Solutions Architect Professional (Page 39)

A life sciences company is using a combination of open source tools to manage data analysis workflows and Docker containers running on servers in its on-premises data center to process genomics data.Sequencing data is generated and stored on a local storage area network (SAN), and then the data is processed.The research and development teams are running into capacity issues and have decided to re-architect their genomics analysis platform on AWS to scale based on workload demands and reduce the turnaround time from weeks to days.The company has a high-speed AWS Direct Connect connection.Sequencers will generate around 200 GB of data for each genome, and individual jobs can take several hours to process the data with ideal compute capacity.The end result will be stored in Amazon S3.The company is expecting 10-15 job requests each day.Which solution meets these requirements?Read More →

A Solutions Architect is designing a highly available and reliable solution for a cluster of Amazon EC2 instances.The Solutions Architect must ensure that any EC2 instance within the cluster recovers automatically after a system failure.The solution must ensure that the recovered instance maintains the same IP address.How can these requirements be met?Read More →

A solutions architect must analyze a company’s Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes to determine whether the company is using resources efficiently.The company is running several large, high-memory EC2 instances to host database clusters that are deployed in active/passive configurations.The utilization of these EC2 instances varies by the applications that use the databases, and the company has not identified a pattern.The solutions architect must analyze the environment and take action based on the findings.Which solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?Read More →

A software company hosts an application on AWS with resources in multiple AWS accounts and Regions.The application runs on a group of Amazon EC2 instances in an application VPC located in the us-east-1 Region with an IPv4 CIDR block of 10.10.0.0/16.In a different AWS account, a shared services VPC is located in the us-east-2 Region with an IPv4 CIDR block of 10.10.10.0/24.When a cloud engineer uses AWS CloudFormation to attempt to peer the application VPC with the shared services VPC, an error message indicates a peering failure.Which factors could cause this error? (Choose two.)Read More →

An organization is setting up a backup and restore system in AWS of their in premise system.The organization needs High Availability(HA) and Disaster Recovery(DR) but is okay to have a longer recovery time to save costs.Which of the below mentioned setup options helps achieve the objective of cost saving as well as DR in the most effective way?Read More →

A delivery company needs to migrate its third-party route planning application to AWS.The third party supplies a supported Docker image from a public registry.The image can run in as many containers as required to generate the route map.The company has divided the delivery area into sections with supply hubs so that delivery drivers travel the shortest distance possible from the hubs to the customers.To reduce the time necessary to generate route maps, each section uses its own set of Docker containers with a custom configuration that processes orders only in the section’s area.The company needs the ability to allocate resources cost-effectively based on the number of running containers.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →
