A company wants to migrate a high performance computing (HPC) application and data from on-premises to the AWS Cloud. The company uses tiered storage on premises with hot high-performance parallel storage to support the application during periodic runs of the application, and more economical cold storage to hold the data when the application is not actively running.
Which combination of solutions should a solutions architect recommend to support the storage needs of the application? (Choose two.)
  • A. Amazon S3 for cold data storage
  • B. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) for cold data storage
  • C. Amazon S3 for high-performance parallel storage
  • D. Amazon FSx for Lustre for high-performance parallel storage
  • E. Amazon FSx for Windows for high-performance parallel storage

  • A. Detach a volume on an EC2 instance and copy it to Amazon S3.
  • B. Launch a new EC2 instance from an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in a new Region.
  • C. Launch a new EC2 instance in a new Region and copy a volume from Amazon S3 to the new instance.
  • D. Copy an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) of an EC2 instance and specify a different Region for the destination.
  • E. Copy an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume from Amazon S3 and launch an EC2 instance in the destination Region using that EBS volume.

A manufacturing company wants to implement predictive maintenance on its machinery equipment. The company will install thousands of IoT sensors that will send data to AWS in real time. A solutions architect is tasked with implementing a solution that will receive events in an ordered manner for each machinery asset and ensure that data is saved for further processing at a later time.
Which solution would be MOST efficient?
  • A. Use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for real-time events with a partition for each equipment asset. Use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to save data to Amazon S3.
  • B. Use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams for real-time events with a shard for each equipment asset. Use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to save data to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).
  • C. Use an Amazon SQS FIFO queue for real-time events with one queue for each equipment asset. Trigger an AWS Lambda function for the SQS queue to save data to Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS).
  • D. Use an Amazon SQS standard queue for real-time events with one queue for each equipment asset. Trigger an AWS Lambda function from the SQS queue to save data to Amazon S3.

A company's website runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The website has a mix of dynamic and static content. Users around the globe are reporting that the website is slow.
Which set of actions will improve website performance for users worldwide?
  • A. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution and configure the ALB as an origin. Then update the Amazon Route 53 record to point to the CloudFront distribution.
  • B. Create a latency-based Amazon Route 53 record for the ALB. Then launch new EC2 instances with larger instance sizes and register the instances with the ALB.
  • C. Launch new EC2 instances hosting the same web application in different Regions closer to the users. Then register instances with the same ALB using cross- Region VPC peering.
  • D. Host the website in an Amazon S3 bucket in the Regions closest to the users and delete the ALB and EC2 instances. Then update an Amazon Route 53 record to point to the S3 buckets.

A company has been storing analytics data in an Amazon RDS instance for the past few years. The company asked a solutions architect to find a solution that allows users to access this data using an API. The expectation is that the application will experience periods of inactivity but could receive bursts of traffic within seconds.
Which solution should the solutions architect suggest?
  • A. Set up an Amazon API Gateway and use Amazon ECS.
  • B. Set up an Amazon API Gateway and use AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
  • C. Set up an Amazon API Gateway and use AWS Lambda functions.
  • D. Set up an Amazon API Gateway and use Amazon EC2 with Auto Scaling.

A gaming company has multiple Amazon EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone for its multiplayer game that communicates with users on Layer 4. The chief technology officer (CTO) wants to make the architecture highly available and cost-effective.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)?
  • A. Increase the number of EC2 instances.
  • B. Decrease the number of EC2 instances.
  • C. Configure a Network Load Balancer in front of the EC2 instances.
  • D. Configure an Application Load Balancer in front of the EC2 instances.
  • E. Configure an Auto Scaling group to add or remove instances in multiple Availability Zones automatically.

  • C. Store root user access keys in an encrypted Amazon S3 bucket.
  • D. Add the root user to a group containing administrative permissions.
  • E. Apply the required permissions to the root user with an inline policy document.

A company's website is using an Amazon RDS MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance for its transactional data storage. There are other internal systems that query this DB instance to fetch data for internal batch processing. The RDS DB instance slows down significantly when the internal systems fetch data. This impacts the website's read and write performance, and the users experience slow response times.
Which solution will improve the website's performance?
  • A. Use an RDS PostgreSQL DB instance instead of a MySQL database.
  • B. Use Amazon ElastiCache to cache the query responses for the website.
  • C. Add an additional Availability Zone to the current RDS MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance.
  • D. Add a read replica to the RDS DB instance and configure the internal systems to query the read replica.
