A company is running a database on Amazon Aurora. The database is idle every evening. An application that performs extensive reads on the database experiences performance issues during morning hours when user traffic spikes. During these peak periods, the application receives timeout errors when reading from the database. The company does not have a dedicated operations team and needs an automated solution to address the performance issues.
Which actions should a solutions architect take to automatically adjust to the increased read load on the database? (Choose two.)

Migrate the database to Aurora Serverless.
Increase the instance size of the Aurora database.
Configure Aurora Auto Scaling with Aurora Replicas.
Migrate the database to an Aurora multi-master cluster.
Migrate the database to an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi-AZ deployment.

A company is running a global application. The application s users submit multiple videos that are then merged into a single video file. The application uses a single Amazon S3 bucket in the us-east-1 Region to receive uploads from users. The same S3 bucket provides the download location of the single video file that is produced. The final video file output has an average size of 250 GB.
The company needs to develop a solution that delivers faster uploads and downloads of the video files that are stored in Amazon S2. The company will offer the solution as a subscription to users who want to pay for the increased speed.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
Enable AWS Global Accelerator for the S3 endpoint. Adjust the application s upload and download links to use the Global Accelerator S3 endpoint for users who have a subscription.
Enable S3 Cross-Region Replication to S3 buckets in all other AWS Regions. Use an Amazon Route 53 geolocation routing policy to route S3 requests based on the location of users who have a subscription.
Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution and use the S3 bucket in us-east-1 as an origin. Adjust the application to use the CloudFront URL as the upload and download links for users who have a subscription.
Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration for the S3 bucket in us-east-1. Configure the application to use the bucket s S3-accelerate endpoint domain name for the upload and download links for users who have a subscription.

A company is running a highly sensitive application on Amazon EC2 backed by an Amazon RDS database. Compliance regulations mandate that all personally identifiable information (PII) be encrypted at rest.
Which solution should a solutions architect recommend to meet this requirement with the LEAST amount of changes to the infrastructure?
Which solution should a solutions architect recommend to meet this requirement with the LEAST amount of changes to the infrastructure?
Deploy AWS Certificate Manager to generate certificates. Use the certificates to encrypt the database volume.
Deploy AWS CloudHSM, generate encryption keys, and use the customer master key (CMK) to encrypt database volumes.
Configure SSL encryption using AWS Key Management Service customer master keys (AWS KMS CMKs) to encrypt database volumes.
Configure Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) encryption and Amazon RDS encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys to encrypt instance and database volumes.

A company is running a media store across multiple Amazon EC2 instances distributed across multiple Availability Zones in a single VPC. The company wants a high-performing solution to share data between all the EC2 instances, and prefers to keep the data within the VPC only.
What should a solutions architect recommend?
What should a solutions architect recommend?
Create an Amazon S3 bucket and call the service APIs from each instance s application.
Create an Amazon S3 bucket and configure all instances to access it as a mounted volume.
Configure an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume and mount it across all instances.
Configure an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system and mount it across all instances.

A company is running a multi-tier ecommerce web application in the AWS Cloud. The application runs on Amazon EC2 Instances with an Amazon RDS MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance. Amazon RDS is configured with the latest generation instance with 2,000 GB of storage in an Amazon EBS General Purpose SSD (gp2) volume. The database performance impacts the application during periods of high demand.
After analyzing the logs in Amazon CloudWatch Logs, a database administrator finds that the application performance always degrades when the number of read and write IOPS is higher than 6.000.

A company is running a multi-tier web application on AWS. The application runs its database tier on Amazon Aurora MySQL. The application and database tiers are in the us-east-1 Region. A database administrator who regularly monitors the Aurora DB cluster finds that an intermittent increase in read traffic is creating high CPUutilization on the read replica and causing increased read latency of the application.
