A solutions architect needs to advise a company on how to migrate its on-premises data processing application to the AWS Cloud. Currently, users upload input files through a web portal. The web server then stores the uploaded files on NAS and messages the processing server over a message queue. Each media file can take up to 1 hour to process. The company has determined that the number of media files awaiting processing is significantly higher during business hours, with the number of files rapidly declining after business hours.
What is the MOST cost-effective migration recommendation?

1. A. Create a queue using Amazon SQ
2. B. Configure the existing web server to publish to the new queue.When there are messages in the queue, invoke an AWS Lambda function to pull requests from the queue and process the file
3. C. Store the processed files in an Amazon S3 bucket.
4. D. Create a queue using Amazon M
5. E. Configure the existing web server to publish to the new queue.When there are messages in the queue, create a new Amazon EC2 instance to pull requests from the queue and process the file
6. F. Store the processed files in Amazon EF
7. G. Shut down the EC2 instance after the task is complete.
8. H. Create a queue using Amazon M
9. I. Configure the existing web server to publish to the new queue.When there are messages in the queue, invoke an AWS Lambda function to pull requests from the queue and process the file
10. J. Store the processed files in Amazon EFS.
11. K. Create a queue using Amazon SO
12. L. Configure the existing web server to publish to the new queu
13. M. Use Amazon EC2 instances in an EC2 Auto Scaling group to pull requests from the queue and process the file
14. N. Scale the EC2 instances based on the SOS queue lengt
15. O. Store the processed files in an Amazon S3 bucket.

A company has a new application that needs to run on five Amazon EC2 instances in a single AWS Region. The application requires high-throughput, low-latency network connections between all of the EC2 instances where the application will run. There is no requirement for the application to be fault tolerant.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

1. A. Launch five new EC2 instances into a cluster placement grou
2. B. Ensure that the EC2 instance type supports enhanced networking.
3. C. Launch five new EC2 instances into an Auto Scaling group in the same Availability Zon
4. D. Attach an extra elastic network interface to each EC2 instance.
5. E. Launch five new EC2 instances into a partition placement grou
6. F. Ensure that the EC2 instance type supports enhanced networking.
7. G. Launch five new EC2 instances into a spread placement grou
8. H. Attach an extra elastic network interface to each EC2 instance.

Correct Answer: A
When you launch EC2 instances in a cluster they benefit from performance and low latency. No redundancy though as per the question https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/placement-groups.html.

A company that is developing a mobile game is making game assets available in two AWS Regions. Game assets ate served from a set of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in each Region. The company requires game assets to be (etched from the closest Region. If game assets become unavailable in the closest Region, they should be fetched from the other Region.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

1. A. Create an Amazon CloudFront distributio
2. B. Create an origin group with one origin for each AL
3. C. Set one of the origins as primary.
4. D. Create an Amazon Route 53 health check for each AL
5. E. Create a Route 53 failover routing record pointing to the two ALB
6. F. Set the Evaluate Target Health value to Yes.
7. G. Create two Amazon CloudFront distributions, each with one ALB as the origi
8. H. Create an Amazon Route 53 failover routing record pointing to the two CloudFront distribution
9. I. Set the Evaluate Target Health value to Yes.
10. J. Create an Amazon Route 53 health check for each AL
11. K. Create a Route 53 latency alias record pointing to the two ALB
12. L. Set the Evaluate Target Health value to Yes.

Correct Answer: D
Failover routing policy – Use when you want to configure active-passive failover. Latency routing policy – Use when you have resources in multiple AWS Regions and you want to route traffic to the region that provides the best latency. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-policy.html

A company has implemented an ordering system using an event-dnven architecture. Dunng initial testing, the system stopped processing orders Further tog analysis revealed that one order message in an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SOS) standard queue was causing an error on the backend and blocking all subsequent order messages The visibility timeout of the queue is set to 30 seconds, and the backend processing timeout is set to 10 seconds. A solutions architect needs to analyze faulty order messages and ensure that the system continues to process subsequent messages
Which step should the solutions architect take to meet these requirements?

1. A. Increase the backend processing timeout to 30 seconds to match the visibility timeout
2. B. Reduce the visibility timeout of the queue to automatically remove the faulty message
3. C. Configure a new SOS FIFO queue as a dead-letter queue to isolate the faulty messages
4. D. Configure a new SOS standard queue as a dead-letter queue to isolate the faulty messages.

Correct Answer: D

A company is migrating its infrastructure to the AW5 Cloud. The company must comply with a variety of regulatory standards for different projects. The company needs a multi-account environment.
A solutions architect needs to prepare the baseline infrastructure The solution must provide a consistent baseline of management and security but it must allow flexibility for different compliance requirements within various AWS accounts. The solution also needs to integrate with the existing on-premises Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) server.
Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?

1. A. Create an organization In AWS Organizations Create a single SCP for least privilege access across all accounts Create a single OU for all accounts Configure an IAM identity provider tor federation with the on-premises AD FS server Configure a central togging account with a defined process for log generating services to send log events to the central accoun
2. B. Enable AWS Config in the central account with conformance packs for all accounts.
3. C. Create an organization In AWS Organizations Enable AWS Control Tower on the organizatio
4. D. Review included guardrails for SCP
5. E. Check AWS Config for areas that require additions Add OUs as necessary Connect AWS Single Sign-On to the on-premises AD FS server
6. F. Create an organization in AWS Organizations Create SCPs for least privilege access Create an OU structure, and use it to group AWS accounts Connect AWS Single Sign-On to the on-premises AD FS serve
7. G. Configure a central logging account with a defined process for tog generating services to send log events to the central account Enable AWS Config in the central account with aggregators and conformance packs.
8. H. Create an organization in AWS Organizations Enable AWS Control Tower on the organization Review included guardrails for SCP
9. I. Check AWS Config for areas that require additions Configure an IAM identity provider for federation with the on-premises AD FS server.
