Question 381

An organization is running its e-commerce site in the cloud. The capacity is sufficient to meet the organization's needs throughout most of the year, except during the holidays when the organization plans to introduce a new line of products and expects an increase in traffic The organization is not sure how well its products will be received. To address this issue, the organization needs to ensure that:

• System capacity is optimized.

• Cost is reduced

Which of the following should be implemented to address these requirements? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: D, E

    To ensure that the system capacity is optimized and costs are reduced, the organization should implement Autoscaling and a CDN. Autoscaling allows the system to automatically scale resources up or down based on current demand, ensuring efficient use of resources during high traffic periods and cost savings during low traffic periods. A CDN (Content Delivery Network) helps by caching content closer to users, improving load times, and reducing the demand on the main servers, which also contributes to cost savings and optimized system capacity.

CDN will help to reduce traffic by redirecting traffic to the closes CDN auto-scale if the is increase in traffic to meet demand and reduce cost

DWtriple0Options: BD

B and D. Auto scaling is always the answer when concerned with reducing cost and possible spikes in demand. Auto scaling groups require and Load balancer for both traffic balancing and triggering the growth or contraction of the auto scaling group.

BD is correct as we are looking to address optimization of system capacity and reduce cost

ElDirecOptions: BD

he organization should implement B. Load balancer and D. Autoscaling to address these requirements. A load balancer distributes network or application traffic across a number of servers to ensure that no single server bears too much demand. This helps to optimize resource use, reduce response time, and increase availability and reliability of applications. Autoscaling allows organizations to scale cloud resources up or down automatically, based on predefined policies, schedules, or in response to traffic changes. This can help to manage costs and maintain performance at the peak times of demand. While the other options (Containerization, Microsegmentation, WAF, CDN) can provide some benefits, they do not directly address the specific requirements of optimizing system capacity and reducing cost.

Autoscaling and CDN (WAF shouldn't be another choice and is not part of the answer FYI)

Potato42Options: DE

Is it just me or is this question really poorly phrased? Also, why is D both WAF and Autoscaling? It doesn't make much sense. I'm going for Autoscaling + CDN: Autoscaling means that the system will automatically adjust its capacity based on the traffic and resource deman. A CDN will help optimize the system capacity and reduce costs by caching and reducing loads on the original servers. A load-balancer could also work in this scenario, but the use case doesn't explicitly say that traffic should be distributed across multiple servers. Autoscaling also takes care of the cost because it's dynamically adjusting to the demand in a pay-as-you-go fashion.

23169fdOptions: DE

D. Autoscaling: Automatically adjusts the number of resources based on demand, ensuring efficient use of capacity and cost savings. E. CDN: Reduces the load on the primary servers by caching content closer to users, improving performance and reducing bandwidth costs.

23169fdOptions: BD

D. Autoscaling: Autoscaling automatically adjusts the number of compute resources based on the current demand. This means that during peak times, such as the holiday season, the system can scale out to handle the increased traffic, and during off-peak times, it can scale in to reduce costs. B. Load balancer: A load balancer distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed. This helps optimize system capacity by utilizing resources more effectively and can contribute to cost savings by preventing the need for over-provisioning of resources.

041ba31Options: BE

The best answers are D. Autoscaling and E. CDN. D. Autoscaling: Autoscaling automatically adjusts the amount of computational resources based on the current load, ensuring that system capacity is optimized during peak times like the holidays, and reducing costs when the demand is lower. E. CDN (Content Delivery Network): A CDN helps to distribute the load by caching content closer to the users, reducing latency and offloading traffic from the main servers, which optimizes system capacity and can reduce operational costs.
