Question 1 of 1019
A company collects data for temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure in cities across multiple continents. The average volume of data that the company collects from each site daily is 500 GB. Each site has a high-speed Internet connection.
The company wants to aggregate the data from all these global sites as quickly as possible in a single Amazon S3 bucket. The solution must minimize operational complexity.
Which solution meets these requirements?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

S3 Transfer Acceleration speeds up transfers to Amazon S3 by using Amazon CloudFront's globally distributed edge locations. This method leverages each site's high-speed Internet connection and optimizes transfer speeds without requiring additional intermediate infrastructure or storage. As a result, it minimizes operational complexity and ensures that the data from all global sites is aggregated in the destination S3 bucket as quickly as possible.

Question 2 of 1019
A company needs the ability to analyze the log files of its proprietary application. The logs are stored in JSON format in an Amazon S3 bucket. Queries will be simple and will run on-demand. A solutions architect needs to perform the analysis with minimal changes to the existing architecture.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

Amazon Athena is the ideal choice for analyzing JSON log files stored in Amazon S3 with minimal operational overhead. Amazon Athena allows you to directly query data in S3 using standard SQL without the need for any data loading or additional infrastructure setup. This makes it highly suitable for running simple, on-demand queries while keeping changes to the existing architecture to a minimum.

Question 3 of 1019
A company uses AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts for different departments. The management account has an Amazon S3 bucket that contains project reports. The company wants to limit access to this S3 bucket to only users of accounts within the organization in AWS Organizations.
Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

The aws:PrincipalOrgID global condition key can be used in the S3 bucket policy to restrict access to only users from accounts within the same AWS organization. This method leverages AWS Organizations to identify the organization ID, simplifying the policy without the need to list individual account IDs, making it highly efficient and reducing operational overhead.

Question 4 of 1019
An application runs on an Amazon EC2 instance in a VPC. The application processes logs that are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. The EC2 instance needs to access the S3 bucket without connectivity to the internet.
Which solution will provide private network connectivity to Amazon S3?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

To provide private network connectivity between an EC2 instance in a VPC and an Amazon S3 bucket without internet connectivity, the best solution is to create a gateway VPC endpoint. This allows the EC2 instance to communicate directly with the S3 bucket over the AWS private network, avoiding the need for internet access.

Question 5 of 1019
A company is hosting a web application on AWS using a single Amazon EC2 instance that stores user-uploaded documents in an Amazon EBS volume. For better scalability and availability, the company duplicated the architecture and created a second EC2 instance and EBS volume in another Availability Zone, placing both behind an Application Load Balancer. After completing this change, users reported that, each time they refreshed the website, they could see one subset of their documents or the other, but never all of the documents at the same time.
What should a solutions architect propose to ensure users see all of their documents at once?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

To ensure users see all of their documents at once, the best solution is to copy the data from both EBS volumes to Amazon EFS and modify the application to save new documents to Amazon EFS. Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) provides scalable, shared file storage that can be accessed by multiple EC2 instances across different Availability Zones. This will prevent the issue where users see different subsets of documents depending on which instance they are connected to, as both instances will have access to the same file system.
