A company hosts a website on premises and wants to migrate it to the AWS Cloud. The website exposes a single hostname to the internet but it routes its functions to different on-premises server groups based on the path of the URL. The server groups are scaled independently depending on the needs of the functions they support. The company has an AWS Direct Connect connection configured to its on-premises network.
What should a solutions architect do to provide path-based routing to send the traffic to the correct group of servers?
B
An application uses an Amazon RDS MySQL DB instance. The RDS database is becoming low on disk space. A solutions architect wants to increase the disk space without downtime. Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of effort?
A
An ecommerce website is deploying its web application as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) container instances behind an Application Load
Balancer (ALB). During periods of high activity, the website slows down and availability is reduced. A solutions architect uses Amazon CloudWatch alarms to receive notifications whenever there is an availability issue so they can scale out resources. Company management wants a solution that automatically responds to such events.
Which solution meets these requirements?
A
A company has a website deployed on AWS. The database backend is hosted on Amazon RDS for MySQL with a primary instance and five read replicas to support scaling needs. The read replicas should lag no more than 1 second behind the primary instance to support the user experience.
As traffic on the website continues to increase, the replicas are falling further behind during periods of peak load, resulting in complaints from users when searches yield inconsistent results. A solutions architect needs to reduce the replication lag as much as possible, with minimal changes to the application code or operational requirements.
Which solution meets these requirements?
B
A company has an API-based inventory reporting application running on Amazon EC2 instances. The application stores information in an Amazon DynamoDB table. The company's distribution centers have an on-premises shipping application that calls an API to update the inventory before printing shipping labels. The company has been experiencing application interruptions several times each day, resulting in lost transactions.
What should a solutions architect recommend to improve application resiliency?
A
A company has a three-tier environment on AWS that ingests sensor data from its users' devices. The traffic flows through a Network Load Balancer (NLB) then to
Amazon EC2 instances for the web tier, and finally toEC2 instances for the application tier that makes database calls.
What should a solutions architect do to improve the security of data in transit to the web tier?
C
A company runs an online marketplace web application on AWS. The application serves hundreds of thousands of users during peak hours. The company needs a scalable, near-real-time solution to share the details of millions of financial transactions with several other internal applications. Transactions also need to be processed to remove sensitive data before being stored in a document database for low-latency retrieval.
What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?
C
A company has a dynamic web application hosted on two Amazon EC2 instances. The company has its own SSL certificate, which is on each instance to perform
SSL termination.
There has been an increase in traffic recently, and the operations team determined that SSL encryption and decryption is causing the compute capacity of the web servers to reach their maximum limit.
What should a solutions architect do to increase the application's performance?
D
A web application must persist order data to Amazon S3 to support neat-real time processing. A solutions architect needs create an architecture that is both scalable and fault tolerant.
Which solutions meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
BE
A company has an application hosted on Amazon EC2 instances in two VPCs across different AWS Regions. To communicate with each other, the instances use the internet for connectivity. The security team wants to ensure that no communication between the instances happens over the internet.
What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this?
D
