A company must re-evaluate its need for the Amazon EC2 instances it currently has provisioned in an Auto Scaling group. At present, the Auto Scaling group is configured for a minimum of two instances and a maximum of four instances across two Availability Zones. A Solutions architect reviewed Amazon CloudWatch metrics and found that CPU utilization is consistently low for all the EC2 instances.
What should the solutions architect recommend to maximize utilization while ensuring the application remains fault tolerant?
What should the solutions architect recommend to maximize utilization while ensuring the application remains fault tolerant?
Remove some EC2 instances to increase the utilization of remaining instances.
Increase the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) capacity of instances with less CPU utilization.
Modify the Auto Scaling group scaling policy to scale in and out based on a higher CPU utilization metric.
Create a new launch configuration that uses smaller instance types. Update the existing Auto Scaling group.

A company needs to build a reporting solution on AWS. The solution must support SQL queries that data analysts run on the data. The data analysts will run fewer than 10 total queries each day. The company generates 3 GB of new data daily in an on-premises relational database. This data needs to be transferred to AWS to perform reporting tasks.
What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements at the LOWEST cost?
What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements at the LOWEST cost?
Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to replicate the data from the on-premises database into Amazon S3. Use Amazon Athena to query the data.
Use an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to deliver the data into an Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) cluster. Run the queries in Amazon ES.
Export a daily copy of the data from the on-premises database. Use an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway to store and copy the export into Amazon S3. Use an Amazon EMR cluster to query the data.
Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to replicate the data from the on-premises database and load it into an Amazon Redshift cluster. Use the Amazon Redshift cluster to query the data.

A company needs to ingest and handle large amounts of streaming data that its application generates. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances and sends data to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, which is configured with default settings. Every other day, the application consumes the data and writes the data to an Amazon S3 bucket for business intelligence (BI) processing. The company observes that Amazon S3 is not receiving all the data that the application sends to Kinesis Data Streams.
What should a solutions architect do to resolve this issue?
What should a solutions architect do to resolve this issue?
Update the Kinesis Data Streams default settings by modifying the data retention period.
Update the application to use the Kinesis Producer Library (KPL) to send the data to Kinesis Data Streams.
Update the number of Kinesis shards to handle the throughput of the data that is sent to Kinesis Data Streams.
Turn on S3 Versioning within the S3 bucket to preserve every version of every object that is ingested in the S3 bucket.
