Question # 122

A company has an application that stores user-uploaded videos in an Amazon S3 bucket that uses S3 Standard storage. Users access the videos frequently in the first 180 days after the videos are uploaded. Access after 180 days is rare. Named users and anonymous users access the videos. Most of the videos are more than 100 MB in size. Users often have poor internet connectivity when they upload videos, resulting in failed uploads. The company uses multipart uploads for the videos. A solutions architect needs to optimize the S3 costs of the application. Which combination of actions will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

Configure the S3 bucket to be a Requester Pays bucket.

Use S3 Transfer Acceleration to upload the videos to the S3 bucket.

Create an S3 Lifecycle configuration to expire incomplete multipart uploads 7 days after initiation.

Create an S3 Lifecycle configuration to transition objects to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval after 1 day.

Create an S3 Lifecycle configuration to transition objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) after 180 days.

Question # 123

A utility company collects usage data from smart meters every 5 minutes. Data is sent to API Gateway, processed by Lambda, and stored in DynamoDB. As usage increased, Lambda durations increased and DynamoDB PUTs failed with ProvisionedThroughputExceededException. Lambda also experiences TooManyRequestsException errors.

Which combination of changes will resolve these issues? (Select TWO.)

Increase the write capacity units to the DynamoDB table.

Increase the memory available to the Lambda functions.

Increase the payload size from the smart meters.

Stream the data into an Amazon Kinesis data stream from API Gateway and process the data in batches.

Collect data in an Amazon SQS FIFO queue, which triggers a Lambda function to process each message.

Question # 124

A company that uses AWS Organizations allows developers to experiment on AWS. As part of the landing zone that the company has deployed, developers use their company email address to request an account. The company wants to ensure that developers are not launching costly services or running services unnecessarily. The company must give developers a fixed monthly budget to limit their AWS costs.

Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

Create an SCP to set a fixed monthly account usage limit. Apply the SCP to the developer accounts.

Use AWS Budgets to create a fixed monthly budget for each developer ' s account as part of the account creation process.

Create an SCP to deny access to costly services and components. Apply the SCP to the developer accounts.

Create an IAM policy to deny access to costly services and components. Apply the IAM policy to the developer accounts.

Create an AWS Budgets alert action to terminate services when the budgeted amount is reached. Configure the action to terminate all services.

Create an AWS Budgets alert action to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification when the budgeted amount is reached. Invoke an AWS Lambda function to terminate all services.

Answer:

B, C, F

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because creating an SCP to set a fixed monthly account usage limit is not possible. SCPs are policies that specify the services and actions that users and roles can use in the member accounts of an AWS Organization. SCPscannot enforce budget limits or prevent users from launching costly services or running services unnecessarily1

Option B is correct because using AWS Budgets to create a fixed monthly budget for each developer’s account as part of the account creation process meets the requirement of giving developers a fixed monthly budget to limit their AWS costs. AWS Budgets allows you to plan your service usage, service costs, and instance reservations. You can create budgets that alert you when your costs or usage exceed (or are forecasted to exceed) your budgeted amount2

Option C is correct because creating an SCP to deny access to costly services and components meets the requirement of ensuring that developers are not launching costly services or running services unnecessarily. SCPs can restrict access to certain AWS services or actions based on conditions such as region, resource tags, or request time. For example, an SCP can deny access to Amazon Redshift clusters or Amazon EC2 instances with certain instance types1

Option D is incorrect because creating an IAM policy to deny access to costly services and components is not sufficient to meet the requirement of ensuring that developers are not launching costly services or running services unnecessarily. IAM policies can only control access to resources within a single AWS account. If developers have multiple accounts or can create new accounts, they can bypass the IAMpolicy restrictions. SCPs can apply across multiple accounts within an AWS Organization and prevent users from creating new accounts that do not comply with the SCP rules3

Option E is incorrect because creating an AWS Budgets alert action to terminate services when the budgeted amount is reached is not possible. AWS Budgets alert actions can only perform one of the following actions: apply an IAM policy, apply an SCP, or send a notification through Amazon SNS.AWS Budgets alert actions cannot terminate services directly.

Option F is correct because creating an AWS Budgets alert action to send an Amazon SNS notification when the budgeted amount is reached and invoking an AWS Lambda function to terminate all services meets the requirement of giving developers a fixed monthly budget to limit their AWS costs. AWS Budgets alert actions can send notifications through Amazon SNS when a budget threshold is breached. Amazon SNS can trigger an AWS Lambda function that can perform custom logic such as terminating all services in the developer’s account. This way, developers cannot exceed their budget limit and incur additional costs.

Question # 125

A company has many separate AWS accounts and uses no central billing or management. Each AWS account hosts services for different departments in the company. The company has a Microsoft Azure Active Directory that is deployed.

A solution architect needs to centralize billing and management of the company’s AWS accounts. The company wants to start using identify federation instead of manual user management. The company also wants to use temporary credentials instead of long-lived access keys.

Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select THREE)

Create a new AWS account to serve as a management account. Deploy an organization in AWS Organizations. Invite each existing AWS account to join the organization. Ensure that each account accepts the invitation.

Configure each AWS Account’s email address to be aws+ < account id > @example.com so that account management email messages and invoices are sent to the same place.

Deploy AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On) in the management account. Connect IAM Identity Center to the Azure Active Directory. Configure IAM Identity Center for automatic synchronization of users and groups.

Deploy an AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory in the management account. Share the directory with all other accounts in the organization by using AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM).

Create AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On) permission sets. Attach the permission sets to the appropriate IAM Identity Center groups and AWS accounts.

Configure AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) in each AWS account to use AWS Managed Microsoft AD for authentication and authorization.
