100% Correct Verified Solutions
#1 - A company has an application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances and uses an Amazon
Aurora database. The EC2 instances connect to the database by using usernames and
passwords that are stored locally in a file. The company wants to minimize the operational
overhead of credential management.
What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this goal? - ✔✔B. Use AWS Systems
Manager Parameter Store. Turn on automatic rotation.
#2 - A global company hosts its web application on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application
Load Balancer (ALB). The web application has static data and dynamic data. The company stores
its static data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The company wants to improve performance and reduce
latency for the static data and dynamic data. The company is using its own domain name
registered with Amazon Route 53.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements? - ✔✔C. Create an
Amazon CloudFront distribution that has the S3 bucket as an origin. Create an AWS Global
Accelerator standard accelerator that has the ALB and CloudFront distribution as endpoints.
Create a custom domain name that points to the accelerator DNS name. Use the custom
domain name as an endpoint for the web application.
#3 - A company performs monthly maintenance on its AWS infrastructure. During these
maintenance activities, the company needs to rotate the credentials for its Amazon RDS for
MySQL databases across multiple AWS regions.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead? - ✔✔A.
Store the credentials as secrets in AWS Secrets Manager. Use multi-Region secret replication
for the required Regions. Configure the Secrets Manager to rotate the secrets on a schedule.
,#4 - A company runs an ecommerce application on Amazon EC2 instances behind an
Application Load Balancer. The instances run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group across
multiple Availability Zones. The Auto Scaling group scales based on CPU utilization metrics. The
ecommerce application stores the transaction data in a MySQL 8.0 database that is hosted on a
large EC2 instance.
The database's performance degrades quickly as application load increases. The application
handles more read requests than write transactions. The company wants a solution that will
automatically scale the database to meet the demand of unpredictable read workloads while
maintaining high availability.
Which solution will meet these requirements? - ✔✔C. Use Amazon Aurora with a Multi-AZ
deployment. Configure Aurora Auto Scaling with Aurora Replicas.
#5 - A company recently migrated to AWS and wants to implement a solution to protect the
traffic that flows in and out of the production VPC. The company had an inspection server in its
on-premises data center. The inspection server performed specific operations such as traffic
flow inspection and traffic filtering. The company wants to have the same functionalities in the
AWS Cloud.
Which solution will meet these requirements? - ✔✔C. Use AWS Network Firewall to create
the required rules for traffic inspection and traffic filtering for the production VPC.
#6 - A company hosts a data lake on AWS. The data lake consists of data in Amazon S3 and
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. The company needs a reporting solution that provides data
visualization and includes all the data sources within the data lake. Only the company's
management team should have full access to all the visualizations. The rest of the company
should have only limited access.
Which solution will meet these requirements? - ✔✔D. Create an AWS Glue table and crawler
for the data in Amazon S3. Use Amazon Athena Federated Query to access data within Amazon
RDS for PostgreSQL. Generate reports by using Amazon Athena. Publish the reports to Amazon
S3. Use S3 bucket policies to limit access to the reports.
,#7 - A company is implementing a new business application. The application runs on two
Amazon EC2 instances and uses an Amazon S3 bucket for document storage. A solutions
architect needs to ensure that the EC2 instances can access the S3 bucket.
What should the solutions architect do to meet this requirement? - ✔✔A. Create an IAM role
that grants access to the S3 bucket. Attach the role to the EC2 instances.
#8 - An application development team is designing a microservice that will convert large images
to smaller, compressed images. When the user uploads an image through the web interface,
the microservice should store the image in an Amazon S3 bucket, process and compress the
image with an AWS Lambda function, and store the image in its compressed form in a different
S3 bucket.
A solutions architect needs to design a solution that uses durable, stateless components to
process the images automatically.
Which combination of actions will meet these requirements? (Choose two.) - ✔✔A. Create
an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue. Configure the S3 bucket to send a
notification to the SQS queue when an image is uploaded to the S3 bucket.
B. Configure the Lambda function to use the Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)
queue as the invocation source. When the SQS message is successfully processed, delete the
message in the queue.
#9 - A company has a three-tier web application that is deployed on AWS. The web servers are
deployed in a public subnet in a VPC. The application servers and database servers are deployed
in private subnets in the same VPC. The company has deployed a third-party virtual firewall
appliance from AWS Marketplace in an inspection VPC. The appliance is configured with an IP
interface that can accept IP packets.
A solutions architect needs to integrate the web application with the appliance to inspect all
traffic to the application before the traffic reaches the web server.
, Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead? - ✔✔B.
Create an Application Load Balancer in the public subnet of the application's VPC to route the
traffic to the appliance for packet inspection.
#10 - A company wants to improve its ability to clone large amounts of production data into a
test environment in the same AWS Region. The data is stored in Amazon EC2 instances on
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. Modification to the cloned data must not
affect the production environment. The software that accesses the data requires consistently
high I/O performance.
A solutions architect needs to minimize the time that is required to clone the production data
into the test environment.
Which solution will meet these requirements? - ✔✔D. Take EBS snapshots of the production
EBS volumes. Turn on the EBS fast snapshot restore feature on the EBS snapshots. Restore the
snapshots into new EBS volumes. Attach the new EBS volumes to EC2 instances in the test
environment.
#11 - A company collects data for temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure in cities
across multiple continents. The average volume of data that the company collects from each
site daily is 500 GB. Each site has a high-speed Internet connection.
The company wants to aggregate the data from all these global sites as quickly as possible in a
single Amazon S3 bucket. The solution must minimize operational complexity.
Which solution meets these requirements? - ✔✔A. Turn on S3 Transfer Acceleration on the
destination S3 bucket. Use multipart uploads to directly upload site data to the destination S3
bucket.
#12 - A company needs the ability to analyze log files of its proprietary application. The logs are
stored in JSON format in an Amazon S3 bucket. Queries will be simple and will run on-demand.
A solutions architect needs to perform the analysis with minimal changes to the existing
architecture.
