Question1: A company has on-premises servers running a relational database The current database serves high read traffic for users in different locations The company wants to migrate to AWS with the least amount of effort The database solution should support disaster recovery and not affect the company's current traffic flow.
Which solution meets these requirements?

Question2: A company has a multi-tier application that runs six front-end web servers in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group in a single Availability Zone behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) A solutions architect needs to modify the infrastructure to be highly available without modifying the application Which architecture should the solutions architect choose that provides high availability?

Question3: A company has deployed an API in a VPC behind an internet-facing Application Load Balancer (ALB) An application that consumes the API as a client is deployed in a second account in private subnets behind a NAT gateway. When requests to the client application increase, the NAT gateway costs are higher than expected. A solutions architect has configured the ALB to be internal.
Which combination of architectural changes will reduce the NAT gateway costs'? (Select TWO )

Question4: A company's website runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) The website has a mix of dynamic and static content Users around the globe are reporting that the website is slow Which set of actions will improve website performance for users worldwide?

Question5: Organizers for a global event want to put daily reports online as static HTML pages The pages are expected to generate millions of views from users around the world The files are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket A solutions architect has been asked to design an efficient and effective solution Which action should the solutions architect take to accomplish this?

Question6: A company has been storing analytics data in an Amazon RDS instance for the past few years. The company asked a solutions architect to find a solution that allows users to access this data using an API The expectation is that the application will experience periods of inactivity but could receive bursts of traffic within seconds Which solution should the solutions architect suggest?

Question7: A solutions architect is tasked with transferring 750 TB of data from a network-attached file system located at a branch office to Amazon S3 Glacier The solution must avoid saturating the branch office's low-bandwidth internet connection What is the MOST cost-effective solution1?

Question8: A company's web application is using multiple Linux Amazon EC2 instances and storing data on Amazon EBS volumes. The company is looking for a solution to increase the resiliency of the application in case of a failure and to provide storage that complies with atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID).
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Question9: A company has an application that calls AWS Lambda functions A recent code review found database credentials stored in the source code The database credentials need to be removed from the Lambda source code The credentials must then be securely stored and rotated on an ongoing basis to meet security policy requirements What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

Question10: static website within an Amazon S3 bucket A solutions architect needs t Which action will accomplish this?

Question11: A solutions architect at an ecommerce company wants to back up application log data to Amazon S3 The solutions architect is unsure how frequently the logs will be accessed or which logs will be accessed the most The company wants to keep costs as low as possible by using the appropriate S3 storage class.
Which S3 storage class should be implemented to meet these requirements?

Question12: A solutions architect is designing a two-tier web application The application consists of a public-facing web tier hosted on Amazon EC2 in public subnets The database tier consists of Microsoft SQL Server running on Amazon EC2 in a private subnet Security is a high priority for the company How should security groups be configured in this situation? (Select TWO )

Question13: A company's website is used to sell products to the public The site runs on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) There is also an Amazon CloudFront distribution and AWS WAF is being used to protect against SQL injection attacks The ALB is the origin for the CloudFront distribution A recent review of security logs revealed an external malicious IP that needs to be blocked from accessing the website What should a solutions architect do to protect the application"?

Question14: A company wants to migrate a high performance computing (HPC) application and data from on-premises to the AWS Cloud The company uses tiered storage on premises with hot high-performance parallel storage to support the application during periodic runs of the application and more economical cold storage to hold the data when the application is not actively running Which combination of solutions should a solutions architect recommend to support the storage needs of the application? (Select TWO )

Question15: A security team wants to limit access to specific services or actions in all of the team's AWS accounts. All accounts belong to a large organization in AWS Organizations The solution must be scalable and there must be asingle point where permissions can be maintained.
What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this?

Question16: A company runs a multi-tier web application that hosts news content The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The instances run in an EC2 Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones and use an Amazon Aurora database. A solutions architect needs to make the application more resilient to periodic increases in request rates Which architecture should the solutions architect implement? (Select TWO )

Question17: A manufacturing company wants to implement predictive maintenance on its machinery equipment The company will install thousands of loT sensors that will send data to AWS in real time A solutions architect is tasked with implementing a solution that will receive events in an ordered manner for each machinery asset and ensure that data is saved for further processing at a later time Which solution would be MOST efficient?

Question18: A Solutions Architect must design a web application that will be hosted on AWS, allowing users to purchase access to premium, shared content that is stored in an S3 bucket. Upon payment, content will be available for download for 14 days before the user is denied access Which of the following would be the LEAST complicated implementation?

Question19: A solutions architect has created a new AWS account and must secure AWS account root user access Which combination of actions will accomplish this? (Select TWO.)

Question20: A marketing company is storing CSV files in an Amazon S3 bucket for statistical analysis An application on an Amazon EC2 instance needs permission to efficiently process the CSV data stored in the S3 bucket.
Which action will MOST securely grant the EC2 instance access to the S3 bucket?

Question21: 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'?

Question22: A company's application is running on Amazon EC2 instances within an Auto Scaling group behind an Elastic Load Balancer Based on the application's history, the company anticipates a spike in traffic during a holiday each year A solutions architect must design a strategy to ensure that the Auto Scaling group proactively increases capacity to minimize any performance impact on application users Which solution will meet these requirements?
