Individual backup files need to be accessed with low latency by application administrators to deal with errors in processing.
What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

  • A. Modify the script to copy data to an Amazon S3 bucket instead of the on-premises NFS share.
  • B. Modify the script to copy data to an Amazon S3 Glacier Archive instead of the on-premises NFS share.
  • C. Modify the script to copy data to an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) volume instead of the on-premises NFS share.
  • D. Modify the script to copy data to an AWS Storage Gateway for File Gateway virtual appliance instead of the on-premises NFS share.

Question#14

An application requires a development environment (DEV) and production environment (PROD) for several years. The DEV instances will run for 10 hours each day during normal business hours, while the PROD instances will run 24 hours each day. A solutions architect needs to determine a compute instance purchase strategy to minimize costs.
Which solution is the MOST cost-effective?

  • A. DEV with Spot Instances and PROD with On-Demand Instances
  • B. DEV with On-Demand Instances and PROD with Spot Instances
  • C. DEV with Scheduled Reserved Instances and PROD with Reserved Instances
  • D. DEV with On-Demand Instances and PROD with Scheduled Reserved Instances

Question#15

A company runs multiple Amazon EC2 Linux instances in a VPC across two Availability Zones. The instances host applications that use a hierarchical directory structure. The applications need to read and write rapidly and concurrently to shared storage.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

  • A. Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system. Mount the EFS file system from each EC2 instance.
  • B. Create an Amazon S3 bucket. Allow access from all the EC2 instances in the VPC.
  • C. Create a file system on a Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. Attach the EBS volume to all the EC2 instances.
  • D. Create file systems on Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are attached to each EC2 instance. Synchronize the EBS volumes across the different EC2 instances.

Question#16

A solutions architect observes that a nightly batch processing job is automatically scaled up for 1 hour before the desired Amazon EC2 capacity is reached. The peak capacity is the same every night and the batch jobs always start at 1 AM. The solutions architect needs to find a cost-effective solution that will allow for the desired EC2 capacity to be reached quickly and allow the Auto Scaling group to scale down after the batch jobs are complete.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

  • A. Increase the minimum capacity for the Auto Scaling group.
  • B. Increase the maximum capacity for the Auto Scaling group.
  • C. Configure scheduled scaling to scale up to the desired compute level.
  • D. Change the scaling policy to add more EC2 instances during each scaling operation.

Question#17

A Solutions Architect must design a web application that will be hosted on AWS, allowing users to purchase access to premium, shared content that is stored in an
S3 bucket. Upon payment, content will be available for download for 14 days before the user is denied access.
Which of the following would be the LEAST complicated implementation?

  • A. Use an Amazon CloudFront distribution with an origin access identity (OAI). Configure the distribution with an Amazon S3 origin to provide access to the file through signed URLs. Design a Lambda function to remove data that is older than 14 days.
  • B. Use an S3 bucket and provide direct access to the file. Design the application to track purchases in a DynamoDB table. Configure a Lambda function to remove data that is older than 14 days based on a query to Amazon DynamoDB.
  • C. Use an Amazon CloudFront distribution with an OAI. Configure the distribution with an Amazon S3 origin to provide access to the file through signed URLs. Design the application to set an expiration of 14 days for the URL.
  • D. Use an Amazon CloudFront distribution with an OAI. Configure the distribution with an Amazon S3 origin to provide access to the file through signed URLs. Design the application to set an expiration of 60 minutes for the URL and recreate the URL as necessary.
