A company uses an AWS CodeCommit repository The company must store a backup copy of the data that is in the repository in a second AWS Region
Which solution will meet these requirements?

1. A. Configure AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery to replicate the CodeCommit repository data to the second Region
2. B. Use AWS Backup to back up the CodeCommit repository on an hourly schedule Create a cross-Region copy in the second Region
3. C. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke AWS CodeBuild when the company pushes code to the repository Use CodeBuild to clone the repository Create a zip file of the content Copy the file to an S3 bucket in the second Region
4. D. Create an AWS Step Functions workflow on an hourly schedule to take a snapshot of the CodeCommit repository Configure the workflow to copy the snapshot to an S3 bucket in the second Region

Correct Answer: B
AWS Backup is a fully managed service that makes it easy to centralize and automate the creation, retention, and restoration of backups across AWS services. It provides a way to schedule automatic backups for CodeCommit repositories on an hourly basis. Additionally, it also supports cross-Region replication, which allows you to copy the backups to a second Region for disaster recovery.
By using AWS Backup, the company can set up an automatic and regular backup schedule for the CodeCommit repository, ensuring that the data is regularly backed up and stored in a second Region. This can provide a way to recover quickly from any disaster event that might occur.

A company has an on-premises monitoring solution using a PostgreSQL database for persistence of events. The database is unable to scale due to heavy ingestion and it frequently runs out of storage.
The company wants to create a hybrid solution and has already set up a VPN connection between its network and AWS. The solution should include the following attributes:
• Managed AWS services to minimize operational complexity
• A buffer that automatically scales to match the throughput of data and requires no on-going administration.
• A visualization toot to create dashboards to observe events in near-real time.
• Support for semi -structured JSON data and dynamic schemas.
Which combination of components will enabled© company to create a monitoring solution that will satisfy these requirements'' (Select TWO.)

1. A. Use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to buffer events Create an AWS Lambda function 10 process and transform events
2. B. Create an Amazon Kinesis data stream to buffer events Create an AWS Lambda function to process and transform evens
3. C. Configure an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster to receive events Use Amazon Quick Sight to read from the database and create near-real-time visualizations and dashboards
4. D. Configure Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) to receive events Use the Kibana endpoint deployed with Amazon ES to create near-real-time visualizations and dashboards.
5. E. Configure an Amazon Neptune 0 DB instance to receive events Use Amazon QuickSight to read from the database and create near-real-time visualizations and dashboards

A company is planning to migrate its on-premises transaction-processing application to AWS. The application runs inside Docker containers that are hosted on VMS in the company's data center. The Docker containers have shared storage where the application records transaction data.
The transactions are time sensitive. The volume of transactions inside the application is unpredictable. The company must implement a low-latency storage solution that will automatically scale throughput to meet increased demand. The company cannot develop the application further and cannot continue to administer the Docker hosting environment.
How should the company migrate the application to AWS to meet these requirements?

1. A. Migrate the containers that run the application to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS).Use Amazon S3 to store the transaction data that the containers share.
2. B. Migrate the containers that run the application to AWS Fargate for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file syste
3. C. Create a Fargate task definitio
4. D. Add a volume to the task definition to point to the EFS file system
5. E. Migrate the containers that run the application to AWS Fargate for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). Create an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volum
6. F. Create a Fargate task definitio
7. G. Attach the EBS volume to each running task.
8. H. Launch Amazon EC2 instance
9. I. Install Docker on the EC2 instance
10. J. Migrate the containers to the EC2 instance
11. K. Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file syste
12. L. Add a mount point to the EC2 instances for the EFS file system.

Correct Answer: B
Migrating the containers that run the application to AWS Fargate for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) will meet the requirement of not administering the Docker hosting environment. AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that runs containers without requiring any infrastructure management3.
Creating an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system and adding a volume to the Fargate task definition to point to the EFS file system will meet the requirement of low-latency storage that will automatically scale throughput to meet increased demand. Amazon EFS is a fully managed file system service that provides shared access to data from multiple containers, supports NFSv4 protocol, and offers consistent performance and high availability4. Amazon EFS also supports automatic scaling of throughput based on the amount of data stored in the file system5.

A company is running an application in the AWS Cloud. The application collects and stores a large amount of unstructured data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The S3 bucket contains several terabytes of data and uses the S3 Standard storage class. The data increases in size by several gigabytes every day.
The company needs to query and analyze the data. The company does not access data that is more than 1 year old. However, the company must retain all the data indefinitely for compliance reasons.
Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

1. A. Use S3 Select to query the dat
2. B. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition data that is more than 1 year old to S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
3. C. Use Amazon Redshift Spectrum to query the dat
4. D. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition data that is more than 1 year old to S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
5. E. Use an AWS Glue Data Catalog and Amazon Athena to query the dat
6. F. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition data that is more than 1 year old to S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
7. G. Use Amazon Redshift Spectrum to query the dat
8. H. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition data that is more than 1 year old to S3 Intelligent-Tiering.

Correct Answer: C
Generally, unstructured data should be converted structured data before querying them. AWS Glue can do that. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/schema-relationalize.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/glue-athena.html

A retail company is hosting an ecommerce website on AWS across multiple AWS Regions. The company wants the website to be operational at all times for online purchases. The website stores data in an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance.
Which solution will provide the HIGHEST availability for the database?

1. A. Configure automated backups on Amazon RD
2. B. In the case of disruption, promote an automated backup to be a standalone DB instanc
3. C. Direct database traffic to the promoted DB instanc
4. D. Create a replacement read replica that has the promoted DB instance as its source.
5. E. Configure global tables and read replicas on Amazon RD
6. F. Activate the cross-Region scop
7. G. In the case of disruption, use AWS Lambda to copy the read replicas from one Region to another Region.
8. H. Configure global tables and automated backups on Amazon RD
9. I. In the case of disruption, use AWS Lambda to copy the read replicas from one Region to another Region.
10. J. Configure read replicas on Amazon RD
11. K. In the case of disruption, promote a cross-Region and read replica to be a standalone DB instanc
12. L. Direct database traffic to the promoted DB instanc
13. M. Create areplacement read replica that has the promoted DB instance as its source.

Correct Answer: D
This solution will provide the highest availability for the database, as the read replicas will allow the database to be available in multiple Regions, thus reducing the chances of disruption. Additionally, the promotion of the cross-Region read replica to become a standalone DB instance will ensure that the database is still available even if one of the Regions experiences disruptions.
