A company has a data lake in Amazon S3 that needs to be accessed by hundreds of applications across many AWS accounts. The company's information security policy states that the S3 bucket must not be accessed over the public internet and that each application should have the minimum permissions necessary to function.
To meet these requirements, a solutions architect plans to use an S3 access point that is restricted to specific VPCs for each application.
Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to implement this solution? (Select TWO.)
Question:
A company is migrating a containerized Kubernetes app with manifest files to AWS. What is the easiest migration path?
An application is using an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance in the us-east-1 Region. After a failover test, the application lost the connections to the database and could not re-establish the connections. After a restart of the application, the application re-established the connections.
A solutions architect must implement a solution so that the application can re-establish connections to the database without requiring a restart.

As part of its disaster recovery plan, the company wants the ability to host its application on AWS temporarily if the company's on-premises environment becomes unavailable The company wants the application to return to on-premises hosting after a disaster recovery event is complete The RPO is 5 minutes.
Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
A flood monitoring agency has deployed more than 10.000 water-level monitoring sensors. Sensors send continuous data updates, and each update is less than 1 MB in size. The agency has a fleet of on-premises application servers. These servers receive upda.es 'on the sensors, convert the raw data into a human readable format, and write the results loan on-premises relational database server. Data analysts then use simple SOL queries to monitor the data.
The agency wants to increase overall application availability and reduce the effort that is required to perform maintenance tasks These maintenance tasks, which include updates and patches to the application servers, cause downtime. While an application server is down, data is lost from sensors because the remaining servers cannot handle the entire workload.
The agency wants a solution that optimizes operational overhead and costs. A solutions architect recommends the use of AWS loT Core to collect the sensor data.

A company is running a two-tier web-based application in an on-premises data center. The application layer consists of a single server running a stateful application. The application connects to a PostgreSQL database running on a separate server. The application’s user base is expected to grow significantly, so the company is migrating the application and database to AWS. The solution will use Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing.

A solutions architect is auditing the security setup of an AWS Lambda function for a company. The Lambda function retrieves the latest changes from an Amazon Aurora database. The Lambda function and the database run in the same VPC. Lambda environment variables are providing the database credentials to the Lambda function.
The Lambda function aggregates data and makes the data available in an Amazon S3 bucket that is configured for server-side encryption with AWS KMS managed encryption keys (SSE-KMS). The data must not travel across the internet. If any database credentials become compromised, the company needs a solution that minimizes the impact of the compromise.

A company needs to gather data from an experiment in a remote location that does not have internet connectivity. During the experiment, sensors that are connected to a total network will generate 6 TB of data in a preprimary formal over the course of 1 week. The sensors can be configured to upload their data files to an FTP server periodically, but the sensors do not have their own FTP server. The sensors also do not support other protocols. The company needs to collect the data centrally and move lie data to object storage in the AWS Cloud as soon. as possible after the experiment.

A company wants to run a custom network analysis software package to inspect traffic as traffic leaves and enters a VPC. The company has deployed the solution by using AWS Cloud Formation on three Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. All network routing has been established to direct traffic to the EC2 instances.
Whenever the analysis software stops working, the Auto Scaling group replaces an instance. The network routes are not updated when the instance replacement occurs.
Which combination of steps will resolve this issue? {Select THREE.)
A company has a critical application in which the data tier is deployed in a single AWS Region. The data tier uses an Amazon DynamoDB table and an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster. The current Aurora MySQL engine version supports a global database. The application tier is already deployed in two Regions.
Company policy states that critical applications must have application tier components and data tier components deployed across two Regions. The RTO and RPO must be no more than a few minutes each. A solutions architect must recommend a solution to make the data tier compliant with company policy.

A company wants to use AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On) to manage employee access to AWS services. The company uses AWS Organizations to manage its AWS accounts.
Each employee has their own IAM user. Each IAM user is a member of at least one IAM group. Each IAM group has an attached policy that allows members to assume
specific roles across the accounts. The roles contain appropriate policies for the expected activities of each group of users in each account. All relevant accounts exist inside a single OU.
The company has already created new users and groups in IAM Identity Center to match the permissions that exist in IAM.
How should the company use IAM Identity Center to implement the existing permissions?
