A mobile gaming company is expanding into the global market. The company's game servers run in the
us-east-1 Region. The game's client application uses UDP to communicate with the game servers and needs to be able to connect to a set of static IP addresses.
The company wants its game to be accessible on multiple continents. The company also wants the game to maintain its network performance and global availability.
Which solution meets these requirements?

1. A. Provision an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in front of the game servers Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution that has no geographical restrictions Set the ALB as the origin Perform DNS lookups for the cloudfront net domain name Use the resulting IP addresses in the game's client application.
2. B. Provision game servers in each AWS Regio
3. C. Provision an Application Load Balancer in front of the game server
4. D. Create an Amazon Route 53 latency-based routing policy for the game's client application to use with DNS lookups
5. E. Provision game servers in each AWS Region Provision a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in front of thegame servers Create an accelerator in AWS Global Accelerator, and configure endpoint groups in each Region Associate the NLBs with the corresponding Regional endpoint groups Point the game client's application to the Global Accelerator endpoints
6. F. Provision game servers in each AWS Region Provision a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in front of the game servers Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution that has no geographical restrictions Set the NLB as the origin Perform DNS lookups for the cloudfront net domain nam
7. G. Use the resulting IP addresses in the game's client application

Correct Answer: A

A solutions architect is migrating an existing workload to AWS Fargate. The task can only run in a private subnet within the VPC where there is no direct connectivity from outside the system to the application When the Fargate task is launched the task fails with the following error:

How should the solutions architect correct this error?

1. A. Ensure the task is set to ENABLED for the auto-assign public IP setting when launching the task
2. B. Ensure the task is set to DISABLED (or the auto-assign public IP setting when launching the task Configure a NAT gateway in the public subnet in the VPC to route requests to the internet
3. C. Ensure the task is set to DISABLED for the auto-assign public IP setting when launching the task Configure a NAT gateway in the private subnet in the VPC to route requests to the internet
4. D. Ensure the network mode is set to bridge in the Fargate task definition

Correct Answer: B

A company wants to migrate an application to Amazon EC2 from VMware Infrastructure that runs in an
on-premises data center. A solutions architect must preserve the software and configuration settings during the migration.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

1. A. Configure the AWS DataSync agent to start replicating the data store to Amazon FSx for Windows File Server Use the SMB share to host the VMware data stor
2. B. Use VM Import/Export to move the VMs to Amazon EC2.
3. C. Use the VMware vSphere client to export the application as an image in Open Virealization Format (OVF) format Create an Amazon S3 bucket to store the image in the destination AWS Regio
4. D. Create and apply an IAM role for VM Import Use the AWS CLI to run the EC2 import command.
5. E. Configure AWS Storage Gateway for files service to export a Common Internet File System (CIFSJ shar
6. F. Create a backup copy to the shared folde
7. G. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and create an AMI from the backup copy Launch an EC2 instance that is based on the AMI.
8. H. Create a managed-instance activation for a hybrid environment in AWS Systems Manage
9. I. Download and install Systems Manager Agent on the on-premises VM Register the VM with Systems Manager to be a managed instance Use AWS Backup to create a snapshot of the VM and create an AM
10. J. Launch an EC2 instance that is based on the AMI

Correct Answer: B

- Export an OVF Template
- Create / use an Amazon S3 bucket for storing the exported images. The bucket must be in the Region where you want to import your VMs.
- Create an IAM role named vmimport.
- You'll use AWS CLI to run the import commands. https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/import-instances/

A solutions architect has been assigned to migrate a 50 TB Oracle data warehouse that contains sales data from on-premises to Amazon Redshift Major updates to the sales data occur on the final calendar day of the month For the remainder of the month, the data warehouse only receives minor daily updates and is primarily used for reading and reporting Because of this the migration process must start on the first day of the month and must be complete before the next set of updates occur. This provides approximately 30 days to complete the migration and ensure that the minor daily changes have been synchronized with the Amazon Redshift data warehouse Because the migration cannot impact normal business network operations, the bandwidth allocated to the migration for moving data over the internet is 50 Mbps The company wants to keep data migration costs low
Which steps will allow the solutions architect to perform the migration within the specified timeline?

1. A. Install Oracle database software on an Amazon EC2 instance Configure VPN connectivity between AWS and the company's data center Configure the Oracle database running on Amazon EC2 to join the Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) When the Oracle database on Amazon EC2 finishes synchronizing, create an AWS DMS ongoing replication task to migrate the data from the Oracle database on Amazon EC2 to Amazon Redshift Verify the data migration is complete and perform the cut over to Amazon Redshift.
2. B. Create an AWS Snowball import job Export a backup of the Oracle data warehouse Copy the exported data to the Snowball device Return the Snowball device to AWS Create an Amazon RDS for Oracle database and restore the backup file to that RDS instance Create an AWS DMS task to migrate the data from the RDS for Oracle database to Amazon Redshift Copy daily incremental backups from Oracle in the data center to the RDS for Oracle database over the internet Verify the data migration is complete and perform the cut over to Amazon Redshift.
3. C. Install Oracle database software on an Amazon EC2 instance To minimize the migration time configure VPN connectivity between AWS and the company's data center by provisioning a 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection Configure the Oracle database running on Amazon EC2 to be a read replica of the data center Oracle database Start the synchronization process between the company's on-premises data center and the Oracle database on Amazon EC2 When the Oracle database on Amazon EC2 is synchronized with the on-premises database create an AWS DMS ongoing replication task from the Oracle database read replica that is running on Amazon EC2 to Amazon Redshift Verify the data migration is complete and perform the cut over to Amazon Redshift.
4. D. Create an AWS Snowball import jo
5. E. Configure a server in the company€™s data center with an extraction agen
6. F. Use AWS SCT to manage the extraction agent and convert the Oracle schema to an Amazon Redshift schem
7. G. Create a new project in AWS SCT using the registered data extraction agen
8. H. Create a local task and an AWS DMS task in AWS SCT with replication of ongoing change
9. I. Copy data to the Snowball device and return the Snowball device to AW
10. J. Allow AWS DMS to copy data from Amazon S3 to Amazon Redshif
11. K. Verify that the data migration is complete and perform the cut over to Amazon Redshift.

Correct Answer: D
Create an AWS Snowball import job. Configure a server in the company€™s data center with an extraction agent. Use AWS SCT to manage the extraction agent and convert the Oracle schema to an Amazon Redshift schema. Create a new project in AWS SCT using the registered data extraction agent. Create a local task and an AWS DMS task in AWS SCT with replication of ongoing changes. Copy data to the Snowball device and return the Snowball device to AWS. Allow AWS DMS to copy data from Amazon S3 to Amazon Redshift. Verify that the data migration is complete and perform the cut over to Amazon Redshift.
