Questions # 109:

A company has a website that runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The instances are in an Auto Scaling group. The ALB is associated with an AWS WAF web ACL.

The website often encounters attacks in the application layer. The attacks produce sudden and significant increases in traffic on the application server. The access logs show that each attack originates from different IP addresses. A solutions architect needs to implement a solution to mitigate these attacks.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Options:

Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that monitors server access. Set a threshold based on access by IP address. Configure an alarm action that adds the IP address to the web ACL’s deny list.

Deploy AWS Shield Advanced in addition to AWS WAF. Add the ALB as a protected resource.

Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that monitors user IP addresses. Set a threshold based on access by IP address. Configure the alarm to invoke an AWS Lambda function to add a deny rule in the application server’s subnet route table for any IP addresses that activate the alarm.

Inspect access logs to find a pattern of IP addresses that launched the attacks. Use an Amazon Route 53 geolocation routing policy to deny traffic from the countries that host those IP addresses.

Questions # 111:

A company has developed a hybrid solution between its data center and AWS. The company uses Amazon VPC and Amazon EC2 instances that send application togs to Amazon CloudWatch. The EC2 instances read data from multiple relational databases that are hosted on premises.

The company wants to monitor which EC2 instances are connected to the databases in near-real time. The company already has a monitoring solution that uses Splunk on premises. A solutions architect needs to determine how to send networking traffic to Splunk.

How should the solutions architect meet these requirements?

Options:

Enable VPC flows logs, and send them to CloudWatch. Create an AWS Lambda function to periodically export the CloudWatch logs to an Amazon S3 bucket by using the pre-defined export function. Generate ACCESS_KEY and SECRET_KEY AWS credentials. Configure Splunk to pull the logs from the S3 bucket by using those credentials.

Create an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream with Splunk as the destination. Configure a pre-processing AWS Lambda function with a Kinesis Data Firehose stream processor that extracts individual log events from records sent by CloudWatch Logs subscription filters. Enable VPC flows logs, and send them to CloudWatch. Create a CloudWatch Logs subscription that sends log events to the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream.

Ask the company to log every request that is made to the databases along with the EC2 instance IP address. Export the CloudWatch logs to an Amazon S3 bucket. Use Amazon Athena to query the logs grouped by database name. Export Athena results to another S3 bucket. Invoke an AWS Lambda function to automatically send any new file that is put in the S3 bucket to Splunk.

Send the CloudWatch logs to an Amazon Kinesis data stream with Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for SOL Applications. Configure a 1 -minute sliding window to collect the events. Create a SQL query that uses the anomaly detection template to monitor any networking traffic anomalies in near-real time. Send the result to an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream with Splunk as the destination.

Expert Solution

Answer

B, D, E

Explanation

Developing infrastructure services using AWS CloudFormation templates and uploading them as AWS Service Catalog products to portfolios created in a central AWS account will enable thecompany to centrally manage the creation of infrastructure services and control who can use them1. AWS Service Catalog allows you to create and manage catalogs of IT services that are approved for use on AWS2. You can organize products into portfolios, which are collections of products along with configuration information3. You can share portfolios with other accounts in your organization using AWS Organizations4.

Allowing user IAM roles to have ServiceCatalogEndUserAccess permissions only and using an automation script to import the central portfolios to local AWS accounts, copy the TagOption, assign users access, and apply launch constraints will enable the company to provide least privilege access to users when launching AWS infrastructure services. ServiceCatalogEndUserAccess is a managed IAM policy that grants users permission to list and view products and launch product instances. An automation script can help import the shared portfolios from the central account to the local accounts, copy the TagOption from the central account, assign users access to the portfolios, and apply launch constraints that specify which IAM role or user can provision a product.

Using the AWS Service Catalog TagOption Library to maintain a list of tags required by the company and applying the TagOption to AWS Service Catalog products or portfolios will enable the company to enforce tags on any infrastructure that is started by users. TagOptions are key-value pairs that you can use to classify your AWS Service Catalog resources. You can create a TagOption Library that contains all the tags that you want to use across your organization. You can apply TagOptions to products or portfolios, and they will be automatically applied to any provisioned product instances.

Create an Amazon SNS topic. Create an AWS Lambda function to send an email notification to the SNS topic when the DataSync task execution status changes to SUCCESS or to ERROR.

Expert Solution

Answer

A, D, E

Explanation

The analytics team wants to copy only a subset of the data, run the copy as soon as data is ready, and receive notifications when the process completes. AWS DataSync supports the use of manifest files to control exactly which files or objects are transferred. By generating a manifest file on premises that lists only the relevant data and uploading that manifest to Amazon S3, the company can precisely limit what DataSync copies, which reduces data transfer costs and processing overhead.

Option A satisfies the requirement to identify only analytics-relevant data by creating and uploading a manifest file that lists the objects to be transferred. This avoids copying unnecessary data and is cost-effective.

Option D uses Amazon S3 Event Notifications to trigger an AWS Lambda function as soon as the manifest file is uploaded. The Lambda function starts the DataSync task and references the manifest file. This ensures that the copy process begins immediately after data generation, rather than waiting for a fixed schedule, which meets the “as soon as possible” requirement.

Option E provides a fully managed and scalable notification mechanism. AWS DataSync publishes task execution state changes as events. Amazon EventBridge can capture SUCCESS or ERROR states and route those events to Amazon SNS, which can then send email notifications. This approach avoids custom polling logic and minimizes operational overhead.

Option B and C introduce Amazon DynamoDB unnecessarily. DataSync can directly consume a manifest file from Amazon S3, so loading manifest data into DynamoDB and orchestrating copy logic manually adds cost and complexity without benefit.

Option F relies on a custom Lambda function to monitor task state changes, which increases operational overhead compared to the native EventBridge integration with DataSync.

Therefore, using S3-based manifests, event-driven invocation of DataSync, and EventBridge-based notifications is the most cost-effective and operationally efficient solution.

Questions # 120:

Question:

A company runs an application on Amazon EC2 and AWS Lambda. The application stores temporary data in Amazon S3. The S3 objects are deleted after 24 hours.

The company deploys new versions of the application by launching AWS CloudFormation stacks. The stacks create the required resources. After validating a new version, the company deletes the old stack. The deletion of an old development stack recently failed.

A solutions architect needs to resolve this issue without major architecture changes.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

Create a Lambda function to delete objects from the S3 bucket. Add the Lambda function as a custom resource in the CloudFormation stack with a DependsOn attribute that points to the S3 bucket resource.

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

Update the CloudFormation stack to add a DeletionPolicy attribute with a value of Snapshot for the S3 bucket resource.

Update the CloudFormation template to create an Amazon EFS file system to store temporary files instead of Amazon S3. Configure the Lambda functions to run in the same VPC as the EFS file system.
