A company is changing the way that it handles patching of Amazon EC2 instances in its application account.The company currently patches instances over the internet by using a NAT gateway in a VPC in the application account.The company has EC2 instances set up as a patch source repository in a dedicated private VPC in a core account.The company wants to use AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager and the patch source repository in the core account to patch the EC2 instances in the application account.The company must prevent all EC2 instances in the application account from accessing the internet.The EC2 instances in the application account need to access Amazon S3, where the application data is stored.These EC2 instances need connectivity to Systems Manager and to the patch source repository in the private VPC in the core account.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company is running a data-intensive application on AWS.The application runs on a cluster of hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances.A shared file system also runs on several EC2 instances that store 200 TB of data.The application reads and modifies the data on the shared file system and generates a report.The job runs once monthly, reads a subset of the files from the shared file system, and takes about 72 hours to complete.The compute instances scale in an Auto Scaling group, but the instances that host the shared the system run continuously.The compute and storage instances are all in the same AWS Region.A solutions architect needs to reduce costs by replacing the shared file system instances.The file system must provide high performance access to the needed data for the duration of the 72-hour run.Which solution will provide the LARGEST overall cost reduction while meeting these requirements?Read More →

A company hosts a VPN in an on-premises data center.Employees currently connect to the VPN to access files in their Windows home directories.Recently, there has been a large growth in the number of employees who work remotely.As a result, bandwidth usage for connections into the data center has begun to reach 100% during business hours.The company must design a solution on AWS that will support the growth of the company’s remote workforce, reduce the bandwidth usage for connections into the data center, and reduce operational overhead.Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

A company has a website that serves many visitors.The company deploys a backend service for the website in a primary AWS Region and a disaster recovery (DR) Region.A single Amazon CloudFront distribution is deployed for the website.The company creates an Amazon Route 53 record set with health checks and a failover routing policy for the primary Region’s backend service.The company configures the Route 53 record set as an origin for the CloudFront distribution.The company configures another record set that points to the backend service’s endpoint in the DR Region as a secondary failover record type.The TTL for both record sets is 60 seconds.Currently, failover takes more than 1 minute.A solutions architect must design a solution that will provide the fastest failover time.Which solution will achieve this goal?Read More →
