Amazon Amazon Certifications SAA-C03 Questions & Answers

  • Question 71:

    A company uses Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL to run its applications in the us-east-1 Region. The company also uses machine learning (ML) models to forecast annual revenue based on near real-time reports. The reports are generated by using the same RDS for PostgreSQL database. The database performance slows during business hours. The company needs to improve database performance.

    Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

    A. Create a cross-Region read replica. Configure the reports to be generated from the read replica.

    B. Activate Multi-AZ DB instance deployment for RDS for PostgreSQL. Configure the reports to be generated from the standby database.

    C. Use AWS Data Migration Service (AWS DMS) to logically replicate data to a new database. Configure the reports to be generated from the new database.

    D. Create a read replica in us-east-1. Configure the reports to be generated from the read replica.

  • Question 72:

    A company runs a self-managed Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). Daily snapshots are taken of the EBS volumes.

    Recently, all the company's EBS snapshots were accidentally deleted while running a snapshot cleaning script that deletes all expired EBS snapshots. A solutions architect needs to update the architecture to prevent data loss without retaining EBS snapshots indefinitely.

  • Question 75:

    A company currently runs an on-premises application that usesASP.NET on Linux machines. The application is resource-intensive and serves customers directly.

    maintenance activities.

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

    A. Use AWS App2Container to containerize the application. Use an AWS CloudFormation template to deploy the application to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on AWS Fargate.

    B. Use AWS App2Container to containerize the application. Use an AWS CloudFormation template to deploy the application to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on Amazon EC2 instances.

    C. Use AWS App Runner to containerize the application. Use App Runner to deploy the application to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on AWS Fargate.

    D. Use AWS App Runner to containerize the application. Use App Runner to deploy the application to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) on Amazon EC2 instances.

  • Question 76:

    A company runs an SMB file server in its data center. The file server stores large files that the company frequently accesses for up to 7 days after the file creation date. After 7 days, the company needs to be able to access the files with a maximum retrieval time of 24 hours.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Use AWS DataSync to copy data that is older than 7 days from the SMB file server to AWS.

    B. Create an Amazon S3 File Gateway to increase the company's storage space. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition the data to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 7 days.

    C. Create an Amazon FSx File Gateway to increase the company's storage space. Create an Amazon S3 Lifecycle policy to transition the data after 7 days.

    D. Configure access to Amazon S3 for each user. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition the data to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 7 days.

  • Question 77:

    A company wants to improve the availability and performance of its hybrid application. The application consists of a stateful TCP-based workload hosted on Amazon EC2 instances in different AWS Regions and a stateless UDP-based workload hosted on premises.

    Which combination of actions should a solutions architect take to improve availability and performance? (Choose two.)

    A. Create an accelerator using AWS Global Accelerator. Add the load balancers as endpoints.

    B. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution with an origin that uses Amazon Route 53 latency-based routing to route requests to the load balancers.

    C. Configure two Application Load Balancers in each Region. The first will route to the EC2 endpoints, and the second will route to the on-premises endpoints.

    D. Configure a Network Load Balancer in each Region to address the EC2 endpoints. Configure a Network Load Balancer in each Region that routes to the on-premises endpoints.

    E. Configure a Network Load Balancer in each Region to address the EC2 endpoints. Configure an Application Load Balancer in each Region that routes to the on-premises endpoints.

  • Question 78:

    A company that is in the ap-northeast-1 Region has a fleet of thousands of AWS Outposts servers. The company has deployed the servers at remote locations around the world. All the servers regularly download new software versions that

  • Question 80:

    A company is building a cloud-based application on AWS that will handle sensitive customer data. The application uses Amazon RDS for the database, Amazon S3 for object storage, and S3 Event Notifications that invoke AWS Lambda for serverless processing.

    The company uses AWS IAM Identity Center to manage user credentials. The development, testing, and operations teams need secure access to Amazon RDS and Amazon S3 while ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive customer data. The solution must comply with the principle of least privilege.
