A company has built a high performance computing (HPC) cluster in AWS for a tightly coupled workload that generates a large number of shared files stored in Amazon EFS. The cluster was performing well when the number of Amazon EC2 instances in the cluster was 100. However, when the company increased the cluster size to 1,000 EC2 instances, overall performance was well below expectations
Which collection of design choices should a solutions architect make to achieve the maximum performance from the HPC cluster? (Select THREE.)

1. A. Ensure the HPC cluster is launched within a single Availability Zone.
2. B. Launch the EC2 instances and attach elastic network interfaces in multiples of four.
3. C. Select EC2 instance types with an Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) enabled
4. D. Ensure the cluster is launched across multiple Availability Zones.
5. E. Replace Amazon EFS with multiple Amazon EBS volumes in a RAID array.
6. F. Replace Amazon EFS with Amazon FSx for Lustre.

A company that uses AWS Organizations is creating several new AWS accounts. The company is setting up controls to properly allocate AWS costs to business units. The company must Implement a solution to ensure that all resources include a tag that has a key of costcenter and a value from a predefined list of business units. The solution must send a notification each time a resource tag does not meet these criteria. The solution must not prevent the creation of resources.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

1. A. Create an IAM policy for all actions that create AWS resource
2. B. Add a condition to the policy that aws:RequestTag/costcenter must exist and must contain a valid business unit valu
3. C. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule that monitors IAM service events and Amazon EC2 service events for noncompliant tag policie
4. D. Configure the rule to send notifications through Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).
5. E. Create an IAM policy for all actions that create AWS resource
6. F. Add a condition to the policy that awsResourceTag/costcenter must exist and must contain avalid business unit value Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule that monitors IAM service events and Amazon EC2 service events for noncompliant tag policie
7. G. Configure the rule to send notifications through Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).
8. H. Create an organization tag policy that ensures that all resources have the costcenter tag with a valid business unit valu
9. I. Do not select the option to prevent operations when tags are noncomplian
10. J. Create an Amazon Event8ridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule that monitors all events for noncompliant tag policie
11. K. Configure the rule to send notifications through Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).
12. L. Create an organization tag policy that ensures that all resources have the costcenter tag with a valid business unit valu
13. M. Select the option to prevent operations when tags are noncompliant Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule that monitors all events for noncompliant tag policie

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 automatically?

1. A. Run a script nightly using AWS Systems Manager Run Command to search for credentials on the development instances If found use AWS Secrets Manager to rotate the credentials.
2. B. 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
3. C. Configure Amazon Macie to scan for credentials in CodeCommit repositories If credentials are found, trigger an AWS Lambda function to disable the credentials and notify the user
4. D. Configure a CodeCommit trigger to invoke an AWS Lambda function to scan new code submissions for credentials If credentials are found, disable them in AWS IAM and notify the user.
