2024 AWS CERTIFIED SOLUTIONS
ARCHITECT ASSOCIATE PRACTICE
TEST 1EXAM WITH ANSWERS
An AWS Organization has an OU with multiple member accounts in it. The
company needs to restrict the ability to launch only specific Amazon EC2
instance types. How can this policy be applied across the accounts with the
least effort? - CORRECT-ANSWERSCreate an SCP with a deny rule that denies
all but the specific instance types
A company requires that all AWS IAM user accounts have specific complexity
requirements and minimum password length.
How should a Solutions Architect accomplish this? - CORRECT-ANSWERSSet a
password policy for the entire AWS account
A company offers an online product brochure that is delivered from a static
website running on Amazon S3. The company's customers are mainly in the
United States, Canada, and Europe. The company is looking to cost-
effectively reduce the latency for users in these regions.
What is the most cost-effective solution to these requirements? - CORRECT-
ANSWERSCreate an Amazon CloudFront distribution and set the price class
to use only U.S, Canada and Europe.
A company uses Docker containers for many application workloads in an on-
premise data center. The company is planning to deploy containers to AWS
and the chief architect has mandated that the same configuration and
administrative tools must be used across all containerized environments. The
company also wishes to remain cloud agnostic to safeguard mitigate the
impact of future changes in cloud strategy.
How can a Solutions Architect design a managed solution that will align with
open-source software? - CORRECT-ANSWERSLaunch the containers on
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and EKS worker nodes
An insurance company has a web application that serves users in the United
Kingdom and Australia. The application includes a database tier using a
MySQL database hosted in eu-west-2. The web tier runs from eu-west-2 and
ap-southeast-2. Amazon Route 53 geoproximity routing is used to direct
users to the closest web tier. It has been noted that Australian users receive
slow response times to queries.
, Which changes should be made to the database tier to improve
performance? - CORRECT-ANSWERSMigrate the database to an Amazon
Aurora global database in MySQL compatibility mode. Configure read replicas
in ap-southeast-2
There are two applications in a company: a sender application that sends
messages containing payloads, and a processing application that receives
messages containing payloads. The company wants to implement an AWS
service to handle messages between these two different applications. The
sender application sends on average 1,000 messages each hour and the
messages depending on the type sometimes take up to 2 days to be
processed. If the messages fail to process, they must be retained so that
they do not impact the processing of any remaining messages.
Which solution meets these requirements and is the MOST operationally
efficient? - CORRECT-ANSWERSProvide an Amazon Simple Queue Service
(Amazon SQS) queue for the sender and processor applications. Set up a
dead-letter queue to collect failed messages
A company is deploying a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances running Linux
across multiple Availability Zones within an AWS Region. The application
requires a data storage solution that can be accessed by all of the EC2
instances simultaneously. The solution must be highly scalable and easy to
implement. The storage must be mounted using the NFS protocol.
Which solution meets these requirements? - CORRECT-ANSWERSCreate an
Amazon EFS file system with mount targets in each Availability Zone.
Configure the application instances to mount the file system
A Solutions Architect has been tasked with re-deploying an application
running on AWS to enable high availability. The application processes
messages that are received in an ActiveMQ queue running on a single
Amazon EC2 instance. Messages are then processed by a consumer
application running on Amazon EC2. After processing the messages the
consumer application writes results to a MySQL database running on Amazon
EC2.
Which architecture offers the highest availability and low operational
complexity? - CORRECT-ANSWERSDeploy Amazon MQ with active/standby
brokers configured across two Availability Zones. Create an Auto Scaling
group for the consumer EC2 instances across two Availability Zones. Use an
Amazon RDS MySQL database with Multi-AZ enabled
An Amazon VPC contains several Amazon EC2 instances. The instances need
to make API calls to Amazon DynamoDB. A solutions architect needs to
ensure that the API calls do not traverse the internet.
How can this be accomplished? (Select TWO.) - CORRECT-ANSWERS1) Create
a route table entry for the endpoint
