Amazon SAA-C01 Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 401:

    A Solutions Architect is building an application on AWS that will require 20,000 IOPS on a particular volume to support a media event. Once the event ends, the IOPS need is no longer required. The marketing team asks the Architect to build the platform to optimize storage without incurring downtime.

    How should the Architect design the platform to meet these requirements?

    A. Change the Amazon EC2 instant types.
    B. Change the EBS volume type to Provisioned IOPS.
    C. Stop the Amazon EC2 instance and provision IOPS for the EBS volume.
    D. Enable an API Gateway to change the endpoints for the Amazon EC2 instances.

  • Question 402:

    A Solutions Architect is designing a solution for a media company that will stream large amounts of data from an Amazon EC2 instance. The data streams are typically large and sequential, and must be able to support up to 500 MB/s. Which storage type will meet the performance requirements of this application?

    A. EBS Provisioned IOPS SSD
    B. EBS General Purpose SSD
    C. EBS Cold HDD
    D. EBS Throughput Optimized HDD

  • Question 403:

    A Solutions Architect is designing an application that requires having six Amazon EC2 instances running at all times. The application will be deployed in the sa-east-1 region, which has three Availability Zones: sa-east-1a, sa-east-1b, and saeast-1c.

    Which action will provide 100 percent fault tolerance and the LOWEST cost in the event that one Availability Zone in the region becomes unavailable?

    A. Deploy six Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1a, six Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1b, and six Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1c
    B. Deploy six Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1a, four Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1b, and two Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1c
    C. Deploy three Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1a, three Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1b, and three Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1c
    D. Deploy two Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1a, two Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1b, and two Amazon EC2 instances in sa-east-1c

  • Question 404:

    An organization designs a mobile application for their customers to upload photos to a site. The application needs a secure login with MFA. The organization wants to limit the initial build time and maintenance of the solution. Which solution should a Solutions Architect recommend to meet the requirements?

    A. Use Amazon Cognito Identity with SMS-based MFA.
    B. Edit AWS IAM policies to require MFA for all users.
    C. Federate IAM against corporate AD that requires MFA.
    D. Use Amazon API Gateway and require SSE for photos.

  • Question 405:

    A Solutions Architect is designing a new application that needs to access data in a different AWS account located within the same region. The data must not be accessed over the Internet. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LOWEST cost?

    A. Add rules to the security groups in each account.
    B. Establish a VPC Peering connection between accounts.
    C. Configure Direct Connect in each account.
    D. Add a NAT Gateway to the data account.

  • Question 406:

    An application currently stores objects in Amazon S3-Standard. The application accesses new objects frequently for one week. After one week, they are accessed occasionally for analysis batch jobs. A Solutions Architect has been asked to reduce storage costs for the application while allowing immediate access for batch jobs.

    How can costs be reduced without reducing data durability?

    A. Create a lifecycle policy that moves Amazon S3 data to Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access storage after 7 days. After 30 days, move the data to Amazon Glacier.
    B. Keep the data on Amazon S3, and create a lifecycle policy to move S3 data to Amazon Glacier after 7 days.
    C. Move all Amazon S3 data to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access storage, and create a lifecycle policy to move the data to Amazon Glacier after 7 days.
    D. Keep the data on Amazon S3, then create a lifecycle policy to move the data to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access storage after 7 days.

  • Question 407:

    To meet compliance standards, a company must have encrypted archival data storage. Data will be accessed infrequently, with lead times well in advance of when archived data must be recovered. The company requires that the storage be secure, durable, and provided at the lowest price per 1TB of data stored.

    What type of storage should be used?

    A. Amazon S3
    B. Amazon EBS
    C. Amazon Glacier
    D. Amazon EFS

  • Question 408:

    A legacy application needs to interact with local storage using iSCSI. A team needs to design a reliable storage solution to provision all new storage on AWS. Which storage solution meets the legacy application requirements?

    A. AWS Snowball storage for the legacy application until the application can be re-architected.
    B. AWS Storage Gateway in cached mode for the legacy application storage to write data to Amazon S3.
    C. AWS Storage Gateway in stored mode for the legacy application storage to write data to Amazon S3.
    D. An Amazon S3 volume mounted on the legacy application server locally using the File Gateway service.

  • Question 409:

    A development team is building an application with front-end and backend application tiers. Each tier consists of Amazon EC2 instances behind an ELB Classic Load Balancer. The instances run in Auto Scaling groups across multiple Availability Zones. The network team has allocated the 10.0.0.0/24 address space for this application. Only the front-end load balancer should be exposed to the Internet. There are concerns about the limited size of the address space and the ability of each tier to scale.

    What should the VPC subnet design be in each Availability Zone?

    A. One public subnet for the load balancer tier, one public subnet for the front-end tier, and one private subnet for the backend tier.
    B. One shared public subnet for all tiers of the application.
    C. One public subnet for the load balancer tier and one shared private subnet for the application tiers.
    D. One shared private subnet for all tiers of the application.

  • Question 410:

    A web application stores all data in an Amazon RDS Aurora database instance. A Solutions Architect wants to provide access to the data for a detailed report for the Marketing team, but is concerned that the additional load on the database will affect the performance of the web application.

    How can the report be created without affecting the performance of the application?

    A. Create a read replica of the database.
    B. Provision a new RDS instance as a secondary master.
    C. Configure the database to be in multiple regions.
    D. Increase the number of provisioned storage IOPS.
