Question # 16

A company needs to optimize the infrastructure for an application that uploads data to Amazon S3. The uploads average 64 KB in size. When the data is uploaded, Amazon S3 sends an event to Amazon EventBridge. EventBridge then invokes an Amazon ECS application task.

The ECS task processes the data and stores the results in an Amazon DynamoDB table. Processing takes an average of 15 minutes. The company must keep the S3 data for 5 years and must keep the DynamoDB data for 15 days.

The application is gaining more users and is handling millions of S3 uploads every hour.

Which set of changes will provide the MOST cost-effective solution for the application?

Replace the ECS task with an AWS Lambda function for processing. Create S3 Lifecycle rules to move the S3 objects to S3 Intelligent-Tiering after 1 day and to expire the objects after 5 years. Configure DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access for the DynamoDB table.

Replace the S3 bucket with Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) to receive the data. Configure tiered storage for data that is older than 1 day. Configure EventBridge to read messages from Amazon MSK in batches of 1,000 messages. Replace the ECS task with an AWS Lambda function for processing. Configure a TTL of 15 days on the DynamoDB table.

Create an Amazon Data Firehose stream to receive the data. Configure buffering to deliver messages every minute to Amazon S3 in gzip format. Purchase a Compute Savings Plan based on usage recommendations. Create S3 Lifecycle rules to move the S3 objects to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 1 day and to expire the objects after 5 years. Configure a TTL of 15 days on the DynamoDB table.

Question # 17

A solutions architect has created a single VPC on AWS. The VPC has one internet gateway and one NAT gateway. The VPC extends across three Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone includes one public subnet and one private subnet. The three private subnets contain Amazon EC2 instances that must be able to connect to the internet.

Which solution will increase the network resiliency of this architecture?

Add two NAT gateways so that each Availability Zone has a NAT gateway. Configure a route table for each private subnet to send traffic to the NAT gateway in the subnet ' s Availability Zone.

Question # 18

A company runs an application across three AWS accounts. The company uses an organization in AWS Organizations to manage the AWS accounts. One account hosts a development environment. The second account hosts a testing environment. The third account hosts a production environment. The application runs on Amazon ECS with the AWS Fargate launch type. The application stores data in an Amazon Aurora MySQL database.

The company expects production environment traffic to be consistent and predictable for the next year. The production environment remains active throughout each week. However, the development environment and the testing environment shut down during weekends and 12 hours each weekday.

The company wants to optimize costs for the application.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

Question # 19

A company has many AWS accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations. The accounts contain many Amazon EC2 instances that run different types of workloads. The workloads have different usage patterns.

The company needs recommendations for how to rightsize the EC2 instances based on CPU and memory usage during the last 90 days.

Which combination of steps will provide these recommendations? (Select THREE.)

Question # 20

A company gives users the ability to upload images from a custom application. The upload process invokes an AWS Lambda function that processes and stores the image in an Amazon S3 bucket. The application invokes the Lambda function by using a specific function version ARN.

The Lambda function accepts image processing parameters by using environment variables. The company often adjusts the environment variables of the Lambda function to achieve optimal image processing output. The company tests different parameters and publishes a new function version with the updated environment variables after validating results. This update process also requires frequent changes to the custom application to invoke the new function version ARN. These changes cause interruptions for users.

A solutions architect needs to simplify this process to minimize disruption to users.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Directly modify the environment variables of the published Lambda function version. Use the SLATEST version to test image processing parameters.

Create an Amazon DynamoDB table to store the image processing parameters. Modify the Lambda function to retrieve the image processing parameters from the DynamoDB table.

Directly code the image processing parameters within the Lambda function and remove the environment variables. Publish a new function version when the company updates the parameters.

Create a Lambda function alias. Modify the client application to use the function alias ARN. Reconfigure the Lambda alias to point to new versions of the function when the company finishes testing.

Question # 21

A solutions architect is designing the data storage and retrieval architecture for a new application that a company will be launching soon. The application is designed to ingest millions of small records per minute from devices all around the world. Each record is less than 4 KB in size and needs to be stored in a durable location where it can be retrieved with low latency. The data is ephemeral and the company is required to store the data for 120 days only, after which the data can be deleted.

The solutions architect calculates that, during the course of a year, the storage requirements would be about 10-15 TB.

Which storage strategy is the MOST cost-effective and meets the design requirements?

Design the application to store each incoming record as a single .csv file in an Amazon S3 bucket to allow for indexed retrieval. Configure a lifecycle policy to delete data older than 120 days.

Design the application to store each incoming record in an Amazon DynamoDB table properly configured for the scale. Configure the DynamoOB Time to Live (TTL) feature to delete records older than 120 days.

Design the application to store each incoming record in a single table in an Amazon RDS MySQL database. Run a nightly cron job that executes a query to delete any records older than 120 days.

Design the application to batch incoming records before writing them to an Amazon S3 bucket. Update the metadata for the object to contain the list of records in the batch and use the Amazon S3 metadata search feature to retrieve the data. Configure a lifecycle policy to delete the data after 120 days.

Question # 22

A company’s solutions architect is evaluating an AWS workload that was deployed several years ago. The application tier is stateless and runs on a single large Amazon EC2 instance that was launched from an AMI. The application stores data in a MySOL database that runs on a single EC2 instance.

The CPU utilization on the application server EC2 instance often reaches 100% and causes the application to stop responding. The company manually installs patches on the instances. Patching has caused

downtime in the past. The company needs to make the application highly available.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST development time?

Migrate the database to Amazon Aurora MySQL.

Question # 23

A company runs a serverless ecommerce application on AWS. The application uses API Gateway to invoke Java Lambda functions that connect to an Amazon RDS for MySQL database. During a sale event, traffic spikes caused slow performance and DB connection failures.

Which solution will improve performance with the LEAST application change?

Question # 24

A company has an organization that has many AWS accounts in AWS Organizations. A solutions architect must improve how the company manages common security group rules for the AWS accounts in the organization.

The company has a common set of IP CIDR ranges in an allow list in each AWS account to allow access to and from the company ' s on-premises network.

Developers within each account are responsible for adding new IP CIDR ranges to their security groups. The security team has its own AWS account. Currently, the security team notifies the owners of the other AWS accounts when changes are made to the allow list.

The solutions architect must design a solution that distributes the common set of CIDR ranges across all accounts.

Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
