Question

Difficulty: EasyIdentify design principles of the AWS Cloud

A retail startup is migrating its customer database and file sharing system to AWS. The company wants to minimize the administrative effort required to maintain infrastructure, and ensure that virtual servers can be easily replaced and automated if they become unhealthy. Which TWO AWS Cloud design principles support these goals? (Select TWO).

  1. Utilize managed services instead of managing physical or virtual servers to reduce maintenance overheadAnswer
  2. Treat computing resources as temporary and disposable by automating their deployment and replacementAnswer
  3. C
    Deploy all software components onto a single large server to minimize communication latency between services
  4. D
    Manually configure virtual servers to ensure configurations are unique and customized for each environment
  5. E
    Maintain permanent, over-provisioned infrastructure to eliminate the need for scaling

Answer

Utilizing managed services instead of managing physical or virtual servers, and treating computing resources as temporary and disposable by automating their deployment and replacement.
The correct options are to utilize managed services instead of managing physical or virtual servers, and to treat computing resources as temporary and disposable by automating their deployment and replacement. Using managed services reduces the administrative burden of running virtual servers (supporting the 'services, not servers' principle). Treating resources as disposable ensures that unhealthy systems can be replaced instantly through automation rather than manual troubleshooting.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirements from the scenario: reducing administration overhead and ensuring easy, automated replacement of unhealthy servers.
Identified the need for managed services to minimize administration and automated, disposable resources to handle unhealthy servers.
This helps map the business requirements to specific AWS Cloud design principles.
2
Evaluate the design principles of the AWS Cloud to see which ones match these requirements.
The principle 'services, not servers' supports reducing server management, and the principle 'disposable resources' supports using automation to replace servers.
This identifies the correct architectural choices.

Key Concept

AWS Cloud design principles focus on automation, managed services, and treating servers as disposable rather than permanent fixtures.
