Topic 4: Exam Pool D
A company runs its applications on Amazon EC2 instances. The company performs periodic financial assessments of its AWS costs. The company recently identified unusual spending. The company needs a solution to prevent unusual spending. The solution must monitor costs and notify responsible stakeholders in the event of unusual spending. Which solution will meet these requirements?
A. Use an AWS Budgets template to create a zero spend budget
B. Create an AWS Cost Anomaly Detection monitor in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console.
C. CreateAWS Pricing Calculator estimates for the current running workload pricing details_
D. Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor costs and to identify unusual spending
Explanation: it allows the company to monitor costs and notify responsible stakeholders in the event of unusual spending. By creating an AWS Cost Anomaly Detection monitor in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console, the company can use a machine learning service that automatically detects and alerts on anomalous spend. By configuring alert thresholds, notification preferences, and root cause analysis, the company can prevent unusual spending and identify its source.

Creating a Cost Anomaly Monitor
A company wants to migrate an on-premises data center to AWS. The data canter hosts an SFTP server that stores its data on an NFS-based file system. The server holds 200 GB of data that needs to be transferred. The server must be hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance that uses an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system
When combination of steps should a solutions architect take to automate this task? (Select TWO )
A. Launch the EC2 instance into the same Avalability Zone as the EFS fie system
B. install an AWS DataSync agent m the on-premises data center
C. Create a secondary Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume on the EC2 instance tor the data
D. Manually use an operating system copy command to push the data to the EC2 instance
E. Use AWS DataSync to create a suitable location configuration for the onprermises SFTP server
Explanation: AWS DataSync is an online data movement and discovery service that simplifies data migration and helps users quickly, easily, and securely move their file or object data to, from, and between AWS storage services1. Users can use AWS DataSync to transfer data between on-premises and AWS storage services. To use AWS DataSync, users need to install an AWS DataSync agent in the on-premises data center. The agent is a software appliance that connects to the source or destination storage system and handles the data transfer to or from AWS over the network2. Users also need to use AWS DataSync to create a suitable location configuration for the on-premises SFTP server. A location is a logical representation of a storage system that contains files or objects that users want to transfer using DataSync. Users can create locations for NFS shares, SMB shares, HDFS file systems, self-managed object storage, Amazon S3 buckets, Amazon EFS file systems, Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file systems, Amazon FSx for Lustre file systems, Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems, Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems, and AWS Snowcone devices3.
A company has deployed its newest product on AWS. The product runs in an Auto Scaling group behind a Network Load Balancer. The company stores the product's objects in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company recently experienced malicious attacks against its systems. The company needs a solution that continuously monitors for malicious activity in the AWS account, workloads, and access patterns to the S3 bucket. The solution must also report suspicious activity and display the information on a dashboard. Which solution will meet these requirements?
A. Configure Amazon Made to monitor and report findings to AWS Config.
B. Configure Amazon Inspector to monitor and report findings to AWS CloudTrail.
C. Configure Amazon GuardDuty to monitor and report findings to AWS Security Hub.
D. Configure AWS Config to monitor and report findings to Amazon EventBridge.
Explanation: Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior across the AWS account and workloads. GuardDuty analyzes data sources such as AWS CloudTrail event logs, Amazon VPC Flow Logs, and DNS logs to identify potential threats such as compromised instances, reconnaissance, port scanning, and data exfiltration. GuardDuty can report its findings to AWS Security Hub, which is a service that provides a comprehensive view of the security posture of the AWS account and workloads. Security Hub aggregates, organizes, and prioritizes security alerts from multiple AWS services and partner solutions, and displays them on a dashboard. This solution will meet the requirements, as it enables continuous monitoring, reporting, and visualization of malicious activity in the AWS account, workloads, and access patterns to the S3 bucket.
A gaming company uses Amazon DynamoDB to store user information such as geographic location, player data, and leaderboards. The company needs to configure continuous backups to an Amazon S3 bucket with a minimal amount of coding. The backups must not affect availability of the application and must not affect the read capacity units (RCUs) that are defined for the table Which solution meets these requirements?
A. Use an Amazon EMR cluster. Create an Apache Hive job to back up the data to Amazon S3.
B. Export the data directly from DynamoDB to Amazon S3 with continuous backups. Turn on point-in-time recovery for the table.
C. Configure Amazon DynamoDB Streams. Create an AWS Lambda function to consume the stream and export the data to an Amazon S3 bucket.
D. Create an AWS Lambda function to export the data from the database tables to Amazon S3 on a regular basis. Turn on point-in-time recovery for the table.
A solutions architect is designing a new hybrid architecture to extend a company s on- premises infrastructure to AWS The company requires a highly available connection with consistent low latency to an AWS Region. The company needs to minimize costs and is willing to accept slower traffic if the primary connection fails.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
A. Provision an AWS Direct Connect connection to a Region Provision a VPN connection as a backup if the primary Direct Connect connection fails.
B. Provision a VPN tunnel connection to a Region for private connectivity. Provision a second VPN tunnel for private connectivity and as a backup if the primary VPN connection fails.
C. Provision an AWS Direct Connect connection to a Region Provision a second Direct Connect connection to the same Region as a backup if the primary Direct Connect connection fails.
D. Provision an AWS Direct Connect connection to a Region Use the Direct Connect failover attribute from the AWS CLI to automatically create a backup connection if the primary Direct Connect connection fails.
Explanation: "In some cases, this connection alone is not enough. It is always better to guarantee a fallback connection as the backup of DX. There are several options, but implementing it with an AWS Site-To-Site VPN is a real cost-effective solution that can be exploited to reduce costs or, in the meantime, wait for the setup of a second DX."
