A solutions architect must analyze a company's Amazon EC2 Instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes to determine whether the company is using resources efficiently The company is
running several large, high-memory EC2 instances lo host database dusters that are deployed in active/passive configurations The utilization of these EC2 instances varies by the applications that use the databases, and the company has not identified a pattern
The solutions architect must analyze the environment and take action based on the findings. Which solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

1. A. Create a dashboard by using AWS Systems Manager OpsConter Configure visualizations tor Amazon CloudWatch metrics that are associated with the EC2 instances and their EBS volumes Review the dashboard periodically and identify usage patterns Rightsize the EC2 instances based on the peaks in the metrics
2. B. Turn on Amazon CloudWatch detailed monitoring for the EC2 instances and their EBS volumes Create and review a dashboard that is based on the metrics Identify usage patterns Rightsize the FC? instances based on the peaks In the metrics
3. C. Install the Amazon CloudWatch agent on each of the EC2 Instances Turn on AWS Compute Optimizer, and let it run for at least 12 hours Review the recommendations from Compute Optimizer, and rightsize the EC2 instances as directed
4. D. Sign up for the AWS Enterprise Support plan Turn on AWS Trusted Advisor Wait 12 hours Review the recommendations from Trusted Advisor, and rightsize the EC2 instances as directed

A company's solution architect is designing a diasaster recovery (DR) solution for an application that runs on AWS. The application uses PostgreSQL 11.7 as its database. The company has an PRO of 30 seconds. The solutions architect must design a DR solution with the primary database in the us-east-1 Region and the database in the us-west-2 Region.
What should the solution architect do to meet these requirements with minimum application change?

1. A. Migrate the database to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL in us-east-1. Set up a read replica up a read replica in us-west-2. Set the managed PRO for the RDS database to 30 seconds.
2. B. Migrate the database to Amazon for PostgreSQL in us-east-1. Set up a standby replica in an Availability Zone in us-west-2, Set the managed PRO for the RDS database to 30 seconds.
3. C. Migrate the database to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL global database with the primary Region as us-east-1 and the secondary Region as us-west-2. Set the managed PRO for the Aurora database to 30 seconds.
4. D. Migrate the database to Amazon DynamoDB in us-east-1. Set up global tables with replica tables that are created in us-west-2.

Correct Answer: A

A company has an internal application running on AWS that is used to track and process shipments in the company's warehouse. Currently, after the system receives an order, it emails the staff the information needed to ship a package. Once the package is shipped, the staff replies to the email and the order is marked as shipped.
The company wants to stop using email in the application and move to a serverless application model. Which architecture solution meets these requirements?

1. A. Use AWS Batch to configure the different tasks required lo ship a packag
2. B. Have AWS Batch trigger an AWS Lambda function that creates and prints a shipping labe
3. C. Once that label is scanne
4. D. as it leaves the warehouse, have another Lambda function move the process to the next step in the AWS Batch job.B.
5. E. When a new order is created, store the order information in Amazon SQ
6. F. Have AWS Lambda check the queue every 5 minutes and process any needed wor
7. G. When an order needs to be shipped, have Lambda print the label in the warehous
8. H. Once the label has been scanned, as it leaves the warehouse, have an Amazon EC2 instance update Amazon SOS.
9. I. Update the application to store new order information in Amazon DynamoD
10. J. When a new order is created, trigger an AWS Step Functions workflow, mark the orders as "in progress," and print a package label to the warehous
11. K. Once the label has been scanned and fulfilled, the application will trigger an AWS Lambda function that will mark the order as shipped and complete the workflow.
12. L. Store new order information in Amazon EF
13. M. Have instances pull the new information from the NFS and send that information to printers in the warehous
14. N. Once the label has been scanned, as it leaves the warehouse, have Amazon API Gateway call the instances to remove the order information from Amazon EFS.

A company has a data lake in Amazon S3 that needs to be accessed by hundreds of applications across many AWS accounts. The company's information security policy states that the S3 bucket must not be accessed over the public internet and that each application should have the minimum permissions necessary to function.
To meet these requirements, a solutions architect plans to use an S3 access point that is restricted to specific VPCs tor each application.
Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to implement this solution? (Select TWO.)

1. A. Create an S3 access point for each application in the AWS account that owns the S3 bucke
2. B. Configure each access point to be accessible only from the application's VP
3. C. Update the bucket policy to require access from an access point.
4. D. Create an interface endpoint for Amazon S3 in each application's VP
5. E. Configure the endpoint policy to allow access to an S3 access poin
6. F. Create a VPC gateway attachment for the S3 endpoint.
7. G. Create a gateway endpoint lor Amazon S3 in each application's VP
8. H. Configure the endpoint policy to allow access to an S3 access poin
9. I. Specify the route table that is used to access the access point.
10. J. Create an S3 access point for each application in each AWS account and attach the access points to the S3 bucke
11. K. Configure each access point to be accessible only from the application's VP
12. L. Update the bucket policy to require access from an access point.
13. M. Create a gateway endpoint for Amazon S3 in the data lake's VP
