Questions # 11:

A company has a search application that has a web interface. The company uses Amazon CloudFront, Application Load Balancers (ALBs), and Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group with a desired capacity of 3. The company uses prebaked AMIs. The application starts in 1 minute. The application queries an Amazon OpenSearch Service cluster. The application is deployed to multiple Availability Zones. Because of compliance requirements, the application needs to have a disaster recovery (DR) environment in a separate AWS Region. The company wants to minimize the ongoing cost of the DR environment and requires an RTO and an RPO of under 30 minutes. The company has created an ALB in the DR Region. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

Add the new ALB as an origin in the CloudFront distribution. Configure origin failover functionality. Copy the AMI to the DR Region. Create a launch template and an Auto Scaling group with a desired capacity of 0 in the DR Region. Create a new OpenSearch Service cluster in the DR Region. Set up cross-cluster replication for the cluster.

Create a new CloudFront distribution in the DR Region and add the new ALB as an origin. Use Amazon Route 53 DNS for Regional failover. Copy the AMI to the DR Region. Create a launch template and an Auto Scaling group with a desired capacity of 0 in the DR Region. Reconfigure the OpenSearch Service cluster as a Multi-AZ with Standby deployment. Ensure that the standby nodes are in the DR Region.

Expert Solution

Answer

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because creating an Amazon EventBridge rule that invokes an AWS Lambda function to query the applications on a 5-minute interval is not a valid solution. EventBridge rules can only trigger Lambda functions based on events, not on time intervals. Moreover, querying the applications on a 5-minute interval might incur unnecessary costs and network overhead, and might not detect performance issues in real time.

Option B is correct because creating an Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics canary that runs a custom script to query the applications on a 5-minute interval is a valid solution. CloudWatch Synthetics canaries are configurable scripts that monitor endpoints and APIs by simulating customer behavior. Canaries can run as often as once per minute, and can measure the latency and availability of the applications. Canaries can also send notifications to an Amazon SNS topic when they detect errors or performance issues1.

Option C is incorrect because creating an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that uses the AWS/ApplicationELB namespace RequestCountPerTarget metric is not a valid solution. The RequestCountPerTarget metric measures the number of requests completed or connections made per target in a target group2. This metric does not reflect the application response time, which is the requirement. Moreover, configuring the CloudWatch alarm to send a notification when the number of connections becomes greater than the configured number of threads that the application supports is not a valid way to measure the application performance, as it depends on the application design and implementation.

Option D is incorrect because creating an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that uses the AWS/ApplicationELB namespace RequestCountPerTarget metric is not a valid solution, for the same reason as option C. The RequestCountPerTarget metric does not reflect the application response time, which is the requirement. Moreover, configuring the CloudWatch alarm to send a notification when the average response time becomes greater than the longest response time that the application supports is not a valid way to measure the application performance, as it does not account for variability or outliers in the response time distribution.

Questions # 19:

A development team manually builds a local artifact. The development team moves the artifact to an Amazon S3 bucket to support an application. The application has a local cache that must be cleared when the development team deploys the application to Amazon EC2 instances. For each deployment, the development team runs a command to clear the cache, download the artifact from the S3 bucket, and unzip the artifact to complete the deployment.

The development team wants to migrate the deployment process to a CI/CD process and to track the progress of each deployment.

Which combination of actions will meet these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency? (Select THREE.)

Options:

Set up an AWS CodeConnections compatible Git repository. Allow developers to merge code into the repository. Use AWS CodeBuild to build an artifact and copy the object into the S3 bucket. Configure CodeBuild to run for every merge into the main branch.

Create a custom script to clear the cache. Specify the script in the BeforeInstall lifecycle hook in the AppSpec file.

Create user data for each EC2 instance that contains the cache clearing script. Test the application after deployment. If the deployment is not successful, then redeploy.

Use AWS CodePipeline to deploy the application. Set up an AWS CodeConnections compatible Git repository. Allow developers to merge code into the repository as a source for the pipeline.

Use AWS CodeBuild to build the artifact and place the artifact in the S3 bucket. Use AWS CodeDeploy to deploy the artifact to EC2 instances.

Use AWS Systems Manager to fetch the artifact from the S3 bucket and to deploy the artifact to all the EC2 instances.

Questions # 20:

A company has an application that runs on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances. The application requires frequent restarts. The application logs contain error messages when a restart is required. The application logs are published to a log group in Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

An Amazon CloudWatch alarm notifies an application engineer through an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic when the logs contain a large number of restart-related error messages. The application engineer manually restarts the application on the instances after the application engineer receives a notification from the SNS topic.

A DevOps engineer needs to implement a solution to automate the application restart on the instances without restarting the instances.

Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient manner?

Options:

Configure an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook that runs a script to restart the application on the instances. Configure the SNS topic to invoke the runbook.

Create an AWS Lambda function that restarts the application on the instances. Configure the Lambda function as an event destination of the SNS topic.

Configure an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook that runs a script to restart the application on the instances. Create an AWS Lambda function to invoke the runbook. Configure the Lambda function as an event destination of the SNS topic.

Configure an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook that runs a script to restart the application on the instances. Configure an Amazon EventBridge rule that reacts when the CloudWatch alarm enters ALARM state. Specify the runbook as a target of the rule.
