A solutions architect needs to implement a solution to reduce a company's storage costs. All the company's data is in the Amazon S3 Standard storage class. The company must keep all data for at least 25 years. Data from the most recent 2 years must be highly available and immediately retrievable.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Set up an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition objects to S3 Glacier Deep Archive immediately.
  2. Set up an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition objects to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 2 years.
  3. Use S3 Intelligent-Tiering. Activate the archiving option to ensure that data is archived in S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
  4. Set up an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition objects to S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) immediately and to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 2 years.

Answer(s): B



A media company is evaluating the possibility of moving its systems to the AWS Cloud. The company needs at least 10 TB of storage with the maximum possible I/O performance for video processing, 300 TB of very durable storage for storing media content, and 900 TB of storage to meet requirements for archival media that is not in use anymore.
Which set of services should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

  1. Amazon EBS for maximum performance, Amazon S3 for durable data storage, and Amazon S3 Glacier for archival storage
  2. Amazon EBS for maximum performance, Amazon EFS for durable data storage, and Amazon S3 Glacier for archival storage
  3. Amazon EC2 instance store for maximum performance, Amazon EFS for durable data storage, and Amazon S3 for archival storage
  4. Amazon EC2 instance store for maximum performance, Amazon S3 for durable data storage, and Amazon S3 Glacier for archival storage

Answer(s): D



A company wants to run applications in containers in the AWS Cloud. These applications are stateless and can tolerate disruptions within the underlying infrastructure. The company needs a solution that minimizes cost and operational overhead.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

  1. Use Spot Instances in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to run the application containers.
  2. Use Spot Instances in an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) managed node group.
  3. Use On-Demand Instances in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to run the application containers.
  4. Use On-Demand Instances in an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) managed node group.

Answer(s): B



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
