A company needs a backup strategy for its three-tier stateless web application The web application runs on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group with a dynamic scaling policy that is configured to respond to scaling events The database tier runs on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL The web application does not require temporary local storage on the EC2 instances The company's recovery point objective (RPO) is 2 hours
The backup strategy must maximize scalability and optimize resource utilization for this environment Which solution will meet these requirements?

1. A. Take snapshots of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes of the EC2 instances and database every 2 hours to meet the RPO
2. B. Configure a snapshot lifecycle policy to take Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots Enable automated backups in Amazon RDS to meet the RPO
3. C. Retain the latest Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) of the web and application tiers Enable automated backups in Amazon RDS and use point-in-time recovery to meet the RPO
4. D. Take snapshots of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes of the EC2 instances every 2 hours Enable automated backups in Amazon RDS and use point-in-time recovery to meet the RPO

Correct Answer: D

An application runs on Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones The instances run in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer The application performs best when the CPU utilization of the EC2 instances is at or near 40%.
What should a solutions architect do to maintain the desired performance across all instances in the group?

1. A. Use a simple scaling policy to dynamically scale the Auto Scaling group
2. B. Use a target tracking policy to dynamically scale the Auto Scaling group
3. C. Use an AWS Lambda function to update the desired Auto Scaling group capacity.
4. D. Use scheduled scaling actions to scale up and scale down the Auto Scaling group

A rapidly growing ecommerce company is running its workloads in a single AWS Region. A solutions architect must create a disaster recovery (DR) strategy that includes a different AWS Region The company wants its database to be up to date in the DR Region with the least possible latency The remaining infrastructure in the DR Region needs to run at reduced capacity and must be able to scale up it necessary
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LOWEST recovery time objective (RTO)?

1. A. Use an Amazon Aurora global database with a pilot light deployment
2. B. Use an Amazon Aurora global database with a warm standby deployment
3. C. Use an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB instance with a pilot light deployment
4. D. Use an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB instance with a warm standby deployment

A company will deployed a web application on AWS. The company hosts the backend database on Amazon RDS for MySQL with a primary DB instance and five read replicas to support scaling needs. The read replicas must log no more than 1 second bahind the primary DB Instance. The database routinely runs scheduled stored procedures.
As traffic on the website increases, the replicas experinces addtional lag during periods of peak lead. A solutions architect must reduce the replication lag as much as possible. The solutions architect must minimize changes to the applicatin code and must minimize ongoing overhead.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
Migrate the database to Amazon Aurora MySQL. Replace the read replicas with Aurora Replicas, and configure Aurora Auto Scaling. Replace the stored procedures with Aurora MySQL native functions.
Deploy an Amazon ElasticCache for Redis cluser in front of the database. Modify the application to check the cache before the application queries the database. Repace the stored procedures with AWS Lambda funcions.

1. A. Migrate the database to a MYSQL database that runs on Amazn EC2 instance
2. B. Choose large, compute optimized for all replica node
3. C. Maintain the stored procedures on the EC2 instances.
4. D. Deploy an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster in fornt of the databas
5. E. Modify the application to check the cache before the application queries the databas
6. F. Replace the stored procedures with AWS Lambda functions.
7. G. Migrate the database to a MySQL database that runs on Amazon EC2 instance
8. H. Choose large, compute optimized EC2 instances for all replica nodes, Maintain the stored procedures on the EC2 instances.
9. I. Migrate the database to Amazon DynamoDB, Provision number of read capacity units (RCUs) to support the required throughput, and configure on-demand capacity scalin
10. J. Replace the stored procedures with DynamoDB streams.

Correct Answer: A

2. B. Turn on AWS Trusted Advisor with the appropriate checks.
3. C. Turn on Amazon Inspector with the appropriate assessment template.
4. D. Turn on Amazon S3 server access loggin
5. E. Configure Amazon EventBridge (Amazon Cloud Watch Events).

Correct Answer: D
