A company is creating a prototype of an ecommerce website on AWS. The website consists of an Application Load Balancer, an Auto Scaling group of Amazon EC2 instances for web servers, and an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance that runs with the Single-AZ configuration.
The website is slow to respond during searches of the product catalog. The product catalog is a group of tables in the MySQL database that the company does not update frequently. A solutions architect has determined that the CPU utilization on the DB instance is high when product catalog searches occur.
What should the solutions architect recommend to improve the performance of the website during searches of the product catalog?

Implement an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster to cache the product catalog. Use lazy loading to populate the cache.
Add an additional scaling policy to the Auto Scaling group to launch additional EC2 instances when database response is slow.
Turn on the Multi-AZ configuration for the DB instance. Configure the EC2 instances to throttle the product catalog queries that are sent to the database.

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.
What should a solution architect recommend to accomplish this with minimal cost of ownership?

Use Amazon DynamoDB Enable Auto Scaling on the DynamoDB table. Schedule an automatic deletion script for items older than 1 month.
Use Amazon DynamoDB with global secondary indexes. Enable Auto Scaling on the DynamoDB table and the global secondary indexes. Enable TTL on the DynamoDB table.
Use an Amazon RDS On-Demand instance with Provisioned IOPS (PIOPS). Enable Amazon CloudWatch alarms to send notifications when PIOPS are exceeded. Increase and decrease PIOPS as needed.
Use an Amazon RDS Reserved Instance with Provisioned IOPS (PIOPS). Enable Amazon CloudWatch alarms to send notification when PIOPS are exceeded. Increase and decrease PIOPS as needed.

A company is deploying a web portal. The company wants to ensure that only the web portion of the application is publicly accessible. To accomplish this, the VPC was designed with two public subnets and two private subnets. The application will run on several Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. SSL termination must be offloaded from the EC2 instances.

A company is designing an application. The application uses an AWS Lambda function to receive information through Amazon API Gateway and to store the information in an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database.
During the proof-of-concept stage, the company has to increase the Lambda quotas significantly to handle the high volumes of data that the company needs to load into the database. A solutions architect must recommend a new design to improve scalability and minimize the configuration effort.
