Amazon (SAA-C03) Exam Questions And Answers page 5

A company has a mobile game that reads most of its metadata from an Amazon RDS DB instance. As the game increased in popularity developers noticed slowdowns related to the game s metadata load times. Performance metrics indicate that simply scaling the database will not help. A solutions architect must explore all options that include capabilities for snapshots replication and sub-millisecond response times.

What should the solutions architect recommend to solve these issues?
Define Performant Architectures
A company has a multi-tier application deployed on several Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. An Amazon RDS for Oracle instance is the application, data layer that uses Oracle-specific PSQL functions. Traffic to the application has been steadily increasing. This is causing the EC2 instances to become overloaded and RDS instance to run out of storage. The Auto Scaling group does not have any scaling metrics and defines the minimum healthy instance count only. The company predicts that traffic will continue to increase at a steady but unpredictable rate before leveling off.

What should a solutions architect do to ensure the system can automatically scale for the increased traffic? (Choose two.)
Design Resilient Architectures Define Performant Architectures

A company has a multi-tier application that runs six front-end web servers in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group in a single Availability Zone behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). A solutions architect needs to modify the infrastructure to be highly available without modifying the application.

Which architecture should the solutions architect choose that provides high availability?

A company has an Amazon EC2 instance running on a private subnet that needs to access a public website to download patches and updates. The company does not want external websites to see the EC2 instance IP address or initiate connections to it.

How can a solutions architect achieve this objective?
Define Performant Architectures Specify Secure Applications and Architectures
A company has an Amazon S3 bucket that contains mission-critical data. The company wants to ensure this data is protected from accidental deletion. The data should still be accessible, and a user should be able to delete the data intentionally.

Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to accomplish this? (Choose two.)

A company has an API-based inventory reporting application running on Amazon EC2 instances. The application stores information in an Amazon DynamoDB table. The company s distribution centers have an on-premises shipping application that calls an API to update the inventory before printing shipping labels. The company has been experiencing application interruptions several times each day, resulting in lost transactions.

What should a solutions architect recommend to improve application resiliency?
Design Resilient Architectures
A company has an application hosted on Amazon EC2 instances in two VPCs across different AWS Regions. To communicate with each other, the instances use the internet for connectivity. The security team wants to ensure that no communication between the instances happens over the internet.

What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this?

A company has an application running on Amazon EC2 instances in a private subnet. The application needs to store and retrieve data in Amazon S3. To reduce costs, the company wants to configure its AWS resources in a cost-effective manner.

How should the company accomplish this?
Design Cost-Optimized Architectures
A company has an application that calls AWS Lambda functions. A code review shows that database credentials are stored in a Lambda function s source code, which violates the company s security policy. The credentials must be securely stored and must be automatically rotated on an ongoing basis to meet security policy requirements.

What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements in the MOST secure manner?
