Migrate the RDS for MySQL database to Amazon Aurora Serverless v2. Create a new ALB. Deploy an EC2 Auto Scaling group behind the new ALB.

Expert Solution

Answer

A, C

Explanation

The workload must be deployed to a second AWS Region to reduce latency for users while maintaining business continuity. Because more than 95% of operations are read operations, the database layer must efficiently support low-latency reads in multiple Regions without introducing complex replication logic or sacrificing availability.

Amazon Aurora MySQL global database is specifically designed for multi-Region deployments. It provides a single primary Region for writes and up to multiple secondary Regions with read-only replicas that use low-latency, storage-based replication. This architecture is well suited for read-heavy workloads because read traffic can be served locally in each Region while writes are centralized. Aurora global database also supports fast recovery and promotes a secondary Region in the event of a primary Region failure, which satisfies business continuity requirements.

Option A correctly migrates the existing RDS for MySQL database to an Aurora MySQL global database and deploys application infrastructure (ALB and Auto Scaling group) in the second Region. This enables applications in each Region to read from the closest Aurora replica, reducing read latency while preserving a managed, highly available database architecture.

To route users to the closest healthy Region, DNS-based traffic management is required. Route 53 latency-based routing directs users to the endpoint (ALB) with the lowest latency from their location. This directly addresses the requirement to reduce application latency while also supporting multi-Region availability.

Option C provides this routing capability by configuring latency-based routing with Route 53 and pointing records to both ALBs. Route 53 continuously evaluates latency and health checks to route traffic appropriately, which supports both performance and business continuity.

Option B is not sufficient because migrating to a separate Multi-AZ database in another Region does not provide a shared data layer or managed cross-Region replication. This would require custom replication and conflict resolution and does not maintain a single logical dataset across Regions. CloudFront improves content delivery for static assets but does not solve database read latency or data consistency.

Option D uses geolocation routing, which routes traffic based on user location rather than actual measured latency. This is less precise than latency-based routing and does not automatically adapt to changing network conditions or Region health.

Option E introduces Aurora Serverless v2, which is not designed for multi-Region global database replication. Aurora Serverless v2 focuses on scaling capacity within a Region, not on reducing latency across Regions or providing managed global read replicas.

Therefore, migrating to an Aurora MySQL global database and using Route 53 latency-based routing provides low-latency reads, high availability, and business continuity with minimal operational overhead.

Questions # 20:

A company needs to optimize the infrastructure for an application that uploads data to Amazon S3. The uploads average 64 KB in size. When the data is uploaded, Amazon S3 sends an event to Amazon EventBridge. EventBridge then invokes an Amazon ECS application task.

The ECS task processes the data and stores the results in an Amazon DynamoDB table. Processing takes an average of 15 minutes. The company must keep the S3 data for 5 years and must keep the DynamoDB data for 15 days.

The application is gaining more users and is handling millions of S3 uploads every hour.

Which set of changes will provide the MOST cost-effective solution for the application?

Options:

Replace the ECS task with an AWS Lambda function for processing. Create S3 Lifecycle rules to move the S3 objects to S3 Intelligent-Tiering after 1 day and to expire the objects after 5 years. Configure DynamoDB Standard-Infrequent Access for the DynamoDB table.

Replace the S3 bucket with Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) to receive the data. Configure tiered storage for data that is older than 1 day.

Questions # 22:

A financial services company runs a complex, multi-tier application on Amazon EC2 instances and AWS Lambda functions. The application stores temporary data in Amazon S3. The S3 objects are valid for only 45 minutes and are deleted after 24 hours.

The company deploys each version of the application by launching an AWS CloudFormation stack. The stack creates all resources that are required to run the application. When the company deploys and validates a new application version, the company deletes the CloudFormation stack of the old version.

The company recently tried to delete the CloudFormation stack of an old application version, but the operation failed. An analysis shows that CloudFormation failed to delete an existing S3 bucket. A solutions architect needs to resolve this issue without making major changes to the application ' s architecture.

Which solution meets these requirements?

Options:

Implement a Lambda function that deletes all files from a given S3 bucket. Integrate this Lambda function as a custom resource into the CloudFormation stack. Ensure that the custom resource has a DependsOn attribute that points to the S3 bucket ' s resource.

Modify the CloudFormation template to provision an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system to store the temporary files there instead of in Amazon S3. Configure the Lambda functions to run in the same VPC as the file system. Mount the file system to the EC2 instances and Lambda functions.

Modify the CloudFormation stack to create an S3 Lifecycle rule that expires all objects 45 minutes after creation. Add a DependsOn attribute that points to the S3 bucket ' s resource.

Modify the CloudFormation stack to attach a DeletionPolicy attribute with a value of Delete to the S3 bucket.
