SAP-C02 Exam Dumps : AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional

According to the AWS documentation1, AWS App2Container (A2C) is a command line tool for migrating and modernizing Java and .NET web applications into container format. AWS A2C analyzes and builds an inventory of applications running in bare metal, virtual machines, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, or in the cloud. You can use AWS A2C to generate container images for your applications and deploy them on Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS.

Option A meets the requirements of the scenario because it allows you to migrate your existing Java application to AWS and minimize the administrative overhead to maintain the servers. You can use AWS A2C to analyze your application dependencies, extract application artifacts, and generate a Dockerfile. You can then store your container images in Amazon ECR, which is a fully managed container registry service. You can use AWS Fargate as the launch type for your Amazon ECS cluster, which is a serverless compute engine that eliminates the need to provision and manage servers for your containers. You can grant the ECS task execution role permission to access the ECR image repository, which allows your tasks to pull images from ECR. You can configure Amazon ECS to use an ALB, whichis a load balancer that distributes traffic across multiple targets in multiple Availability Zones using HTTP or HTTPS protocols. You can use the ALB to interact with your application.

The company wants to move from a manual EC2 and EBS-based workflow to a containerized application on Amazon EKS and automate data movement. The solution must:

Support automated transfer of raw and processed data.

Offer multiprotocol support.

Be directly usable from the EKS cluster as a mounted volume.

Minimize operational effort by using managed services where possible.

AWS DataSync is a managed service designed to move data between on-premises storage and AWS storage services or between AWS storage services. It can perform scheduled or continuous transfers with minimal operational overhead. For storage accessible from Amazon EKS, a shared file system that supports mounting as a volume is appropriate.

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP provides a fully managed file system with multiprotocol support, including NFS and SMB, and supports features such as snapshots and storage efficiencies. Because it supports multiple protocols, it satisfies the requirement for multiprotocol access and can be mounted by applications running in Amazon EKS using standard Kubernetes persistent volume mechanisms.

In the correct solution (option C), DataSync is used to copy raw data from the on-premises environment to FSx for NetApp ONTAP. The FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system is then mounted as a volume in the EKS cluster, allowing the containerized analytics processing logic to read and write data directly. After processing, DataSync is again used to copy processed data from FSx for NetApp ONTAP to Amazon S3 for long-term storage. This leverages DataSync’s native integration with both FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Amazon S3, and avoids the need to run or manage custom upload tooling.

Option A uses Amazon EFS, which supports NFS but does not provide multiprotocol support (for example, SMB), so it does not fully meet the multiprotocol requirement. It also introduces AWS Transfer for SFTP for the processed data upload, which adds an additional managed endpoint and SFTP-based flow, increasing complexity relative to using DataSync end-to-end.

Option B uses Amazon FSx for Lustre, which is optimized for high-performance compute workloads and integrates well with S3, but it is not a multiprotocol file system and is typically accessed via NFS. It does not meet the stated multiprotocol requirement.

Option D uses FSx for NetApp ONTAP (which supports multiprotocol) but relies on AWS Transfer for SFTP to move processed data to S3. While this can work, it adds another managed input endpoint and requires SFTP client configuration and management. Using DataSync directly from FSx for NetApp ONTAP to Amazon S3 (as in option C) is more straightforward, better suited for automated large-scale transfers, and involves less operational overhead.

Therefore, option C meets all the requirements with the least operational effort by using DataSync with FSx for NetApp ONTAP and S3.

RDS Proxyoptimizes and pools DB connections. By combining this withPrivateLink + NLB, other accounts can securely access the proxy endpoint without going over the internet or setting up peering for every new account.
