Question 1

A company is building a serverless application to process large video files that users upload. Theapplication performs multiple tasks to process each video file. Processing can take up to 30 minutesfor the largest files.The company needs a scalable architecture to support the processing application.Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Store the uploaded video files in Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). Configure a schedule in Amazon EventBridge Scheduler to invoke an AWS Lambda function periodically to check for new files. Configure the Lambda function to perform all the processing tasks.

B : Store the uploaded video files in Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). Configure an Amazon EFS event notification to start an AWS Step Functions workflow that uses AWS Fargate tasks to 8 perform the processing tasks.

C : Store the uploaded video files in Amazon S3. Configure an Amazon S3 event notification to send an event to Amazon EventBridge when a user uploads a new video file. Configure an AWS Step Functions workflow as a target for an EventBridge rule. Use the workflow to manage AWS Fargate tasks to perform the processing tasks.

D : Store the uploaded video files in Amazon S3. Configure an Amazon S3 event notification to invoke an AWS Lambda function when a user uploads a new video file. Configure the Lambda function to perform all the processing tasks.

Answer: C

Question 2

The engineering team at an e-commerce company is working on cost optimizations for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. The team wants to manage the workload using a mix of on-demand and spot instances across multiple instance types. They would like to create an Auto Scaling group with a mix of these instances.

Which of the following options would allow the engineering team to provision the instances for this use-case?

A : You can only use a launch template to provision capacity across multiple instance types using both On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances to achieve the desired scale, performance, and cost

B : You can only use a launch configuration to provision capacity across multiple instance types using both On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances to achieve the desired scale, performance, and cost

C : You can neither use a launch configuration nor a launch template to provision capacity across multiple instance types using both On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances to achieve the desired scale, performance, and cost

D : You can use a launch configuration or a launch template to provision capacity across multiple instance types using both On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances to achieve the desired scale, performance, and cost

Answer: A

Question 3

A company recently migrated its web application to the AWS Cloud. The company uses an Amazon EC2 instance to run multiple processes to host the application. The processes include an Apache web server that serves static content. The Apache web server makes requests to a PHP application that uses a local Redis server for user sessions.

The company wants to redesign the architecture to be highly available and to use AWS managed solutions.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A : Use AWS Elastic Beanstalk to host the static content and the PHP application. Configure Elastic Beanstalk to deploy its EC2 instance into a public subnet. Assign a public IP address.

B : Use AWS Lambda to host the static content and the PHP application. Use an Amazon API Gateway REST API to proxy requests to the Lambda function. Set the API Gateway CORS configuration to respond to the domain name. Configure Amazon ElastiCache for Redis to handle session information.

C : Keep the backend code on the EC2 instance. Create an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster that has Multi-AZ enabled. Configure the ElastiCache for Redis cluster in cluster mode. Copy the frontend resources to Amazon S3. Configure the backend code to reference the EC2 instance.

D : Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution with an Amazon S3 endpoint to an S3 bucket that is configured to host the static content. Configure an Application Load Balancer that targets an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) service that runs AWS Fargate tasks for the PHP application. Configure the PHP application to use an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster that runs in multiple Availability Zones.

Answer: D

Question 4

A company has an aging network-attached storage (NAS) array in its data center. The NAS array presents SMB shares and NFS shares to client workstations. The company does not want to purchase a new NAS array. The company also does not want to incur the cost of renewing the NAS array’s support contract. Some of the data is accessed frequently, but much of the data is inactive.

A solutions architect needs to implement a solution that migrates the data to Amazon S3, uses S3 Lifecycle policies, and maintains the same look and feel for the client workstations. The solutions architect has identified AWS Storage Gateway as part of the solution.

Which type of storage gateway should the solutions architect provision to meet these requirements?

A : Volume Gateway

B : Tape Gateway

C : Amazon FSx File Gateway

D : Amazon S3 File Gateway

Answer: D

Question 5

A solutions architect must provide an automated solution for a company's compliance policy that states security groups cannot include a rule that allows SSH from 0.0.0.0/0. The company needs to be notified if there is any breach in the policy. A solution is needed as soon as possible.

What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

A : Write an AWS Lambda script that monitors security groups for SSH being open to 0.0.0.0/0 addresses and creates a notification every time it finds one.

B : Enable the restricted-ssh AWS Config managed rule and generate an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification when a noncompliant rule is created.

C : Create an IAM role with permissions to globally open security groups and network ACLs. Create an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to generate a notification every time the role is assumed by a user.

D : Configure a service control policy (SCP) that prevents non-administrative users from creating or editing security groups. Create a notification in the ticketing system when a user requests a rule that needs administrator permissions.

Answer: B
