Exam Question 381
A company is planning on deploying a newly built application on AWS in a default VPC. The application will consist of a web layer and database layer. The web server was created in public subnets, and the MySQL database was created in private subnets. All subnets are created with the default network ACL settings, and the default security group in the VPC will be replaced with new custom security groups.
The following are the key requirements:
- The web servers must be accessible only to users on an SSL connection.
- The database should be accessible to the web layer, which is created in a public subnet only.
- All traffic to and from the IP range 182.20.0.0/16 subnet should be blocked.
Which combination of steps meets these requirements? (Select two.)
A. Create a database server security group with inbound and outbound rules for MySQL port 3306 traffic to and from anywhere (0 0.0.0/0).
B. Create a database server security group with an inbound rule for MySQL port 3306 and specify the source as a web server security group.
C. Create a web server security group with an inbound allow rule for HTTPS port 443 traffic from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0) and an inbound deny rule for IP range 182.20.0.0/16.
D. Create a web server security group with an inbound rule for HTTPS port 443 traffic from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0). Create network ACL inbound and outbound deny rules for IP range 182.20.0.0/16.
E. Create a web server security group with inbound and outbound rules for HTTPS port 443 traffic to and from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0). Create a network ACL inbound deny rule for IP range 182.20.0.0/16.
Correct Answer
B. Create a database server security group with an inbound rule for MySQL port 3306 and specify the source as a web server security group.
D. Create a web server security group with an inbound rule for HTTPS port 443 traffic from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0). Create network ACL inbound and outbound deny rules for IP range 182.20.0.0/16.
Exam Question 382
A company has an on-premises application that collects data and stores it to an on-premises NFS server.
The company recently set up a 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection. The company is running out of storage capacity on-premises. The company needs to migrate the application data from on-premises to the AWS Cloud while maintaining low-latency access to the data from the on-premises application.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
A. Deploy AWS Storage Gateway for the application data, and use the file gateway to store the data in Amazon S3. Connect the on-premises application servers to the file gateway using NFS.
B. Attach an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system to the NFS server, and copy the application data to the EFS file system. Then connect the on-premises application to Amazon EFS.
C. Configure AWS Storage Gateway as a volume gateway. Make the application data available to the on-premises application from the NFS server and with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots.
D. Create an AWS DataSync agent with the NFS server as the source location and an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system as the destination for application data transfer. Connect the on-premises application to the EFS file system.
Correct Answer
A. Deploy AWS Storage Gateway for the application data, and use the file gateway to store the data in Amazon S3. Connect the on-premises application servers to the file gateway using NFS.
Exam Question 383
A solutions architect needs to design a network that will allow multiple Amazon EC2 instances to access a common data source used for mission-critical data that can be accessed by all the EC2 instances simultaneously. The solution must be highly scalable, easy to implement and support the NFS protocol.
Which solution meets these requirements?
A. Create an Amazon EFS file system. Configure a mount target in each Availability Zone. Attach each instance to the appropriate mount target.
B. Create an additional EC2 instance and configure it as a file server. Create a security group that allows communication between the Instances and apply that to the additional instance.
C. Create an Amazon S3 bucket with the appropriate permissions. Create a role in AWS IAM that grants the correct permissions to the S3 bucket. Attach the role to the EC2 Instances that need access to the data.
D. Create an Amazon EBS volume with the appropriate permissions. Create a role in AWS IAM that grants the correct permissions to the EBS volume. Attach the role to the EC2 instances that need access to the data.
Correct Answer
A. Create an Amazon EFS file system. Configure a mount target in each Availability Zone. Attach each instance to the appropriate mount target.
Exam Question 384
A company is designing an internet-facing web application. The application runs on Amazon EC2 for Linux-based instances that store sensitive user data in Amazon RDS MySQL Multi-AZ DB instances. The EC2 instances are in public subnets, and the RDS DB instances are in private subnets. The security team has mandated that the DB instances be secured against web-based attacks.
What should a solutions architect recommend?
A. Ensure the EC2 instances are part of an Auto Scaling group and are behind an Application Load Balancer. Configure the EC2 instance iptables rules to drop suspicious web traffic. Create a security group for the DB instances. Configure the RDS security group to only allow port 3306 inbound from the individual EC2 instances.
B. Ensure the EC2 instances are part of an Auto Scaling group and are behind an Application Load Balancer. Move DB instances to the same subnets that EC2 instances are located in. Create a security group for the DB instances. Configure the RDS security group to only allow port 3306 inbound from the individual EC2 instances.
C. Ensure the EC2 instances are part of an Auto Scaling group and are behind an Application Load Balancer. Use AWS WAF to monitor inbound web traffic for threats. Create a security group for the web application servers and a security group for the DB instances. Configure the RDS security group to only allow port 3306 inbound from the web application server security group.
D. Ensure the EC2 instances are part of an Auto Scaling group and are behind an Application Load Balancer. Use AWS WAF to monitor inbound web traffic for threats. Configure the Auto Scaling group to automatically create new DB instances under heavy traffic. Create a security group for the RDS DB instances. Configure the RDS security group to only allow port 3306 inbound.
Correct Answer
C. Ensure the EC2 instances are part of an Auto Scaling group and are behind an Application Load Balancer. Use AWS WAF to monitor inbound web traffic for threats. Create a security group for the web application servers and a security group for the DB instances. Configure the RDS security group to only allow port 3306 inbound from the web application server security group.

Exam Question 387
A company is creating a three-tier web application consisting of a web server, an application server, and a database server. The application will track GPS coordinates of packages as they are being delivered. The application will update the database every 0-5 seconds.
The tracking will need to read a fast as possible for users to check the status of their packages. Only a few packages might be tracked on some days, whereas millions of package might be tracked on other days.
Tracking will need to be searchable by tracking ID customer ID and order ID. Order than 1 month no longer read to be tracked.
