Question 109

A company is processing videos in the AWS Cloud by using Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. It takes 30 minutes to process a video. Several EC2 instances scale in and out depending on the number of videos in an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue.

The company has configured the SQS queue with a redrive policy that specifies a target dead-letter queue and a maxReceiveCount of 1. The company has set the visibility timeout for the SQS queue to 1 hour. The company has set up an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to notify the development team when there are messages in the dead-letter queue.

Several times during the day, the development team receives notification that messages are in the dead-letter queue and that videos have not been processed properly. An investigation finds no errors in the application logs.

How can the company solve this problem?

Options:

Turn on termination protection for the EC2 instances.

Update the visibility timeout for the SOS queue to 3 hours.

Configure scale-in protection for the instances during processing.

Update the redrive policy and set maxReceiveCount to 0.

Question 110

A company is migrating an application from on-premises infrastructure to the AWS Cloud. During migration design meetings, the company expressed concerns about the availability and recovery options for its legacy Windows file server. The file server contains sensitive business-critical data that cannot be recreated in the event of data corruption or data loss. According to compliance requirements, the data must not travel across the public internet. The company wants to move to AWS managed services where possible.

The company decides to store the data in an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system. A solutions architect must design a solution that copies the data to another AWS Region for disaster recovery (DR) purposes.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

Create a destination Amazon S3 bucket in the DR Region. Establish connectivity between the FSx for Windows File Server file system in the primary Region and the S3 bucket in the DR Region by using Amazon FSx File Gateway. Configure the S3 bucket as a continuous backup source in FSx File Gateway.

Create an FSx for Windows File Server file system in the DR Region. Establish connectivity between the VPC in the primary Region and the VPC in the DR Region by using AWS Site-to-Site VPN. Configure AWS DataSync to communicate by using VPN endpoints.

Create an FSx for Windows File Server file system in the DR Region. Establish connectivity between the VPC in the primary Region and the VPC in the DR Region by using VPC peering. Configure AWS DataSync to communicate by using interface VPC endpoints with AWS PrivateLink.

Create an FSx for Windows File Server file system in the DR Region. Establish connectivity between the VPC in the primary Region and the VPC in the DR Region by using AWS Transit Gateway in each Region. Use AWS Transfer Family to copy files between the FSx for Windows File Server file system in the primary Region and the FSx for Windows File Server file system in the DR Region over the private AWS backbone network.

Question 111

A company has an organization in AWS Organizations. The company is using AWS Control Tower to deploy a landing zone for the organization. The company wants to implement governance and policy enforcement. The company must implement a policy that will detect Amazon RDS DB instances that are not encrypted at rest in the company’s production OU.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

Options:

Turn on mandatory guardrails in AWS Control Tower. Apply the mandatory guardrails to the production OU.

Enable the appropriate guardrail from the list of strongly recommended guardrails in AWS Control Tower. Apply the guardrail to the production OU.

Use AWS Config to create a new mandatory guardrail. Apply the rule to all accounts in the production OU.

Create a custom SCP in AWS Control Tower. Apply the SCP to the production OU.

Question 112

A company is deploying a new API to AWS. The API uses Amazon API Gateway with a Regional API endpoint and an AWS Lambda function for hosting. The API retrieves data from an external vendor API, stores data in an Amazon DynamoDB global table, and retrieves data from the DynamoDB global table. The API key for the vendor's API is stored in AWS Secrets Manager and is encrypted with a customer managed key in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). The company has deployed its own API into a single AWS Region.

A solutions architect needs to change the API components of the company's API to ensure that the components can run across multiple Regions in an active-active configuration.

Which combination of changes will meet this requirement with the LEAST operational overhead? (Choose three.)

Options:

Deploy the API to multiple Regions. Configure Amazon Route 53 with custom domain names that route traffic to each Regional API endpoint. Implement a Route 53 multivalue answer routing policy.

Create a new KMS multi-Region customer managed key. Create a new KMS customer managed replica key in each in-scope Region.

Replicate the existing Secrets Manager secret to other Regions. For each in-scope Region's replicated secret, select the appropriate KMS key.

Create a new AWS managed KMS key in each in-scope Region. Convert an existing key to a multi-Region key. Use the multi-Region key in other Regions.

Create a new Secrets Manager secret in each in-scope Region. Copy the secret value from the existing Region to the new secret in each in-scope Region.

Modify the deployment process for the Lambda function to repeat the deployment across in-scope Regions. Turn on the multi-Region option for the existing API. Select the Lambda function that is deployed in each Region as the backend for the multi-Region API.

Answer:

A, B, C

Explanation:

The combination of changes that will meet the requirement with the least operational overhead are:

A. Deploy the API to multiple Regions. Configure Amazon Route 53 with custom domain names that route traffic to each Regional API endpoint.Implement a Route 53 multivalue answer routing policy.

B. Create a new KMS multi-Region customer managed key. Create a new KMS customer managed replica key in each in-scope Region.

C. Replicate the existing Secrets Manager secret to other Regions. For each in-scope Region’s replicated secret, select the appropriate KMS key.

These changes will enable the company to have an active-active configuration for its API across multiple Regions, while minimizing the complexity and cost of managing the secrets and keys.

A. This change will allow the company to use Route 53 to distribute traffic across multiple Regional API endpoints, based on the availability and latency of each endpoint.This will improve the performance and availability of the API for global customers12

B. This change will allow the company to use KMS multi-Region keys, which are KMS keys in different Regions that can be used interchangeably.This will simplify the encryption and decryption of secrets across Regions, as the same key material and key ID can be used in any Region34

C. This change will allow the company to use Secrets Manager replication, which replicates the encrypted secret data and metadata across the specified Regions.This will ensure that the secrets are consistent and accessible in any Region, andthat any update made to the primary secret will be propagated to the replica secrets automatically56
