Questions # 46:

A company has dozens of AWS accounts for different teams, applications, and environments. The company has defined a custom set of controls that all accounts must have. The company is concerned that potential misconfigurations in the accounts could lead to security issues or noncompliance. A solutions architect must design a solution that deploys the custom controls by using infrastructure as code (IaC) in a repeatable way. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Options:

A.

Configure AWS Config rules in each account to evaluate the account settings against the custom controls. Define AWS Lambda functions in AWS CloudFormation templates. Program the Lambda functions to remediate noncompliant AWS Config rules. Deploy the CloudFormation templates as stack sets during account creation. Configure the stack sets to invoke the Lambda functions.


B.

Configure AWS Systems Manager associations to remediate configuration issues across accounts. Define the desired configuration state in an AWS CloudFormation template by using AWS::SSM::Association. Deploy the CloudFormation templates as stack sets to all accounts during account creation.


C.

Enable AWS Control Tower to set up and govern the multi-account environment. Use blueprints that enforce security best practices. Use Customizations for AWS Control Tower and CloudFormation templates to define the custom controls for each account. Use Amazon EventBridge to deploy Customizations for AWS Control Tower during account-provisioning lifecycle events.


D.

Enable AWS Security Hub in all the accounts to aggregate findings in a central administrator account. Develop AWS CloudFormation templates to create Amazon EventBridge rules, AWS Lambda functions, and CloudFormation stacks in each account to remediate Security Hub findings. Deploy the CloudFormation stacks during account provisioning to set up the automated remediation.

Questions # 48:

A company has an environment that has a single AWS account. A solutions architect is reviewing the environment to recommend what the company could improve specifically in terms of access to the AWS Management Console. The company's IT support workers currently access the console for administrative tasks, authenticating with named IAM users that have been mapped to their job role.

The IT support workers no longer want to maintain both their Active Directory and IAM user accounts. They want to be able to access the console by using their existing Active Directory credentials. The solutions architect is using AWS Single Sign-On (AWS SSO) to implement this functionality.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Options:

A.

Create an organization in AWS Organizations. Turn on the AWS SSO feature in Organizations Create and configure a directory in AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) with a two-way trust to the company's on-premises Active Directory.

Questions # 49:

A company needs to aggregate Amazon CloudWatch logs from its AWS accounts into one central logging account. The collected logs must remain in the AWS Region of

creation. The central logging account will then process the logs, normalize the logs into standard output format, and stream the output logs to a security tool for more processing.

A solutions architect must design a solution that can handle a large volume of logging data that needs to be ingested. Less logging will occur outside normal business hours than during normal business hours. The logging solution must scale with the anticipated load. The solutions architect has decided to use an AWS Control Tower design to handle the multi-account logging process.

Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to meet the requirements? (Select THREE.)

Options:

A.

Create a destination Amazon Kinesis data stream in the central logging account.


B.

Create a destination Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue in the central logging account.


C.

Create an IAM role that grants Amazon CloudWatch Logs the permission to add data to the Amazon Kinesis data stream. Create a trust policy. Specify thetrust policy in the IAM role. In each member account, create a subscription filter for each log group to send data to the Kinesis data stream.


D.

Create an IAM role that grants Amazon CloudWatch Logs the permission to add data to the Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue. Create atrust policy. Specify the trust policy in the IAM role. In each member account, create a single subscription filter for all log groups to send datato the SQSqueue.


E.

Create an AWS Lambda function. Program the Lambda function to normalize the logs in the central logging account and to write the logs to the security tool.


F.

Create an AWS Lambda function. Program the Lambda function to normalize the logs in the member accounts and to write the logs to the security tool.

Questions # 50:

A company has an application that uses an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster for the application's database. The DB cluster contains one small primary instance and three larger replica instances. The application runs on an AWS Lambda function. The application makes many short-lived connections to the database's replica instances to perform read-only operations.

During periods of high traffic, the application becomes unreliable and the database reports that too many connections are being established. The frequency of high-traffic periods is unpredictable.

Which solution will improve the reliability of the application?

Options:

A.

Use Amazon RDS Proxy to create a proxy for the DB cluster. Configure a read-only endpoint for the proxy. Update the Lambda function to connect to the proxyendpoint.


B.

Increase the max_connections setting on the DB cluster's parameter group. Reboot all the instances in the DB cluster. Update the Lambda function to connect to the DB cluster endpoint.


C.

Configure instance scaling for the DB cluster to occur when the DatabaseConnections metric is close to the max _ connections setting. Update the Lambda function to connect to the Aurora reader endpoint.


D.
