A startup is deploying a web-based platform with two virtual networks: one for their frontend web servers and one for their backend database. They want to enable private, low-latency communication between these two virtual networks without routing traffic through the public internet. At the same time, they need to restrict database access so that only the frontend web servers can communicate with the database instances on port 3306, while automatically allowing returning traffic. Which two AWS network or security features should the company implement to meet these requirements? (Select two.)

A software development firm runs integration tests on Amazon EC2 instances. These tests are triggered automatically throughout the day whenever developers commit code. Each test run takes between 15 to 45 minutes to complete. The testing environment must start immediately upon trigger and cannot tolerate any interruptions during execution. Which Amazon EC2 pricing model is the most cost-effective for this workload?
A government agency is migrating its national census processing system to AWS. The agency is legally mandated to ensure that all census database records remain strictly within the country's geographic boundaries. Additionally, the system architecture must be designed to withstand the complete failure of an entire physical data center facility without any service interruption.
Which of the following deployment strategies best satisfies these requirements?
An international e-learning platform is optimizing its deployment on AWS. The platform has two key requirements: first, it must store user profile data in a database designed to withstand the complete failure of an entire data center facility without data loss; second, it must minimize latency for students downloading course syllabus PDF documents from different continents. Which of the following AWS infrastructure solutions should the company utilize to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

A healthcare provider is deploying a telemedicine application on AWS. The application must be designed for high availability and fault tolerance, ensuring that if a physical data center experiences a power outage, the application continues to run without downtime. The system must also support synchronous database replication within the same geographical territory.
Which AWS Global Infrastructure component should the company use to distribute their application instances to meet these requirements?
A cloud administrator is configuring network security for Amazon EC2 instances. The administrator needs to ensure that when inbound web traffic is allowed on port 443, the corresponding outbound response traffic is automatically permitted to return to the client without requiring an explicit outbound rule. Which AWS security feature should the administrator use to achieve this stateful behavior?
An online education platform wants to automatically scan uploaded student profile pictures to identify and flag inappropriate or unsafe content before the images are published. The platform wants to use a pre-trained, fully managed AWS service to achieve this without building custom machine learning models. Which AWS service should the platform use for this capability?
An online educational institute wants to expand its reach by making its English-recorded lecture videos accessible to global students. The institute requires a solution that can automatically convert the audio from the lectures into text transcripts and then translate those English text transcripts into Spanish and French. Which two AWS services should the institute use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)

A retail corporation is expanding its AWS infrastructure and now manages twenty Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) across multiple departments. To optimize operations, the network engineering team wants to implement a centralized network hub to route traffic between all VPCs and their on-premises data center without establishing complex point-to-point connections. At the same time, the security team requires the ability to block traffic from specific external IP addresses at the boundary of each subnet.
Which two AWS features or services should the corporation implement to satisfy both the routing and security requirements? (Select TWO.)

An entertainment company wants to run a real-time video processing application that requires single-digit millisecond latency for users in a metropolitan area where AWS does not have a full Region. The company wants to deploy compute and storage resources close to these users without owning or operating any physical on-premises infrastructure. Which AWS global infrastructure component should the company use to meet these requirements?
A healthcare provider is migrating its patient record system to AWS. To comply with national regulations, all patient data must remain physically within a specific country's borders. Additionally, the application must be designed to remain fully operational even if an entire data center facility experiences a physical power outage. Which of the following AWS Global Infrastructure configurations best meets both the data residency and high availability requirements?
A biotechnology startup runs genomic sequencing batch jobs that take 4 to 6 hours to complete. The sequencing application is designed to automatically checkpoint its progress every 15 minutes, allowing any interrupted job to resume from the last saved state without data loss. The startup needs to run these jobs at the lowest possible cost. Which Amazon EC2 pricing model is the most cost-effective choice for this workload?
A real estate agency wants to add an interactive virtual assistant to its property portal. The assistant must understand natural language text inputs from users to answer FAQs about property listings and help users book appointments for property viewings. Which AWS service should the agency use to build this conversational chatbot?
An organization is designing a security strategy for its Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) to defend against network-level attacks. The security team requires a stateless traffic filtering mechanism that can evaluate rules at the boundary of a subnet. Which Amazon VPC feature should the security team implement to satisfy this requirement?
An educational technology company is planning to deploy two distinct workloads on Amazon EC2:
1. A production student portal application that must run continuously and exhibits stable, predictable usage throughout the school year.
2. A machine learning model training job that runs periodically, can be safely paused and resumed, and needs the absolute lowest cost compute options.
Which two Amazon EC2 pricing models should the company select to run these workloads in the most cost-effective manner?
