Question:
A company hosts an application that uses several Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). During the initial startup of the EC2 instances, the EC2 instances run user data scripts to download critical content for the application from an Amazon S3 bucket.
The EC2 instances are launching correctly. However, after a period of time, the EC2 instances are terminated with the following error message:
“An instance was taken out of service in response to an ELB system health check failure.â€
The only recent change to the deployment is that the company added a large amount of critical content to the S3 bucket.
What should a solutions architect do so that the production environment can deploy successfully?
A company has an application that uses Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. The quality assurance (QA) department needs to launch and test the application. The application environments are currently launched by the manager of the department using an AWS CloudFormation template. To launch the stack, the manager uses a role with permission to use CloudFormation, EC2, and Auto Scaling APIs. The manager wants to allow QA to launch environments, but does not want to grant broad permissions to each user.
Which set up would achieve these goals?
A company has millions of objects in an Amazon S3 bucket. The objects are in the S3 Standard storage class. All the S3 objects are accessed frequently. The number of users and applications that access the objects is increasing rapidly. The objects are encrypted with server-side encryption with AWS KMS Keys (SSE-KMS).
A solutions architect reviews the company's monthly AWS invoice and notices that AWS KMS costs are increasing because of the high number of requests from Amazon S3. The solutions architect needs to optimize costs with minimal changes to the application.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A company is migrating its on-premises file transfer solution to AWS Transfer Family. The on-premises host includes an SFTP server to receive files, an application that performs a transformation of the files, and a messaging server. The transformations run every 5 minutes. When a transformation is complete, the application sends a message to a queue on the messaging server. The company needs to simplify the solution and reduce the management of the components. What should the company do to meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A flood monitoring agency has deployed more than 10.000 water-level monitoring sensors. Sensors send continuous data updates, and each update is less than 1 MB in size. The agency has a fleet of on-premises application servers. These servers receive upda.es 'on the sensors, convert the raw data into a human readable format, and write the results loan on-premises relational database server. Data analysts then use simple SOL queries to monitor the data.
The agency wants to increase overall application availability and reduce the effort that is required to perform maintenance tasks These maintenance tasks, which include updates and patches to the application servers, cause downtime. While an application server is down, data is lost from sensors because the remaining servers cannot handle the entire workload.
The agency wants a solution that optimizes operational overhead and costs. A solutions architect recommends the use of AWS loT Core to collect the sensor data.
What else should the solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?
Question:
A company has an application that stores user-uploaded videos in an Amazon S3 bucket using S3 Standard storage. Users access videos frequently for the first 180 days, and rarely after that. Most videos are over 100 MB. Users often have poor internet connectivity, and the company uses multipart uploads.
A solutions architect needs tooptimize S3 storage costs.
Which combination of actions will meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
Question:
A company is replicating an application in asecondary Region. The application usesDynamoDBandRDS for MySQL. The secondary Region must function independently during adisaster.
A company runs a web application on AWS. The web application delivers static content from an Amazon S3 bucket that is behind an Amazon CloudFront distribution. The application serves dynamic content by using an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that distributes requests to a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances in Auto Scaling groups. The application uses a domain name setup in Amazon Route 53.
Some users reported occasional issues when the users attempted to access the website during peak hours. An operations team found that the ALB sometimes returned HTTP 503 Service Unavailable errors. The company wants to display a custom error message page when these errors occur. The page should be displayed immediately for this error code.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A solutions architect must analyze a company's Amazon EC2 Instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes to determine whether the company is using resources efficiently The company is running several large, high-memory EC2 instances lo host database dusters that are deployed in active/passive configurations The utilization of these EC2 instances varies by the applications that use the databases, and the company has not identified a pattern
The solutions architect must analyze the environment and take action based on the findings.
Which solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?
A solutions architect needs to implement a client-side encryption mechanism for objects that will be stored in a new Amazon S3 bucket. The solutions architect created a CMK that is stored in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) for this purpose.
The solutions architect created the following IAM policy and attached it to an IAM role:
During tests, me solutions architect was able to successfully get existing test objects m the S3 bucket However, attempts to upload a new object resulted in an error message. The error message stated that me action was forbidden.
Which action must me solutions architect add to the IAM policy to meet all the requirements?
During an audit, a security team discovered that a development team was putting IAM user secret access keys in their code and then committing it to an AWS CodeCommit repository. The security team wants to automatically find and remediate instances of this security vulnerability.
