Question 1

A company is deploying a third-party web application to an AWS account. The company wants to deploy the application across multiple Amazon EC2 instances. The company must have the ability to scale horizontally when necessary. The application uses browser cookies for session state management. The application requires session affinity.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

A.

Assign each EC2 instance a public IP address. Configure an Amazon Route 53 multivalue A record for the application. Enable health checks for the A record. Configure a Route 53 Resolver rule that ensures a specific cookie value will consistently return the same EC2 instance. Access the application by using the Route 53 A record.

B.

Place the EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution and set the Auto Scaling group as the origin. Create a CloudFront function to handle viewer requests. Include cookie processing logic to ensure that users are directed to the correct EC2 instance. Access the application by using the CloudFront distribution URL.

C.

Place the EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. Configure a public Application Load Balancer (ALB), and configure the ALB to direct traffic for the application to the Auto Scaling group. Enable sticky sessions on the target group for the application cookies. Access the application by using the ALB domain name.

D.

Configure a Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB). Register the EC2 instances as a target group by using their instance IDs. Enable flow stickiness on the target group. Access the application by using the GWLB domain name.
