Question 601

Exam Question

A global apparel, footwear, and accessories retailer uses Amazon S3 for centralized storage of the static media assets such as images and videos for its products. The product planning specialists typically upload and download video files (about 100MB each) to the same S3 bucket as part of their day to day work. Initially, the product planning specialists were based out of a single region and there were no performance issues. However, as the company grew and started running offices from multiple countries, it resulted in poor latency for accessing and uploading data to/from S3. The company wants to continue with the serverless solution for its storage requirements but wants to improve its performance.

As a solutions architect, which of the following solutions do you propose to address this issue? (Select two)

A. Spin up EC2 instances in each region where the company has an office Create a daily job to transfer S3 data into EBS volumes attached to the EC2 instances.

B. Enable Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration for the S3 bucket This would speed up uploads as well as downloads for the video files.

C. Create new S3 buckets in every region where the company has an office, so that each office can maintain its storage for the media assets.

D. Use Amazon CloudFront distribution with origin as the S3 bucket This would speed up uploads as well as downloads for the video files.

E. Move S3 data into EFS file system created in a US region, connect to EFS file system from EC2 instances in other AWS regions using an inter-region VPC peering connection.

Correct Answer

B. Enable Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration for the S3 bucket This would speed up uploads as well as downloads for the video files.

D. Use Amazon CloudFront distribution with origin as the S3 bucket This would speed up uploads as well as downloads for the video files.

Question 604

Exam Question

A blog hosting company has an existing SaaS product architected as an on-premises three-tier web application. The blog content is posted and updated several times a day by multiple authors, so the Linux web servers serve content from a centralized file share on a NAS server. The CTO at the company has done an extensive technical review and highlighted to the company management that the existing infrastructure is not optimized. The company would like to migrate to AWS so that the resources can be dynamically scaled in response to load. The on-premises infrastructure and AWS Cloud are connected using Direct Connect.

As a Solutions Architect Professional, which of the following solutions would you recommend to the company so that it can migrate the web infrastructure to AWS without delaying the content updating process?

A. Attach an EFS file system to the on-premises servers to act as the NAS server. Mount the same EFS file system to the AWS based web servers running on EC2 instances to serve the content.

B. Set up an on-premises file gateway using Storage Gateway to replace the NAS server and then replicate the existing content to AWS On the AWS Cloud mount the same Storage Gateway bucket to the EC2 instance based web servers to serve the content.

C. Provision a cluster of EC2 instances based web servers running behind an Application Load Balancer on AWS Share an EBS volume among all instances for accessing the content Develop custom code to periodically synchronize this volume with the NAS server.

D. Provision EC2 instances based web servers with an Auto Scaling group. Create a nightly data transfer batch job to update the web server instances from the NAS server.

Correct Answer

Question 608

Exam Question

A financial services provider recently migrated to AWS Cloud as it needed high-powered computing to run financial simulations to value and manage insurance retirement products by leveraging its financial simulation platform to reduce simulation time by leveraging GPU optimized instances. The DevOps team at the company has provisioned a new GPU optimized EC2 instance x by choosing all default options in the AWS management console. The team can ping instance x from other instances in the VPC. The other instances were also created using the default options. The next day. the team launches another GPU optimized instance Y by creating a new security group and attaching it to instance Y. All other configuration options for instance Y are chosen as default. However, the team is not able to ping instance Y from other instances in the VPC.

As a Solutions Architect Professional, which of the following would you identify as the root cause of the issue?

A. Instance x is in the default security group. The default rules for the default security group allow no inbound traffic from all sources Instance Y is in a new security group. The default rules for a security group that you create allow inbound traffic from all sources.

B. Instance x is in the default security group. The default rules for the default security group allow no inbound traffic from network interfaces (and their associated instances) that are assigned to the same security group. Instance Y is in a new security group. The default rules for a security group that you create allow inbound traffic from all sources.

C. Instance x is in the default security group. The default rules for the default security group allow inbound traffic from all sources Instance Y is in a new security group. The default rules for a security group that you create allow no inbound traffic.

D. Instance x is in the default security group. The default rules for the default security group allow inbound traffic from network interfaces (and their associated instances) that are assigned to the same security group. Instance Y is in a new security group. The default rules for a security group that you create allow no inbound traffic.
