A company sells ringtones created from clips of popular songs. The files containing the ringtones are stored in Amazon S3 Standard and are at least 128 KB in size. The company has millions of files, but downloads are infrequent for ringtones older than 90 days. The company needs to save money on storage while keeping the most accessed files readily available for its users.
Which action should the company take to meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

  1. Configure S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage for the initial storage tier of the objects.
  2. Move the files to S3 Intelligent-Tiering and configure it to move objects to a less expensive storage tier after 90 days.
  3. Configure S3 inventory to manage objects and move them to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-1A) after 90 days.
  4. Implement an S3 Lifecycle policy that moves the objects from S3 Standard to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-1A) after 90 days.

Answer(s): D



A company needs to save the results from a medical trial to an Amazon S3 repository. The repository must allow a few scientists to add new files and must restrict all other users to read-only access. No users can have the ability to modify or delete any files in the repository. The company must keep every file in the repository for a minimum of 1 year after its creation date.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Use S3 Object Lock in governance mode with a legal hold of 1 year.
  2. Use S3 Object Lock in compliance mode with a retention period of 365 days.
  3. Use an IAM role to restrict all users from deleting or changing objects in the S3 bucket. Use an S3 bucket policy to only allow the IAM role.
  4. Configure the S3 bucket to invoke an AWS Lambda function every time an object is added. Configure the function to track the hash of the saved object so that modified objects can be marked accordingly.

Answer(s): B



A large media company hosts a web application on AWS. The company wants to start caching confidential media files so that users around the world will have reliable access to the files. The content is stored in Amazon S3 buckets. The company must deliver the content quickly, regardless of where the requests originate geographically.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Use AWS DataSync to connect the S3 buckets to the web application.
  2. Deploy AWS Global Accelerator to connect the S3 buckets to the web application.
  3. Deploy Amazon CloudFront to connect the S3 buckets to CloudFront edge servers.
  4. Use Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) to connect the S3 buckets to the web application.

Answer(s): C



A company produces batch data that comes from different databases. The company also produces live stream data from network sensors and application APIs. The company needs to consolidate all the data into one place for business analytics. The company needs to process the incoming data and then stage the data in different Amazon S3 buckets. Teams will later run one-time queries and import the data into a business intelligence tool to show key performance indicators (KPIs).
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead? (Choose two.)

  1. Use Amazon Athena for one-time queries. Use Amazon QuickSight to create dashboards for KPIs.
  2. Use Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for one-time queries. Use Amazon QuickSight to create dashboards for KPIs.
  3. Create custom AWS Lambda functions to move the individual records from the databases to an Amazon Redshift cluster.
  4. Use an AWS Glue extract, transform, and load (ETL) job to convert the data into JSON format. Load the data into multiple Amazon OpenSearch Service (Amazon Elasticsearch Service) clusters.
  5. Use blueprints in AWS Lake Formation to identify the data that can be ingested into a data lake. Use AWS Glue to crawl the source, extract the data, and load the data into Amazon S3 in Apache Parquet format.

Answer(s): A,E

The company also must indefinitely keep audit logs of actions that are performed within the database. Currently, the company has automated backups configured for Aurora.
Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

  1. Take a manual snapshot of the DB cluster.
  2. Create a lifecycle policy for the automated backups.
  3. Configure automated backup retention for 5 years.
  4. Configure an Amazon CloudWatch Logs export for the DB cluster.
  5. Use AWS Backup to take the backups and to keep the backups for 5 years.

A company is running a publicly accessible serverless application that uses Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda. The application’s traffic recently spiked due to fraudulent requests from botnets.
Which steps should a solutions architect take to block requests from unauthorized users? (Choose two.)

  1. Create a usage plan with an API key that is shared with genuine users only.
  2. Integrate logic within the Lambda function to ignore the requests from fraudulent IP addresses.
  3. Implement an AWS WAF rule to target malicious requests and trigger actions to filter them out.
  4. Convert the existing public API to a private API. Update the DNS records to redirect users to the new API endpoint.
  5. Create an IAM role for each user attempting to access the API. A user will assume the role when making the API call.

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.
