Question 1 of 822

A solutions architect is designing a solution where users will be directed to a backup static error page if the primary website is unavailable. The primary website's

DNS records are hosted in Amazon Route 53 where their domain is pointing to an Application Load Balancer (ALB).

Which configuration should the solutions architect use to meet the company's needs while minimizing changes and infrastructure overhead?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

To achieve the requirement of directing users to a backup static error page if the primary website is unavailable, a Route 53 active-passive failover configuration is ideal. This setup minimizes changes and infrastructure overhead by using health checks to determine the availability of the Application Load Balancer (ALB). When the ALB is found to be unhealthy, Route 53 can smoothly transition the traffic to a static error page hosted within an Amazon S3 bucket. This method ensures high availability and resilience with minimal changes to the existing infrastructure.

Question 2 of 822

A solutions architect is designing a high performance computing (HPC) workload on Amazon EC2. The EC2 instances need to communicate to each other frequently and require network performance with low latency and high throughput.

Which EC2 configuration meets these requirements?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

To achieve low latency and high throughput for high performance computing (HPC) workloads on Amazon EC2, you should use a cluster placement group in one Availability Zone. This configuration packs instances close together, which reduces latency and increases network performance, facilitating the frequent communication required between instances in such workloads.

Question 3 of 822

A company wants to host a scalable web application on AWS. The application will be accessed by users from different geographic regions of the world.

Application users will be able to download and upload unique data up to gigabytes in size. The development team wants a cost-effective solution to minimize upload and download latency and maximize performance.

What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

To achieve a cost-effective and high-performance solution for a globally accessible web application involving large data transfers, using Amazon S3 with Transfer Acceleration is the best choice. S3 Transfer Acceleration leverages Amazon CloudFront's globally distributed edge locations to significantly speed up upload and download operations for objects up to several gigabytes in size. This not only reduces latency but also maximizes performance by routing data through optimized network paths, making it an ideal solution for applications with users distributed across different geographic regions.

Question 4 of 822

A company is migrating from an on-premises infrastructure to the AWS Cloud. One of the company's applications stores files on a Windows file server farm that uses Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) to keep data in sync. A solutions architect needs to replace the file server farm.

Which service should the solutions architect use?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

The company needs to replace its Windows file server farm that uses Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) to keep data in sync. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is specifically designed to provide fully managed, highly reliable file storage that is accessible over the industry-standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. It supports DFSR, making it the ideal service for this use case. By using Amazon FSx, the company can maintain the same synchronization functionality in the cloud as they had on-premises.

Question 5 of 822

A company has a legacy application that processes data in two parts. The second part of the process takes longer than the first, so the company has decided to rewrite the application as two microservices running on Amazon ECS that can scale independently.

How should a solutions architect integrate the microservices?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

To integrate the two microservices efficiently, the better approach is to use Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service). Microservice 1 can send data to an SQS queue, and Microservice 2 can process messages from this queue. This solution allows for decoupling of the services, ensuring that Microservice 2 can handle the messages at its own pace without being directly dependent on the processing time of Microservice 1. SQS also provides fault tolerance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, perfect for systems where the processing times of different parts are not uniform.
