Questions # 91:

A company is running a data-intensive application on AWS. The application runs on a cluster of hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances. A shared file system also runs on several EC2 instances that store 200 TB of data. The application reads and modifies the data on the shared file system and generates a report. The job runs once monthly, reads a subset of the files from the shared file system, and takes about 72 hours to complete. The compute instances scale in an Auto Scaling group, but the instances that host the shared file system run continuously. The compute and storage instances are all in the same AWS Region.

A solutions architect needs to reduce costs by replacing the shared file system instances. The file system must provide high performance access to the needed data for the duration of the 72-hour run.

Which solution will provide the LARGEST overall cost reduction while meeting these requirements?

Options:

Migrate the data from the existing shared file system to an Amazon S3 bucket that uses the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class. Before the job runs each month, use Amazon FSx for Lustre to create a new file system with the data from Amazon S3 by using lazy loading. Use the new file system as the shared storage for the duration of the job. Delete the file system when the job is complete.

Migrate the data from the existing shared file system to a large Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume with Multi-Attach enabled. Attach the EBS volume to each of the instances by using a user data script in the Auto Scaling group launch template. Use the EBS volume as the shared storage for the duration of the job. Detach the EBS volume when the job is complete.

Migrate the data from the existing shared file system to an Amazon S3 bucket that uses the S3 Standard storage class. Before the job runs each month, use Amazon FSx for Lustre to create a new file system with the data from Amazon S3 by using batch loading. Use the new file system as the shared storage for the duration of the job. Delete the file system when the job is complete.

Migrate the data from the existing shared file system to an Amazon S3 bucket. Before the job runs each month, use AWS Storage Gateway to create a file gateway with the data from Amazon S3. Use the file gateway as the shared storage for the job. Delete the file gateway when the job is complete.

Questions # 103:

A company has a website that serves many visitors. The company deploys a backend service for the website in a primary AWS Region and a disaster recovery (DR) Region.

A single Amazon CloudFront distribution is deployed for the website. The company creates an Amazon Route 53 record set with health checks and a failover routing policy for the primary Region's backend service. The company configures the Route 53 record set as an origin for the CloudFront distribution. The company configures another record set that points to the backend service's endpoint in the DR Region as a secondary failover record type. The TTL for both record sets is 60 seconds.

Currently, failover takes more than 1 minute. A solutions architect must design a solution that will provide the fastest failover time.

Which solution will achieve this goal?

Options:

Deploy an additional CloudFront distribution. Create a new Route 53 failover record set with health checks for both CloudFront distributions.

Set the TTL to 1 second for the existing Route 53 record sets that are used for the backend service in each Region.

Questions # 104:

An AWS customer has a web application that runs on premises. The web application fetches data from a third-party API that is behind a firewall. The third party accepts only one public CIDR block in each client's allow list.

The customer wants to migrate their web application to the AWS Cloud. The application will be hosted on a set of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in a VPC. The ALB is located in public subnets. The EC2 instances are located in private subnets. NAT gateways provide internet access to the private subnets.

How should a solutions architect ensure that the web application can continue to call the third-parly API after the migration?

Options:

Associate a block of customer-owned public IP addresses to the VPC. Enable public IP addressing for public subnets in the VPC.

Register a block of customer-owned public IP addresses in the AWS account. Create Elastic IP addresses from the address block and assign them lo the NAT gateways in the VPC.

Create Elastic IP addresses from the block of customer-owned IP addresses. Assign the static Elastic IP addresses to the ALB.

Register a block of customer-owned public IP addresses in the AWS account. Set up AWS Global Accelerator to use Elastic IP addresses from the address block. Set the ALB as the accelerator endpoint.

Questions # 105:

A financial company is planning to migrate its web application from on premises to AWS. The company uses a third-party security tool to monitor the inbound traffic to the application. The company has used the security tool for the last 15 years, and the tool has no cloud solutions available from its vendor. The company's security team is concerned about how to integrate the security tool with AWS technology.

The company plans to deploy the application migration to AWS on Amazon EC2 instances. The EC2 instances will run in an Auto Scaling group in a dedicated VPC. The company needs to use the security tool to inspect all packets that come in and out of the VPC. This inspection must occur in real time and must not affect the application's performance. A solutions architect must design a target architecture on AWS that is highly available within an AWS Region.

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

Options:

Deploy the security tool on EC2 instances in a new Auto Scaling group in the existing VPC.

Deploy the web application behind a Network Load Balancer.

Deploy an Application Load Balancer in front of the security tool instances.

Provision a Gateway Load Balancer for each Availability Zone to redirect the traffic to the security tool.

Provision a transit gateway to facilitate communication between VPCs.
