A company is migrating its three-tier web application from on-premises to the AWS Cloud. The company has the following requirements for the migration process:
• Ingest machine images from the on-premises environment.
• Synchronize changes from the on-premises environment to the AWS environment until the production cutover.
• Minimize downtime when executing the production cutover.
• Migrate the virtual machines' root volumes and data volumes.
Which solution will satisfy these requirements with minimal operational overhead?

1. A. Use AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) to create and launch a replication job for each tier of the applicatio
2. B. Launch instances from the AMIs created by AWS SM
3. C. After initial testing, perform a final replication and create new instances from the updated AMIs.
4. D. Create an AWS CLIVM Import/Export script to migrate each virtual machin
5. E. Schedule the script to runincrementally to maintain changes in the applicatio
6. F. Launch instances from the AMIs created by VM Import/Expor
7. G. Once testing is done, rerun the script to do a final import and launch the instances from the AMIs.
8. H. Use AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) to upload the operating system volume
9. I. Use the AWS CLI import-snaps hot command 'or the data volume
10. J. Launch instances from the AMIs created by AWS SMS and attach the data volumes to the instance
11. K. After initial testing, perform a final replication, launch new instances from the replicated AMI
12. L. and attach the data volumes to the instances.
13. M. Use AWS Application Discovery Service and AWS Migration Hub to group the virtual machines as an applicatio
14. N. Use the AWS CLI VM Import/Export script to import the virtual machines as AMI
15. O. Schedule the script to run incrementally to maintain changes in the applicatio
16. P. Launch instances from the AMI
17. Q. After initial testing, perform a final virtual machine import and launch new instances from the AMIs.

Correct Answer: A
SMS can handle migrating the data volumes:

A financial services company in North America plans to release a new online web application to its customers on AWS . The company will launch the application in the us-east-1 Region on Amazon EC2 instances. The application must be highly available and must dynamically scale to meet user traffic. The company also wants to implement a disaster recovery environment for the application in the us-west-1 Region by using active-passive failover.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

1. A. Create a VPC in us-east-1 and a VPC in us-west-1 Configure VPC peering In the us-east-1 VP
2. B. create an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that extends across multiple Availability Zones in both VPCs Create an Auto Scaling group that deploys the EC2 instances across the multiple Availability Zones in both VPCs Place the Auto Scaling group behind the ALB.
3. C. Create a VPC in us-east-1 and a VPC in us-west-1. In the us-east-1 VP
4. D. create an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that extends across multiple Availability Zones in that VP
5. E. Create an Auto Scaling group that deploys the EC2 instances across the multiple Availability Zones in the us-east-1 VPC Place the Auto Scaling group behind the ALB Set up the same configuration in the us-west-1 VP
6. F. Create an Amazon Route 53 hosted zone Create separate records for each ALB Enable health checks to ensure high availability between Regions.
7. G. Create a VPC in us-east-1 and a VPC in us-west-1 In the us-east-1 VP
8. H. create an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that extends across multiple Availability Zones in that VPC Create an Auto Scaling group that deploys the EC2 instances across the multiple Availability Zones in the us-east-1 VPC Place the Auto Scaling group behind the ALB Set up the same configuration in the us-west-1 VPC Create an Amazon Route 53 hosted zon
9. I. Create separate records for each ALB Enable health checks and configure a failover routing policy for each record.
10. J. Create a VPC in us-east-1 and a VPC in us-west-1 Configure VPC peering In the us-east-1 VP
11. K. create an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that extends across multiple Availability Zones in Create an Auto Scaling group that deploys the EC2 instances across the multiple Availability Zones in both VPCs Place the Auto Scaling group behind the ALB Create an Amazon Route 53 host.. Create a record for the ALB.

Correct Answer: C

A company is hosting a critical application on a single Amazon EC2 instance. The application uses an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis single-node cluster for an in-memory data store. The application uses an Amazon RDS for MariaDB DB instance for a relational database. For the application to function, each piece of the infrastructure must be healthy and must be in an active state.
A solutions architect needs to improve the application's architecture so that the infrastructure can automatically recover from failure with the least possible downtime.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)

1. A. Use an Elastic Load Balancer to distribute traffic across multiple EC2 instance
2. B. Ensure that the EC2 instances are part of an Auto Scaling group that has a minimum capacity of two instances.
3. C. Use an Elastic Load Balancer to distribute traffic across multiple EC2 instances Ensure that the EC2 instances are configured in unlimited mode.
4. D. Modify the DB instance to create a read replica in the same Availability Zon
5. E. Promote the read replica to be the primary DB instance in failure scenarios.
6. F. Modify the DB instance to create a Multi-AZ deployment that extends across two Availability Zones.
7. G. Create a replication group for the ElastiCache for Redis cluste
8. H. Configure the cluster to use an Auto Scaling group that has a minimum capacity of two instances.
9. I. Create a replication group for the ElastiCache for Redis cluste
10. J. Enable Multi-AZ on the cluster.

Correct Answer: CDE

A company is using a single AWS Region (or its ecommerce website. The website includes a web application that runs on several Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The website also includes an Amazon DynamoDB table. A custom domain name in Amazon Route 53 is linked to the ALB. The company created an SSL/TLS certificate in AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) and attached the certificate to the ALB. The company is not using a content delivery network as part of its design.
The company wants to replicate its entire application stack in a second Region to provide disaster recovery, plan for future growth, and provide improved access time to users. A solutions architect needs to implement a solution that achieves these goals and minimizes administrative overhead.
Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Select THREE.)

1. A. Create an AWS Cloud Formation template for the current infrastructure desig
2. B. Use parameters for important system values, including Regio
3. C. Use the CloudFormation template to create the new infrastructure in the second Region.
4. D. Use the AWS Management Console to document the existing infrastructure design in the first Region and to create the new infrastructure in the second Region.
5. E. Update the Route 53 hosted zone record for the application to use weighted routin
6. F. Send 50% of the traffic to the ALB in each Region.
7. G. Update the Route 53 hosted zone record for the application to use latency-based routin
8. H. Send traffic to the ALB in each Region.
9. I. Update the configuration of the existing DynamoDB table by enabling DynamoDB Streams Add the second Region to create a global table.
10. J. Create a new DynamoDB tabl
11. K. Enable DynamoDB Streams for the new tabl
12. L. Add the second Region to create a global tabl
13. M. Copy the data from the existing DynamoDB table to the new table as a one-time operation.
