Question

Difficulty: EasyMethods of Deploying and Operating in AWS

An online retail store wants to streamline its operations on AWS. The store requires a solution that automatically deploys a web application and manages capacity provisioning, load balancing, and scaling without manual template configuration. Additionally, the development team needs to build a custom application that programmatically uploads transaction logs from their local office to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

Which two AWS offerings should be selected to support these tasks? (Select TWO.)

  1. AWS Elastic BeanstalkAnswer
  2. AWS SDKAnswer
  3. C
    AWS CloudFormation
  4. D
    Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
  5. E
    AWS Management Console accessed via root user credentials

Answer

AWS Elastic Beanstalk and the AWS SDK
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is correct because it is a platform as a service (PaaS) that automatically handles capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and health monitoring for web applications without template management. The AWS SDK is correct because it allows developers to write custom code in standard programming languages to interact programmatically with AWS services like Amazon S3.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the first requirement: deploying a web application with automated capacity, load balancing, scaling, and health monitoring, while avoiding infrastructure template management.
Identify AWS Elastic Beanstalk as the platform as a service (PaaS) solution that handles these tasks automatically, unlike AWS CloudFormation which requires templates.
Elastic Beanstalk abstractly manages the deployment details without template maintenance.
2
Analyze the second requirement: building a custom application that programmatically uploads transaction logs from an on-premises location to Amazon S3.
Identify the AWS SDK as the correct programmatic interface for writing application code to communicate with AWS resources.
The AWS SDK provides API wrappers in standard programming languages for automation.
