A company has a media metadata extraction pipeline running on AWS.Notifications containing a reference to a file in Amazon S3 are sent to an Amazon SimpleNotification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.The pipeline consists of a number of AWS Lambda functions that are subscribed to the SNS topic.The Lambda functions extract the S3 tile and write metadata to an Amazon RDS PostgreSQL DB instance.Users report that updates to the metadata are sometimes slow to appear or are lost.During these times, the CPU utilization on the database is high and the number of failed Lambda invocations increases.Which combination of actions should a solutions architect take to help resolve this issue? (Choose two.)Read More →

A company runs a web application on a single Amazon EC2 instance.End users experience slow application performance during times of peak usage, when CPU utilization is consistently more than 95%.A user data script installs required custom packages on the EC2 instance.The process of launching the instance takes several minutes.The company is creating an Auto Scaling group that has mixed instance groups, varied CPUs, and a maximum capacity limit.The Auto Scaling group will use a launch template for various configuration options.The company needs to decrease application latency when new instances are launched during auto scaling.Which solution will meet these requirements?Read More →

A company is currently running a production workload on AWS that is very I/O intensive.Its workload consists of a single tier with 10 c4.8xlarge instances, each with 2 TB gp2 volumes.The number of processing jobs has recently increased, and latency has increased as well.The team realizes that they are constrained on the IOPS.For the application to perform efficiently, they need to increase the IOPS by 3,000 for each of the instances.Which of the following designs will meet the performance goal MOST cost effectively?Read More →
