PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH 100%
SMART ANSWERS
Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to meet these
requirements? (Choose two.) - CORRECT-ANSWERSEnable versioning on the
S3 bucket. Enable MFA Delete on the S3 bucket.
To prevent or mitigate future accidental deletions, consider the following
features: Enable versioning to keep historical versions of an object. Enable
Cross-Region Replication of objects. Enable MFA delete to require multi-
factor authentication (MFA) when deleting an object version.
A company has a data ingestion workflow that consists of the following:• An
Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic for notifications
about new data deliveries• An AWS Lambda function to process the data and
record metadataThe company observes that the ingestion workflow fails
occasionally because of network connectivity issues. When such a failure
occurs, the Lambda function does not ingest the corresponding data unless
the company manually reruns the job.
Which combination of actions should a solutions architect take to ensure that
the Lambda function ingests all data in the future? (Choose two.) - CORRECT-
ANSWERSCreate an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue,
and subscribe it to the SNS topic.
Modify the Lambda function to read from an Amazon Simple Queue Service
(Amazon SQS) queue.
Key: network connectivity issues
A company has an application that provides marketing services to stores.
The services are based on previous purchases by store customers. The
stores upload transaction data to the company through SFTP, and the data is
processed and analyzed to generate new marketing offers. Some of the files
can exceed 200 GB in size.Recently, the company discovered that some of
,the stores have uploaded files that contain personally identifiable
information (PII) that should not have been included. The company wants
administrators to be alerted if PII is shared again. The company also wants to
automate remediation.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements with the
LEAST development effort? - CORRECT-ANSWERSImplement custom
scanning algorithms in an AWS Lambda function. Trigger the function when
objects are loaded into the bucket. If objects contain PII, use Amazon Simple
Email Service (Amazon SES) to trigger a notification to the administrators
and trigger an S3 Lifecycle policy to remove the meats that contain PII.

A company needs guaranteed Amazon EC2 capacity in three specific
Availability Zones in a specific AWS Region for an upcoming event that will
last 1 week.What should the company do to guarantee the EC2 capacity? -
CORRECT-ANSWERSCreate an On-Demand Capacity Reservation that
specifies the Region and three Availability Zones needed. An On-Demand
Capacity Reservation is a type of Amazon EC2 reservation that enables you
to create and manage reserved capacity on Amazon EC2. With an On-
Demand Capacity Reservation, you can specify the Region and Availability
Zones where you want to reserve capacity, and the number of EC2 instances
you want to reserve. This allows you to guarantee capacity in specific
Availability Zones in a specific Region.
A company's website uses an Amazon EC2 instance store for its catalog of
items. The company wants to make sure that the catalog is highly available
and that the catalog is stored in a durable location.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements? -
CORRECT-ANSWERSMove the catalog to an Amazon Elastic File System
(Amazon EFS) file system.
keyword is "durable" location
EFS- Securely and reliably access your files with a fully managed file system
designed for 99.999999999 percent (11 9s) durability and up to 99.99
percent (4 9s) of availability
, A company stores call transcript files on a monthly basis. Users access the
files randomly within 1 year of the call, but users access the files infrequently
after 1 year. The company wants to optimize its solution by giving users the
ability to query and retrieve files that are less than 1-year-old as quickly as
possible. A delay in retrieving older files is acceptable.Which solution will
meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively? - CORRECT-ANSWERSStore
individual files in Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering. Use S3 Lifecycle policies to
move the files to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 1 year. Query and
retrieve the files that are in Amazon S3 by using Amazon Athena. Query and
retrieve the files that are in S3 Glacier by using S3 Glacier Select.
This seems to be the most balanced option. S3 Intelligent-Tiering
automatically moves files between tiers based on usage patterns, saving
costs. After a year, files are moved to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, which is
cheaper for infrequently accessed data. Amazon Athena and S3 Glacier
Select can be used for efficient querying. This option seems to align well with
the company's usage pattern and requirements for cost-effectiveness and
access speed.
A company has a production workload that runs on 1,000 Amazon EC2 Linux
instances. The workload is powered by third-party software. The company
needs to patch the third-party software on all EC2 instances as quickly as
possible to remediate a critical security vulnerability.What should a solutions
architect do to meet these requirements? - CORRECT-ANSWERSUse AWS
Systems Manager Run Command to run a custom command that applies the
patch to all EC2 instances.
It provides the capability to execute a custom command across a large
number of instances, which is ideal for applying a specific patch quickly.
While Patch Manager is also a strong contender, its suitability depends on
whether it supports the specific third-party software needing the patch. If it
does, then Option B could also be a viable choice. However, for maximum
flexibility and control over the patching process, particularly for third-party
software, the Run Command is likely the best option.
A company has an application that runs on Amazon EC2 instances and uses
an Amazon Aurora database. The EC2 instances connect to the database by
using user names and passwords that are stored locally in a file. The
company wants to minimize the operational overhead of credential
management.What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this goal? -
CORRECT-ANSWERSUse AWS Secrets Manager. Turn on automatic rotation.
