Amazon Amazon Certifications SAA-C03 Questions & Answers

  • Question 11:

    A company wants to create an Amazon EMR cluster that multiple teams will use.

    D. Encrypt the data by using client-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys.

  • Question 14:

    A large international university has deployed all of its compute services in the AWS Cloud. These services include Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, and Amazon DynamoDB. The university currently relies on many custom scripts to back up its infrastructure. However, the university wants to centralize management and automate data backups as much as possible by using AWS native options.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Use third-party backup software with an AWS Storage Gateway tape gateway virtual tape library.

    B. Use AWS Backup to configure and monitor all backups for the services in use.

    C. Use AWS Config to set lifecycle management to take snapshots of all data sources on a schedule.

    D. Use AWS Systems Manager State Manager to manage the configuration and monitoring of backup tasks.

  • Question 15:

    A company uses Amazon EC2 instances and AWS Lambda functions to run its application. The company has VPCs with public subnets and private subnets in its AWS account. The EC2 instances run in a private subnet in one of the VPCs. The Lambda functions need direct network access to the EC2 instances for the application to work.

    The application will run for at least 1 year. The company expects the number of Lambda functions that the application uses to increase during that time. The company wants to maximize its savings on all application resources and to keep network latency between the services low.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Purchase on an EC2 instance Savings Plan. Optimize the Lambda functions duration and memory usage and the number of invocations. Connect the Lambda functions to the private subnet that contains the EC2 instances.

    B. Purchase on an EC2 instance Savings Plan. Optimize the Lambda functions duration and memory usage and the number of invocation, and the amount of data that is transfered. Connect the Lambda functions to a public subnet in the same VPC where the EC2 instances run.

    C. Purchase a Compute Savings Plan. Optimize the Lambda functions duration and memory usage, the number of invocations, and the amount of data that is transferred Connect the Lambda function to the Private subnet that contains the EC2 instances.

    D. Purchase a Compute Savings Plan. Optimize the Lambda functions` duration and memory usage, the number of invocations, and the amount of data that is transferred Keep the Lambda functions in the Lambda service VPC.

  • Question 16:

    A company's data platform uses an Amazon Aurora MySQL database. The database has multiple read replicas and multiple DB instances across different Availability Zones. Users have recently reported errors from the database that indicate that there are too many connections. The company wants to reduce the failover time by 20% when a read replica is promoted to primary writer.

    Which solution will meet this requirement?

    A. Switch from Aurora to Amazon RDS with Multi-AZ cluster deployment.

    B. Use Amazon RDS Proxy in front of the Aurora database.

    C. Switch to Amazon DynamoDB with DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) for read connections.

    D. Switch to Amazon Redshift with relocation capability.

  • Question 17:

    A solutions architect is designing the cloud architecture for a new stateless application that will be deployed on AWS. The solutions architect created an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) and launch template for the application.

    Based on the number of jobs that need to be processed, the processing must run in parallel while adding and removing application Amazon EC2 instances as needed. The application must be loosely coupled. The job items must be durably stored.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Create an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to send the jobs that need to be processed. Create an Auto Scaling group by using the launch template with the scaling policy set to add and remove EC2 instances based on CPU usage.

    B. Create an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue to hold the jobs that need to be processed. Create an Auto Scaling group by using the launch template with the scaling policy set to add and remove EC2 instances based on network usage.

    C. Create an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue to hold the jobs that need to be processed. Create an Auto Scaling group by using the launch template with the scaling policy set to add and remove EC2 instances based on the number of items in the SQS queue.

    D. Create an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic to send the jobs that need to be processed. Create an Auto Scaling group by using the launch template with the scaling policy set to add and remove EC2 instances based on the number of messages published to the SNS topic.
