A solutions architect is creating a new VPC design. There are two public subnets for the load balancer, two private subnets for web servers, and two private subnets for MySQL. The web servers use only HTTPS. The solutions architect has already created a security group for the load balancer allowing port 443 from
0.0.0.0/0. Company policy requires that each resource has the least access required to still be able to perform its tasks.
Which additional configuration strategy should the solutions architect use to meet these requirements?
C
A company hosts historical weather records in Amazon S3. The records are downloaded from the company's website by a way of a URL that resolves to a domain name. Users all over the world access this content through subscriptions. A third-party provider hosts the company's root domain name, but the company recently migrated some of its services to Amazon Route 53. The company wants to consolidate contracts, reduce latency for users, and reduce costs related to serving the application to subscribers.
Which solution meets these requirements?
B
A company owns an asynchronous API that is used to ingest user requests and, based on the request type, dispatch requests to the appropriate microservice for processing. The company is using Amazon API Gateway to deploy the API front end, and an AWS Lambda function that invokes Amazon DynamoDB to store user requests before dispatching them to the processing microservices.
The company provisioned as much DynamoDB throughput as its budget allows, but the company is still experiencing availability issues and is losing user requests.
What should a solutions architect do to address this issue without impacting existing users?
B
A company is moving its on-premises applications to Amazon EC2 instances. However, as a result of fluctuating compute requirements, the EC2 instances must always be ready to use between 8 AM and 5 PM in specific Availability Zones.
Which EC2 instances should the company choose to run the applications?
A
A company is launching a new application deployed on an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster and is using the Fargate launch type for ECS tasks. The company is monitoring CPU and memory usage because it is expecting high traffic to the application upon its launch. However, the company wants to reduce costs when utilization decreases.
What should a solutions architect recommend?
D
A company is building an application on Amazon EC2 instances that generates temporary transactional data. The application requires access to data storage that can provide configurable and consistent IOPS.
What should a solutions architect recommend?
C
A solutions architect needs to design a resilient solution for Windows users' home directories. The solution must provide fault tolerance, file-level backup and recovery, and access control, based upon the company's Active Directory.
Which storage solution meets these requirements?
B
A company wants to move a multi-tiered application from on premises to the AWS Cloud to improve the application's performance. The application consists of application tiers that communicate with each other by way of RESTful services. Transactions are dropped when one tier becomes overloaded. A solutions architect must design a solution that resolves these issues and modernizes the application.
Which solution meets these requirements and is the MOST operationally efficient?
D
A company serves a multilingual website from a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). This architecture is currently running in the us-west-1 Region but is exhibiting high request latency for users located in other parts of the world.
The website needs to serve requests quickly and efficiently regardless of a user's location. However, the company does not want to recreate the existing architecture across multiple Regions.
How should a solutions architect accomplish this?
B
A software vendor is deploying a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that will be utilized by many AWS users. The service is hosted in a VPC behind a
Network Load Balancer. The software vendor wants to provide access to this service to users with the least amount of administrative overhead and without exposing the service to the public internet.
What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this goal?
