A solutions architect must implement a multi-Region architecture for an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database that supports a web application.The database launches from an AWS CloudFormation template that includes AWS services and features that are present in both the primary and secondary Regions.The database is configured for automated backups, and it has an RTO of 15 minutes and an RPO of 2 hours.The web application is configured to use an Amazon Route 53 record to route traffic to the database.Which combination of steps will result in a highly available architecture that meets all the requirements?

A video processing company wants to build a machine learning (ML) model by using 600 TB of compressed data that is stored as thousands of files in the company’s on-premises network attached storage system.The company does not have the necessary compute resources on premises for ML experiments and wants to use AWS.The company needs to complete the data transfer to AWS within 3 weeks.The data transfer will be a one-time transfer.The data must be encrypted in transit.The measured upload speed of the company’s internet connection is 100 Mbps, and multiple departments share the connection.Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?Read More →

A solutions architect has deployed a web application that serves users across two AWS Regions under a custom domain.The application uses Amazon Route 53 latency-based routing.The solutions architect has associated weighted record sets with a pair of web servers in separate Availability Zones for each Region.The solutions architect runs a disaster recovery scenario.When all the web servers in one Region are stopped, Route 53 does not automatically redirect users to the other Region.Which of the following are possible root causes of this issue? (Choose two.)Read More →

A company wants to change its internal cloud billing strategy for each of its business units.Currently, the cloud governance team shares reports for overall cloud spending with the head of each business unit.The company uses AWS Organizations to manage the separate AWS accounts for each business unit.The existing tagging standard in Organizations includes the application, environment, and owner.The cloud governance team wants a centralized solution so each business unit receives monthly reports on its cloud spending.The solution should also send notifications for any cloud spending that exceeds a set threshold.Which solution is the MOST cost-effective way to meet these requirements?Read More →

A solutions architect needs to migrate an on-premises legacy application to AWS. The application runs on two servers behind a load balancer. The application requires a license file that is associated with the MAC address of the server’s network adapter It takes the software vendor 12 hours to send new license files. The application also uses configuration files with a static IP address to access a database server, host names are not supported.Given these requirements, which combination of steps should be taken to implement highly available architecture for the application servers in AWS? (Choose two.)Read More →

A company uses AWS Organizations for a multi-account setup in the AWS Cloud.The company uses AWS Control Tower for governance and uses AWS Transit Gateway for VPC connectivity across accounts.In an AWS application account, the company’s application team has deployed a web application that uses AWS Lambda and Amazon RDS.The company’s database administrators have a separate DBA account and use the account to centrally manage all the databases across the organization.The database administrators use an Amazon EC2 instance that is deployed in the DBA account to access an RDS database that is deployed in the application account.The application team has stored the database credentials as secrets in AWS Secrets Manager in the application account.The application team is manually sharing the secrets with the database administrators.The secrets are encrypted by the default AWS managed key for Secrets Manager in the application account.A solutions architect needs to implement a solution that gives the database administrators access to the database and eliminates the need to manually share the secrets.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

Accompany is deploying a new cluster for big data analytics on AWS.The cluster will run across many Linux Amazon EC2 instances that are spread across multiple Availability Zones.All of the nodes in the cluster must have read and write access to common underlying file storage.The file storage must be highly available, must be resilient, must be compatible with the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), and must accommodate high levels of throughput.Which storage solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company hosts a legacy application that runs on an Amazon EC2 instance inside a VPC without internet access.Users access the application with a desktop program installed on their corporate laptops.Communication between the laptops and the VPC flows through AWS Direct Connect (DX).A new requirement states that all data in transit must be encrypted between users and the VPC.Which strategy should a solutions architect use to maintain consistent network performance while meeting this new requirement?Read More →

A software as a service (SaaS) based company provides a case management solution to customers A3 part of the solution.The company uses a standalone Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to send email messages from an application.The application also stores an email template for acknowledgement email messages that populate customer data before the application sends the email message to the customer.The company plans to migrate this messaging functionality to the AWS Cloud and needs to minimize operational overhead.Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?Read More →

A company wants to use Amazon WorkSpaces in combination with thin client devices to replace aging desktops.Employees use the desktops to access applications that work with clinical trial data.Corporate security policy states that access to the applications must be restricted to only company branch office locations.The company is considering adding an additional branch office in the next 6 months.Which solution meets these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?Read More →
