Exam Question 641

A company needs to run its external website on Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises virtualized servers.

The AWS environment has a 1 GB AWS Direct Connect connection to the data center. The application has IP addresses that will not change.

The on-premises and AWS servers are able to restart themselves while maintaining the same IP address if a failure occurs.

Some website users have to add their vendors to an allow list, so the solution must have a fixed IP address.

The company needs a solution with the lowest operational overhead to handle this split traffic. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

A. Deploy an Amazon Route 53 Resolver with rules pointing to the on-premises and AWS IP addresses
B. Deploy a Network Load Balancer on AWS. Create target groups for the on-premises and AWS IP addresses.
C. Deploy an Application Load Balancer on AWS Register the on-premises and AWS IP addresses with the target group.
D. Deploy Amazon API Gateway to direct traffic to the on-premises and AWS IP addresses based on the header of the request.

Correct Answer

A. Deploy an Amazon Route 53 Resolver with rules pointing to the on-premises and AWS IP addresses

Exam Question 642

A company wants to migrate its 1PB on-premises image repository to AWS.

The images will be used by a serverless web application Images stored in the repository are rarely accessed, but they must be immediately available. Additionally, the images must be encrypted at rest and protected from accidental deletion.

Which solution meets these requirements?

A. Implement client-side encryption and store the images in an Amazon S3 Glacier vault. Set a vault lock to prevent accidental deletion.
B. Store the images in an Amazon S3 bucket in the S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard- IA) storage class. Enable versioning: default encryption, and MFA Delete on the S3 bucket
C. Store the images in an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file share. Configure the Amazon FSx file share to use an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) to encrypt the images in the file share. Use NTFS permission sets on the images to prevent accidental deletion
D. Store the images in an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file share in the Infrequent Access storage class. Configure the EFS file share to use an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) to encrypt the images in the file share. Use NFS permission set on the images to prevent accidental deletion.

Correct Answer

B. Store the images in an Amazon S3 bucket in the S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard- IA) storage class. Enable versioning: default encryption, and MFA Delete on the S3 bucket
