SAA-C03 Reviews Questions

This option is the most efficient because it uses a predictive scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group, which isa type of scaling policy that uses machine learning to predict capacity requirements based on historical data from CloudWatch1. It also configures the policy to scale based on forecast, which enables the Auto Scaling group to adjust its capacity in advance of trafficchanges. It also sets the scaling metric to CPU utilization and the target value for the metric to 60%, which aligns with the baseline CPU utilization that is noted on each run. It also sets the instances to pre-launch 30 minutes before the jobs run, which ensures that enough capacity is provisioned before the weekly scripted batch jobs start. This solution meets the requirement of provisioning the capacity 30 minutes before the jobs run with the leastoperational overhead. Option A is less efficient because it uses a dynamic scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group, which is a type of scaling policy that adjusts your Auto Scaling group’s capacity in response to changing demand2. However, this does not provide a way to provision the capacity 30 minutes before the jobs run, as it only reacts to changing traffic. Option B is less efficientbecause it uses a scheduled scaling policy for the Auto Scaling group, which is a type of scaling policy that lets you scale your Auto Scaling group based on a schedule that you create3. However, this does not provide a way to scale based on forecast or CPU utilization, as it only scales based on predefined metrics and policies. Option D is less efficient because it uses an Amazon EventBridge event to invoke an AWS Lambda function when the CPU utilization metric value for the Auto Scaling group reaches 60%, which is a way to trigger serverless functions based on events. However, this does not provide a way to provision the capacity 30 minutes before the jobs run, as it only reacts to changing traffic.

As they would like to retrieve the data with sub-millisecond, DynamoDB with DAX is the answer. DynamoDB supports some of the world's largest scale applications by providing consistent, single-digit millisecond response times at any scale. You can build applications with virtually unlimited throughput and storage.

The most efficient solution for automatically starting and stopping EC2 instances and DB instances on a schedule while minimizing cost and infrastructure maintenance is to create an AWS Lambda function and configure Amazon EventBridge to invoke the function on a schedule.

Option A, scaling EC2 instances by using elastic resize and scaling DB instances to zero outside of business hours, is not feasible as DB instances cannot be scaled to zero.

Option B, exploring AWS Marketplace for partner solutions, may be an option, but it may not be the most efficient solution and could potentially add additional costs.

Option C, launching another EC2 instance and configuring a crontab schedule to run shell scripts that will start and stop the existing EC2 instances and DB instances on a schedule, adds unnecessary infrastructure and maintenance.

" online across multiple AWS Regions at all times". Currently only Read Replica supports cross-regions , Multi-AZ does not support cross-region (it works only in same
