent resource changes in the CloudFormation templates have caused unplanned downtime.How should a solutions architect improve the CI/CD pipeline to reduce the likelihood that changes in the templates will cause downtime?Read More →

A company recently deployed an application on AWS.The application uses Amazon DynamoDB.The company measured the application load and configured the RCUs and WCUs on the DynamoDB table to match the expected peak load.The peak load occurs once a week for a 4-hour period and is double the average load.The application load is close to the average load for the rest of the week.The access pattern includes many more writes to the table than reads of the table.A solutions architect needs to implement a solution to minimize the cost of the table.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A solutions architect at a large company needs to set up network security for outbound traffic to the internet from all AWS accounts within an organization in AWS Organizations.The organization has more than 100 AWS accounts, and the accounts route to each other by using a centralized AWS Transit Gateway.Each account has both an internet gateway and a NAT gateway for outbound traffic to the internet.The company deploys resources only into a single AWS Region.The company needs the ability to add centrally managed rule-based filtering on all outbound traffic to the internet for all AWS accounts in the organization.The peak load of outbound traffic will not exceed 25 Gbps in each Availability Zone.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company that tracks medical devices in hospitals wants to migrate its existing storage solution to the AWS Cloud.The company equips all of its devices with sensors that collect location and usage information.This sensor data is sent in unpredictable patterns with large spikes.The data is stored in a MySQL database running on premises at each hospital.The company wants the cloud storage solution to scale with usage.The company’s analytics team uses the sensor data to calculate usage by device type and hospital.The team needs to keep analysis tools running locally while fetching data from the cloud.The team also needs to use existing Java application and SQL queries with as few changes as possible.How should a solutions architect meet these requirements while ensuring the sensor data is secure?Read More →

A company hosts a community forum site using an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and a Docker application hosted in an Amazon ECS cluster.The site data is stored in Amazon RDS for MySQL and the container image is stored in ECR.The company needs to provide their customers with a disaster recovery SLA with an RTO of no more than 24 hours and RPO of no more than 8 hours.Which of the following solutions is the MOST cost-effective way to meet the requirements?Read More →

A company has a web application that allows users to upload short videos.The videos are stored on Amazon EBS volumes and analyzed by custom recognition software for categorization.The website contains static content that has variable traffic with peaks in certain months.The architecture consists of Amazon EC2 instances running in an AutoScaling group for the web application and EC2 instances running in an Auto Scaling group to process an Amazon SQS-queue.The company wants to re-architect the application to reduce operational overhead using AWS managed services where possible and remove dependencies on third-party software.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A company is running an application on Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud.The application is using a MongoDB database with a replica set as its data tier.The MongoDB database is installed on systems in the company’s on-premises data center and is accessible through an AWS Direct Connect connection to the data center environment.A solutions architect must migrate the on-premises MongoDB database to Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility).Which strategy should the solutions architect choose to perform this migration?Read More →
