A company hosts a ticketing service on a fleet of Linux Amazon EC2 instances that are in an Auto Scaling group. The ticketing service uses a pricing file. The pricing file is stored in an Amazon S3 bucket that has S3 Standard storage. A central pricing solution that is hosted by a third party updates the pricing file.

The pricing file is updated every 1–15 minutes and has several thousand line items. The pricing file is downloaded to each EC2 instance when the instance launches.

The EC2 instances occasionally use outdated pricing information that can result in incorrect charges for customers.

Which solution will resolve this problem MOST cost-effectively?

A.

Create an AWS Lambda function to update an Amazon DynamoDB table with new prices each time the pricing file is updated. Update the ticketing service to use DynamoDB to look up pricing.

B.

Create an AWS Lambda function to update an Amazon EFS file share with the pricing file each time the file is updated. Update the ticketing service to use Amazon EFS to access the pricing file.

C.

Load Mountpoint for Amazon S3 onto the AMI of the EC2 instances. Configure Mountpoint for Amazon S3 to mount the S3 bucket that contains the pricing file. Update the ticketing service to point to the mount point and path to access the S3 object.

D.

Create an Amazon EBS volume. Use EBS Multi-Attach to attach the volume to every EC2 instance. When a new EC2 instance launches, configure the new instance to update the pricing file on the EBS volume. Update the ticketing service to point to the new local source.

A company is running multiple workloads in the AWS Cloud. The company has separate units for software development. The company uses AWS Organizations and federation with SAML to give permissions to developers to manage resources in their AWS accounts. The development units each deploy their production workloads into a common production account.

Recently, an incident occurred in the production account in which members of a development unitterminated an EC2 instance that belonged to a different development unit. A solutions architect must create a solution that prevents a similar incident from happening in the future. The solution also must allow developers the possibility to manage the instances used for their workloads.

D.

Create separate IAM policies for each development unit. For every IAM policy, add an allow action and a StringEquals condition for the DevelopmentUnit resource tag and the development unit name. During SAML federation, use AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to assign the IAM policy and match the development unit name to the assumed IAM role.

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.

A company is using Amazon API Gateway to deploy a private REST API that will provide access to sensitive data. The API must be accessible only from an application that is deployed in a VPC. The company deploys the API successfully. However, the API is not accessible from an Amazon EC2 instance that is deployed in the VPC.

Which solution will provide connectivity between the EC2 instance and the API?

A.

Create an interface VPC endpoint for API Gateway. Attach an endpoint policy that allows apigateway:* actions. Disable private DNS naming for the VPC endpoint. Configure an API resource policy that allows access from the VPC. Use the VPC endpoint's DNS name to access the API.

B.

Create an interface VPC endpoint for API Gateway. Attach an endpoint policy that allows the execute-api:lnvoke action. Enable private DNS naming for the VPC endpoint. Configure an API resource policy that allows access from the VPC endpoint. Use the API endpoint's DNS names to access the API. Most Voted

C.

Create a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and a VPC link. Configure private integration between API Gateway and the NLB. Use the API endpoint's DNS names to access the API.

D.

Create an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and a VPC Link. Configure private integration between API Gateway and the ALB. Use the ALB endpoint's DNS name to access the API.

A solutions architect needs to improve an application that is hosted in the AWS Cloud. The application uses an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB instance that is experiencing overloaded connections. Most of the application's operations insert records into the database. The application currently stores credentials in a text-based configuration file.

The solutions architect needs to implement a solution so that the application can handle the current connection load. The solution must keep the credentials secure and must provide the ability to rotatethe credentials automatically on a regular basis.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A.

Deploy an Amazon RDS Proxy layer in front of the DB instance. Store the connection credentials as a secret in AWS Secrets Manager.

B.

Deploy an Amazon RDS Proxy layer in front of the DB instance. Store the connection credentials in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.

C.

Create an Aurora Replica. Store the connection credentials as a secret in AWS Secrets Manager.

D.

Create an Aurora Replica. Store the connection credentials in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.

A telecommunications company is running an application on AWS. The company has set up an AWS Direct Connect connection between the company's on-premises data center and AWS. The company deployed the application on Amazon EC2 instances in multiple Availability Zones behind an internal Application Load Balancer (ALB). The company's clients connect from the on-premises network by using HTTPS. The TLS terminates in the ALB. The company has multiple target groups and uses path-based routing to forward requests based on the URL path.

The company is planning to deploy an on-premises firewall appliance with an allow list that is based on IP address. A solutions architect must develop a solution to allow traffic flow to AWS from the on-premises network so that the clients can continue to access the application.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A.

Configure the existing ALB to use static IP addresses. Assign IP addresses in multiple Availability Zones to the ALB. Add the ALB IP addresses to the firewall appliance.

B.

Create a Network Load Balancer (NLB). Associate the NLB with one static IP addresses in multiple Availability Zones. Create an ALB-type target group for the NLB and add the existing ALAdd the NLB IP addresses to the firewall appliance. Update the clients to connect to the NLB.

C.

Create a Network Load Balancer (NLB). Associate the LNB with one static IP addresses in multiple Availability Zones. Add the existing target groups to the NLB. Update the clients to connect to the NLB. Delete the ALB Add the NLB IP addresses to the firewall appliance.

D.

Create a Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB). Assign static IP addresses to the GWLB in multiple Availability Zones. Create an ALB-type target group for the GWLB and add the existing ALB. Add the GWLB IP addresses to the firewall appliance. Update the clients to connect to the GWLB.
