A company has migrated an application from on premises to AWS. The application frontend is a static website that runs on two Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application backend is a Python application that runs on three EC2 instances behind another ALB. The EC2 instances are large, general purpose On-Demand Instances that were sized to meet the on-premises specifications for peak usage of the application.
The application averages hundreds of thousands of requests each month. However, the application is used mainly during lunchtime and receives minimal traffic during the rest of the day.
A solutions architect needs to optimize the infrastructure cost of the application without negatively affecting the application availability.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

1. A. Change all the EC2 instances to compute optimized instances that have the same number of cores as the existing EC2 instances.
2. B. Move the application frontend to a static website that is hosted on Amazon S3.
3. C. Deploy the application frontend by using AWS Elastic Beanstal
4. D. Use the same instance type for the nodes.
5. E. Change all the backend EC2 instances to Spot Instances.
6. F. Deploy the backend Python application to general purpose burstable EC2 instances that have the same number of cores as the existing EC2 instances.

Correct Answer: BE

A company developed a pilot application by using AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Java. To save costs during development, the company's development team deployed the application into a single-instance environment. Recent tests indicate that the application consumes more CPU than expected. CPU utilization is regularly greater than 85%, which causes some performance bottlenecks.
A solutions architect must mitigate the performance issues before the company launches the application to production.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

1. A. Create a new Elastic Beanstalk applicatio
2. B. Select a load-balanced environment typ
3. C. Select all Availability Zone
4. D. Add a scale-out rule that will run if the maximum CPU utilization is over 85% for 5 minutes.
5. E. Create a second Elastic Beanstalk environmen
6. F. Apply the traffic-splitting deployment polic
7. G. Specify a percentage of incoming traffic to direct to the new environment in the average CPU utilization is over 85% for 5 minutes.
8. H. Modify the existing environment's capacity configuration to use a load-balanced environment type.Select all Availability Zone
9. I. Add a scale-out rule that will run if the average CPU utilization is over 85% for 5 minutes.
10. J. Select the Rebuild environment action with the load balancing option Select an Availability Zones Add a scale-out rule that will run if the sum CPU utilization is over 85% for 5 minutes.

Correct Answer: A

A company that uses AWS Organizations allows developers to experiment on AWS. As part of the landing zone that the company has deployed, developers use their company email address to request an account. The company wants to ensure that developers are not launching costly services or running services unnecessarily. The company must give developers a fixed monthly budget to limit their AWS costs.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

1. A. Create an SCP to set a fixed monthly account usage limi
2. B. Apply the SCP to the developer accounts.
3. C. Use AWS Budgets to create a fixed monthly budget for each developer's account as part of the account creation process.
4. D. Create an SCP to deny access to costly services and component
5. E. Apply the SCP to the developer accounts.
6. F. Create an IAM policy to deny access to costly services and component
7. G. Apply the IAM policy to the developer accounts.
8. H. Create an AWS Budgets alert action to terminate services when the budgeted amount is reached.Configure the action to terminate all services.
9. I. Create an AWS Budgets alert action to send an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notification when the budgeted amount is reache
10. J. Invoke an AWS Lambda function to terminate all services.

Correct Answer: BDF

A company is configuring connectivity to a multi-account AWS environment to support application workloads fiat serve users in a single geographic region. The workloads depend on a highly available, on-premises legacy system deployed across two locations It is critical for the AWS workloads to manias connectivity to the legacy system, and a minimum of 5 Gbps of bandwidth is required All application workloads within AWS must have connectivity with one another.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

1. A. Configure multiple AWS Direct Connect (OX) 10 Gbps dedicated connections from a DX partner for each on-premises location Create private virtual interfaces on each connection for each AWS account VPC Associate me private virtual interface with a virtual private gateway attached to each VPC
2. B. Configure multiple AWS Direct Connect (DX) 10 Gbps dedicated connections from two DX partners for each on-premises location Create and attach a virtual private gateway for each AWS account VP
3. C. Create a DX gateway m a central network account and associate it with the virtual private gateways Create a public virtual interface on each DX connection and associate the interface with me DX gateway.
4. D. Configure multiple AWS Direct Connect (DX) 10 Gbps dedicated connections from two DX partners for each on-premises location Create a transit gateway and a DX gateway in a central network accoun
5. E. Create a transit virtual interface for each DX interlace and associate them with the DX gatewa
6. F. Create a gateway association between the DX gateway and the transit gateway
7. G. Configure multiple AWS Direct Connect (DX) 10 Gbps dedicated connections from a DX partner for each on-premises location Create and attach a virtual private gateway for each AWS account VP
8. H. Create a transit gateway in a central network account and associate It with the virtual private gateways Create a transit virtual interface on each DX connection and attach the interface to the transit gateway.
