    C. Create an Amazon SQS queue to hold the jobs that needs to be processed Create an Amazon Machine image (AMI) that consists of the processor application Create a launch template that uses the AMI Create an Auto Scaling group using the launch template Set the scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group to add and remove nodes based on the number of items in the SQS queue

    D. Create an Amazon SNS topic to send the jobs that need to be processed Create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that consists of the processor application Create a launch template that uses the AMI Create an Auto Scaling group using the launch template Set the scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group to add and remove nodes based on the number of messages published to the SNS topic

  • Question 955:

    A company has an AWS Glue extract. transform, and load (ETL) job that runs every day at the same time. The job processes XML data that is in an Amazon S3 bucket.

    New data is added to the S3 bucket every day. A solutions architect notices that AWS Glue is processing all the data during each run.

    What should the solutions architect do to prevent AWS Glue from reprocessing old data?

    A. Edit the job to use job bookmarks.

    B. Edit the job to delete data after the data is processed

    C. Edit the job by setting the NumberOfWorkers field to 1.

    D. Use a FindMatches machine learning (ML) transform.

  • Question 956:

    A company wants to reduce the cost of its existing three-tier web architecture. The web, application, and database servers are running on Amazon EC2 instances for the development, test, and production environments. The EC2 instances average 30% CPU utilization during peak hours and 10% CPU utilization during non-peak hours.

    The production EC2 instances run 24 hours a day. The development and test EC2 instances run for at least 8 hours each day. The company plans to implement automation to stop the development and test EC2 instances when they are not in use.

    Which EC2 instance purchasing solution will meet the company's requirements MOST cost-effectively?

    A. Use Spot Instances for the production EC2 instances. Use Reserved Instances for the development and test EC2 instances.

    B. Use Reserved Instances for the production EC2 instances. Use On-Demand Instances for the development and test EC2 instances.

    C. Use Spot blocks for the production EC2 instances. Use Reserved Instances for the development and test EC2 instances.

    D. Use On-Demand Instances for the production EC2 instances. Use Spot blocks for the development and test EC2 instances.

  • Question 957:

    A company is building an ecommerce web application on AWS. The application sends information about new orders to an Amazon API Gateway REST API to process. The company wants to ensure that orders are processed in the order that they are received.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Use an API Gateway integration to publish a message to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic when the application receives an order. Subscribe an AWS Lambda function to the topic to perform processing.

    B. Use an API Gateway integration to send a message to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) FIFO queue when the application receives an order. Configure the SQS FIFO queue to invoke an AWS Lambda function for processing.

  • Question 960:

    A company runs an online marketplace web application on AWS. The application serves hundreds of thousands of users during peak hours.
