Topic 1: Exam Pool A
A company is planning to use an Amazon DynamoDB table for data storage. The company is concerned about cost optimization. The table will not be used on most mornings. In the evenings, the read and write traffic will often be unpredictable. When traffic spikes occur, they will happen very quickly.
What should a solutions architect recommend?
A. Create a DynamoDB table in on-demand capacity mode.
B. Create a DynamoDB table with a global secondary index.
C. Create a DynamoDB table with provisioned capacity and auto scaling.
D. Create a DynamoDB table in provisioned capacity mode, and configure it as a global table.
A company has deployed a database in Amazon RDS for MySQL. Due to increased transactions, the database support team is reporting slow reads against the DB instance and recommends adding a read replica. Which combination of actions should a solutions architect take before implementing this change? (Choose two.)
A. Enable binlog replication on the RDS primary node.
B. Choose a failover priority for the source DB instance.
C. Allow long-running transactions to complete on the source DB instance.
D. Create a global table and specify the AWS Regions where the table will be available.
E. Enable automatic backups on the source instance by setting the backup retention period to a value other than 0.
Explanation: "An active, long-running transaction can slow the process of creating the read replica. We recommend that you wait for long-running transactions to complete before creating a read replica. If you create multiple read replicas in parallel from the same source DB instance, Amazon RDS takes only one snapshot at the start of the first create action. When creating a read replica, there are a few things to consider. First, you must enable automatic backups on the source DB instance by setting the backup retention period to a value other than 0. This requirement also applies to a read replica that is the source DB instance for another read replica" https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ReadRepl.html
A company is migrating a distributed application to AWS The application serves variable workloads The legacy platform consists of a primary server trial coordinates jobs across multiple compute nodes The company wants to modernize the application with a solution that maximizes resiliency and scalability.
How should a solutions architect design the architecture to meet these requirements?
A. Configure an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue as a destination for the jobs Implement the compute nodes with Amazon EC2 instances that are managed in an Auto Scaling group. Configure EC2 Auto Scaling to use scheduled scaling
B. Configure an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue as a destination for the jobs Implement the compute nodes with Amazon EC2 Instances that are managed in an Auto Scaling group Configure EC2 Auto Scaling based on the size of the queue
C. Implement the primary server and the compute nodes with Amazon EC2 instances that are managed In an Auto Scaling group. Configure AWS CloudTrail as a destination for the fobs Configure EC2 Auto Scaling based on the load on the primary server
D. implement the primary server and the compute nodes with Amazon EC2 instances that are managed in an Auto Scaling group Configure Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) as a destination for the jobs Configure EC2 Auto Scaling based on the load on the compute nodes
Explanation: To maximize resiliency and scalability, the best solution is to use an Amazon SQS queue as a destination for the jobs. This decouples the primary server from the compute nodes, allowing them to scale independently. This also helps to prevent job loss in the event of a failure. Using an Auto Scaling group of Amazon EC2 instances for the compute nodes allows for automatic scaling based on the workload. In this case, it's recommended to configure the Auto Scaling group based on the size of the Amazon SQS queue, which is a better indicator of the actual workload than the load on the primary server or compute nodes. This approach ensures that the application can handle variable workloads, while also minimizing costs by automatically scaling up or down the compute nodes as needed.
A company wants to run its critical applications in containers to meet requirements tor scalability and availability The company prefers to focus on maintenance of the critical applications The company does not want to be responsible for provisioning and managing the underlying infrastructure that runs the containerized workload
What should a solutions architect do to meet those requirements?
A. Use Amazon EC2 Instances, and Install Docker on the Instances
B. Use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on Amazon EC2 worker nodes
C. Use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on AWS Fargate
D. Use Amazon EC2 instances from an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)- op6mized Amazon Machine Image (AMI).
A company wants lo build a web application on AWS. Client access requests to the website are not predictable and can be idle for a long time. Only customers who have paid a subscription fee can have the ability to sign in and use the web application. Which combination of steps will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively? (Select THREE.)
A. Create an AWS Lambda function to retrieve user information from Amazon DynamoDCreate an Amazon API Gateway endpoint to accept RESTful APIs. Send the API calls to the Lambda function.
B. Create an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) service behind an Application Load Balancer to retrieve user information from Amazon RDS. Create an Amazon API Gateway endpoint to accept RESTful APIs. Send the API calls to the Lambda function.
C. Create an Amazon Cogmto user pool to authenticate users
D. Create an Amazon Cognito identity pool to authenticate users.
E. Use AWS Amplify to serve the frontend web content with HTML. CSS, and JS. Use an integrated Amazon CloudFront configuration.
F. Use Amazon S3 static web hosting with PHP. CSS. and JS. Use Amazon CloudFront to serve the frontend web content.
