A company stores a large volume of image files in an Amazon S3 bucket. The images need to be readily available for the first 180 days. The images are infrequently accessed for the next 180 days. After 360 days, the images need to be
archived but must be available instantly upon request. After 5 years, only auditors can access the images. The auditors must be able to retrieve the images within 12 hours. The images cannot be lost during this process.

B. Transition the objects to S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) after 180 days. S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 360 days, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 5 years.
C. Transition the objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) after 180 days, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval after 360 days, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 5 years.
D. Transition the objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) after 180 days, S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 360 days, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 5 years.

B. Migrate to Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon EC2. Use Always On read replicas for reporting purposes
C. Migrate to Amazon DynamoDB. Use DynamoDB on-demand replicas for reporting purposes
D. Migrate to Amazon Aurora MySQL. Use Aurora read replicas for reporting purposes
An ecommerce company runs a PostgreSQL database on premises. The database stores data by using high IOPS Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) block storage. The daily peak I/O transactions per second do not exceed 15,000 IOPS. The company wants to migrate the database to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and provision disk IOPS performance independent of disk storage capacity. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?
A. Configure the General Purpose SSD (gp2) EBS volume storage type and provision 15,000 IOPS.
B. Configure the Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volume storage type and provision 15,000 IOPS.
C. Configure the General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volume storage type and provision 15,000 IOPS.
D. Configure the EBS magnetic volume type to achieve maximum IOPS.
A weather forecasting company needs to process hundreds of gigabytes of data with sub-millisecond latency. The company has a high performance computing (HPC) environment in its data center and wants to expand its forecasting
capabilities. A solutions architect must identify a highly available cloud storage solution that can handle large amounts of sustained throughput. Files that are stored in the solution should be accessible to thousands of compute instances that
will simultaneously access and process the entire dataset.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
A. Use Amazon FSx for Lustre scratch file systems.
B. Use Amazon FSx for Lustre persistent file systems.
C. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) with Bursting Throughput mode.
D. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) with Provisioned Throughput mode.
A gaming company is building an application with Voice over IP capabilities. The application will serve traffic to users across the world. The application needs to be highly available with an automated failover across AWS Regions. The
company wants to minimize the latency of users without relying on IP address caching on user devices.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
A. Use AWS Global Accelerator with health checks.
B. Use Amazon Route 53 with a geolocation routing policy.
C. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution that includes multiple origins.
D. Create an Application Load Balancer that uses path-based routing.
A solutions architect needs to host a high performance computing (HPC) workload in the AWS Cloud. The workload will run on hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances and will require parallel access to a shared file system to enable distributed
processing of large datasets. Datasets will be accessed across multiple instances simultaneously. The workload requires access latency within 1 ms. After processing has completed, engineers will need access to the dataset for manual
postprocessing.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) as a shared file system. Access the dataset from Amazon EFS.
B. Mount an Amazon S3 bucket to serve as the shared file system. Perform postprocessing directly from the S3 bucket.
C. Use Amazon FSx for Lustre as a shared file system. Link the file system to an Amazon S3 bucket for postprocessing.
D. Configure AWS Resource Access Manager to share an Amazon S3 bucket so that it can be mounted to all instances for processing and postprocessing.
A company uses AWS Cost Explorer to monitor its AWS costs. The company notices that Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) storage and snapshot costs increase every month. However, the company does not purchase additional EBS storage every month. The company wants to optimize monthly costs for its current storage usage.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A. Use logs in Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor the storage utilization of Amazon EBS. Use Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes to reduce the size of the EBS volumes.
B. Use a custom script to monitor space usage. Use Amazon EBS Elastic Volumes to reduce the size of the EBS volumes.
C. Delete all expired and unused snapshots to reduce snapshot costs.
D. Delete all nonessential snapshots. Use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to create and manage the snapshots according to the company's snapshot policy requirements.
A company runs applications on AWS that connect to the company's Amazon RDS database. The applications scale on weekends and at peak times of the year. The company wants to scale the database more effectively for its applications that connect to the database.

B. Use Amazon RDS Proxy with a target group for the database. Change the applications to use the RDS Proxy endpoint.
C. Use a custom proxy that runs on Amazon EC2 as an intermediary to the database. Change the applications to use the custom proxy endpoint.

A. Configure an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic properly to the instances.
B. Configure a dynamic scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group to launch new instances based on memory utilization.
C. Configure a dynamic scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group to launch new instances based on CPU utilization.
