A company has developed a mobile game. The backend for the game runs on several virtual machines located in an on-premises data center. The business logic is exposed using a REST API with multiple functions. Player session data is stored in central file storage. Backend services use different API keys for throttling and to distinguish between live and test traffic.
The load on the game backend varies throughout the day. During peak hours, the server capacity is not sufficient. There are also latency issues when fetching player session data. Management has asked a solutions architect to present a cloud architecture that can handle the game's varying load and provide low-latency data access. The API model should not be changed.
Which solution meets these requirements?
A company that develops consumer electronics with offices in Europe and Asia has 60 TB of software images stored on premises in Europe The company wants to transfer the images to an Amazon S3 bucket in the ap-northeast-1 Region New software images are created daily and must be encrypted in transit The company needs a solution that does not require custom development toautomatically transfer all existing and new software images to Amazon S3
What is the next step in the transfer process?
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.
Which solution will provide a consistent user experience that will allow the application and database tiers to scale?
A company recently deployed an application on AWS. The application uses Amazon DynamoDB.The company measured the application load and configured the RCUs and WCUs on the DynamoDB table to match the expected peak load. The peak load occurs once a week for a 4-hour period and is double the average load. The application load is close to the average load tor the rest of the week. The access pattern includes many more writes to the table than reads of the table.
A solutions architect needs to implement a solution to minimize the cost of the table.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
An education company is running a web application used by college students around the world. The application runs in an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). A system administrator detected a weekly spike in the number of failed logic attempts. Which overwhelm the application’s authentication service. All the failed login attempts originate from about 500 different IP addresses that change each week. A solutions architect must prevent the failed login attempts from overwhelming the authentication service.
Which solution meets these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?
A company uses AWS Cloud Formation to deploy its infrastructure. The company is concerned that data stored in Amazon RDS databases or Amazon EBS volumes might be deleted if a production Cloud Formation stack is deleted.
How can the company prevent users from accidentally deleting data in this way?
A weather service provides high-resolution weather maps from a web application hosted on AWS in the eu-west-1 Region. The weather maps are updated frequently and stored in Amazon S3 along with static HTML content. The web application is fronted by Amazon CloudFront.
The company recently expanded to serve users in the us-east-1 Region, and these new users report that viewing their respective weather maps is slow from time to time.
Which combination of steps will resolve the us-east-1 performance issues? (Choose two.)
A company hosts its primary API on AWS using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda functions. Internal applications and external customers use this API. Some customers also use a legacy API hosted on a standalone EC2 instance.
The company wants to increase security across all APIs to prevent denial of service (DoS) attacks, check for vulnerabilities, and guard against common exploits.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
