AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions and Answers

Question 89

A company hosts a software as a service (SaaS) solution on AWS. The solution has an Amazon API Gateway API that serves an HTTPS endpoint. The API uses AWS Lambda functions for compute. The Lambda functions store data in an Amazon Aurora Serverless VI database.

The company used the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) to deploy the solution. The solution extends across multiple Availability Zones and has nodisaster recovery (DR) plan.

A solutions architect must design a DR strategy that can recover the solution in another AWS Region. The solution has an R TO of 5 minutes and an RPO of 1 minute.

What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Options:

Create a read replica of the Aurora Serverless VI database in the target Region. Use AWS SAM to create a runbook to deploy the solution to the target Region. Promote the read replica to primary in case of disaster.

Change the Aurora Serverless VI database to a standard Aurora MySQL global database that extends across the source Region and the target Region. Use AWS SAM to create a runbook to deploy the solution to the target Region.

Create an Aurora Serverless VI DB cluster that has multiple writer instances in the target Region. Launch the solution in the target Region. Configure the two Regional solutions to work in an active-passive configuration.

Question 90

A company has used infrastructure as code (IaC) to provision a set of two Amazon EC2 instances. The instances have remained the same for several years.

The company's business has grown rapidly in the past few months. In response the company's operations team has implemented an Auto Scaling group to manage the sudden increases in traffic. Company policy requires a monthly installation of security updates on all operating systems that are running.

The most recent security update required a reboot. As a result, the Auto Scaling group terminated the instances and replaced them with new, unpatched instances.

Which combination of steps should a solutions architect recommend to avoid a recurrence of this issue? (Choose two.)

Options:

Modify the Auto Scaling group by setting the Update policy to target the oldest launch configuration for replacement.

Create a new Auto Scaling group before the next patch maintenance. During the maintenance window, patch both groups and reboot the instances.

Create an Elastic Load Balancer in front of the Auto Scaling group. Configure monitoring to ensure that target group health checks return healthy after the Auto Scaling group replaces the terminated instances.

Create automation scripts to patch an AMI, update the launch configuration, and invoke an Auto Scaling instance refresh.

Create an Elastic Load Balancer in front of the Auto Scaling group. Configure termination protection on the instances.

Question 91

During an audit, a security team discovered that a development team was putting IAM user secret access keys in their code and then committing it to an AWS CodeCommit repository. The security team wants to automatically find and remediate instances of this security vulnerability.

Which solution will ensure that the credentials are appropriately secured automatically7

Options:

Run a script nightly using AWS Systems Manager Run Command to search tor credentials on the development instances. If found. use AWS Secrets Manager to rotate the credentials.

Use a scheduled AWS Lambda function to download and scan the application code from CodeCommit. If credentials are found, generate new credentials and store them in AWS KMS.

Configure Amazon Made to scan for credentials in CodeCommit repositories. If credentials are found, trigger an AWS Lambda function to disable the credentials and notify the user.

Configure a CodeCommit trigger to invoke an AWS Lambda function to scan new code submissions for credentials. It credentials are found, disable them in AWS IAM and notify the user

Question 92

A company’s solutions architect is evaluating an AWS workload that was deployed several years ago. The application tier is stateless and runs on a single large Amazon EC2 instance that was launched from an AMI. The application stores data in a MySOL database that runs on a single EC2 instance.

The CPU utilization on the application server EC2 instance often reaches 100% and causes the application to stop responding. The company manually installs patches on the instances. Patching has caused

downtime in the past. The company needs to make the application highly available.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST development time?

Options:

Move the application tier to AWS Lambda functions in the existing VPC. Create an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic across theLambda functbns. Use Amazon GuardDuty to scan the Lambda functions. Migrate the database to Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility).

Change the EC2 instance type to a smaller Graviton powered instance type. use the existing AMI to create a launch template for an Auto Scaling group. Create an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic across the instances in the Auto Scaling group. Set the Auto Scaling group to scale based on CPU utilization. Migrate the database to Amazon DynamoDB.

Move the application tier to containers by using Docker. Run the containers on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with EC2 instances. Create an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic across the ECS cluster Configure the ECS cluster to scale based on CPU utilization. Migrate the database to Amazon Neptune.

Create a new AMI that is configured with AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent). Use the new AMI to create a launch template for an Auto Scaling group. Use smaller instances in the Auto Scaling group. Create an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic across the instances in the Auto Scaling group. Set the Auto Scaling group to scale based on CPU utilization. Migrate the database to Amazon Aurora MySQL.
