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?

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 →

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 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’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 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 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? (Choose two.)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 →

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 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 →
