A company is running a multi-tier web application on premises. The web application is containerized and runs on a number of Linux hosts connected to a PostgreSQL database that contains user records. The operational overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and capacity planning is limiting the company's growth. A solutions architect must improve the application's infrastructure.
Which combination of actions should the solutions architect take to accomplish this? (Choose two.)

  1. Migrate the PostgreSQL database to Amazon Aurora.
  2. Migrate the web application to be hosted on Amazon EC2 instances.
  3. Set up an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the web application content.
  4. Set up Amazon ElastiCache between the web application and the PostgreSQL database.
  5. Migrate the web application to be hosted on AWS Fargate with Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS).

Answer(s): A,E



An application runs on Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zonas. The instances run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer. The application performs best when the CPU utilization of the EC2 instances is at or near 40%.
What should a solutions architect do to maintain the desired performance across all instances in the group?

  1. Use a simple scaling policy to dynamically scale the Auto Scaling group.
  2. Use a target tracking policy to dynamically scale the Auto Scaling group.
  3. Use an AWS Lambda function ta update the desired Auto Scaling group capacity.
  4. Use scheduled scaling actions to scale up and scale down the Auto Scaling group.

Answer(s): B



A company is developing a file-sharing application that will use an Amazon S3 bucket for storage. The company wants to serve all the files through an Amazon CloudFront distribution. The company does not want the files to be accessible through direct navigation to the S3 URL.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

  1. Write individual policies for each S3 bucket to grant read permission for only CloudFront access.
  2. Create an IAM user. Grant the user read permission to objects in the S3 bucket. Assign the user to CloudFront.
  3. Write an S3 bucket policy that assigns the CloudFront distribution ID as the Principal and assigns the target S3 bucket as the Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
  4. Create an origin access identity (OAI). Assign the OAI to the CloudFront distribution. Configure the S3 bucket permissions so that only the OAI has read permission.

Answer(s): D



A company’s website provides users with downloadable historical performance reports. The website needs a solution that will scale to meet the company’s website demands globally. The solution should be cost-effective, limit the provisioning of infrastructure resources, and provide the fastest possible response time.
Which combination should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

  1. Amazon CloudFront and Amazon S3
  2. AWS Lambda and Amazon DynamoDB
  3. Application Load Balancer with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling
  4. Amazon Route 53 with internal Application Load Balancers

Answer(s): A



A company runs an Oracle database on premises. As part of the company’s migration to AWS, the company wants to upgrade the database to the most recent available version. The company also wants to set up disaster recovery (DR) for the database. The company needs to minimize the operational overhead for normal operations and DR setup. The company also needs to maintain access to the database's underlying operating system.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Migrate the Oracle database to an Amazon EC2 instance. Set up database replication to a different AWS Region.
  2. Migrate the Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle. Activate Cross-Region automated backups to replicate the snapshots to another AWS Region.
  3. Migrate the Oracle database to Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle. Create a read replica for the database in another AWS Region.
  4. Migrate the Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle. Create a standby database in another Availability Zone.

Answer(s): C



A company wants to move its application to a serverless solution. The serverless solution needs to analyze existing and new data by using SL. The company stores the data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The data requires encryption and must be replicated to a different AWS Region.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

  1. Create a new S3 bucket. Load the data into the new S3 bucket. Use S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR) to replicate encrypted objects to an S3 bucket in another Region. Use server-side encryption with AWS KMS multi-Region kays (SSE-KMS). Use Amazon Athena to query the data.
  2. Create a new S3 bucket. Load the data into the new S3 bucket. Use S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR) to replicate encrypted objects to an S3 bucket in another Region. Use server-side encryption with AWS KMS multi-Region keys (SSE-KMS). Use Amazon RDS to query the data.
  3. Load the data into the existing S3 bucket. Use S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR) to replicate encrypted objects to an S3 bucket in another Region. Use server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3). Use Amazon Athena to query the data.
  4. Load the data into the existing S3 bucket. Use S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR) to replicate encrypted objects to an S3 bucket in another Region. Use server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3). Use Amazon RDS to query the data.

Answer(s): C



A company runs workloads on AWS. The company needs to connect to a service from an external provider. The service is hosted in the provider's VPC. According to the company’s security team, the connectivity must be private and must be restricted to the target service. The connection must be initiated only from the company’s VPC.
Which solution will mast these requirements?

  1. Create a VPC peering connection between the company's VPC and the provider's VPC. Update the route table to connect to the target service.
  2. Ask the provider to create a virtual private gateway in its VPC. Use AWS PrivateLink to connect to the target service.
  3. Create a NAT gateway in a public subnet of the company’s VPUpdate the route table to connect to the target service.
  4. Ask the provider to create a VPC endpoint for the target service. Use AWS PrivateLink to connect to the target service.

Answer(s): D



A company is migrating its on-premises PostgreSQL database to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL. The on-premises database must remain online and accessible during the migration. The Aurora database must remain synchronized with the on-premises database.
Which combination of actions must a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

  1. Create an ongoing replication task.
  2. Create a database backup of the on-premises database.
  3. Create an AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) replication server.
  4. Convert the database schema by using the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT).
  5. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule to monitor the database synchronization.

Answer(s): A,C

question 8 - can cloudtrail be used for storing jobs? based on aws - aws cloudtrail is used for governance, compliance and investigating api usage across all of our aws accounts. every action that is taken by a user or script is an api call so this is logged to [aws] cloudtrail. something seems incorrect here.

q. 289 - the correct answer should be b not d, since the question asks for the most secure way to provide access to a s3 bucket (a single one), and by principle of the least privilege you should not be giving access to all buckets.
