An e-commerce company stores transaction files in an Amazon S3 bucket using two prefixes: `invoices/` and `checkout_logs/`.

* Invoices (`invoices/`): PDF invoices with an average size of $2.5\text{ MB}$ . They are frequently accessed during the first $30$ days, occasionally accessed between days $30$ and $90$ , and must be retained for $7$ years for tax compliance.
* Checkout Logs (`checkout_logs/`): Text files with an average size of $15\text{ KB}$ . They are used for troubleshooting failed checkouts, frequently accessed during the first $10$ days, and are no longer needed after $25$ days.

Which combination of lifecycle rules meets these requirements most cost-effectively?

For the `invoices/` prefix, transition objects to S3 Standard-IA after

30

days, and transition them to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after

90

days. For the `checkout_logs/` prefix, expire objects after

25

days.

Cevap: For the `invoices/` prefix, transition objects to S3 Standard-IA after $30$ days, and transition them to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after $90$ days. For the `checkout_logs/` prefix, expire objects after $25$ days.

Cevap

Configure a lifecycle policy that transitions Customer Invoice PDFs (`invoices/`) to S3 Standard-IA after

30

days and to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after

90

days, while expiring Temporary Checkout Session Logs (`checkout_logs/`) after

25

days without transitioning them.

The correct option is to transition the larger invoices (

2.5\text{ MB}

) to S3 Standard-IA after

30

days and to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after

90

days, while simply expiring the checkout logs (

15\text{ KB}

) after

25

days. This is cost-effective because the invoices exceed the

128\text{ KB}

minimum size requirement for infrequent and archive tiers and are kept long-term. Meanwhile, the checkout logs are too small and are deleted before the

30

-day minimum storage duration of S3 Standard-IA, meaning transition would result in minimum storage and capacity charge penalties.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the access pattern and size of the invoice PDFs.

The PDFs are

2.5\text{ MB}

(greater than the

128\text{ KB}

S3 Standard-IA minimum capacity limit) and are only occasionally accessed after

30

days and rarely after

90

days. They must be kept for

7

years.

This justifies transitioning them to S3 Standard-IA after

30

days and to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after

90

days to minimize storage costs over the

7

-year retention period.

Analyze the access pattern, size, and lifespan of the checkout logs.

The logs are

15\text{ KB}

(well below the

128\text{ KB}

S3 Standard-IA minimum capacity limit) and must be deleted after

25

days.

Transitioning these logs to S3 Standard-IA or any archive tier is inefficient because they do not meet the minimum object size (

128\text{ KB}

) and will trigger a minimum storage duration penalty (

30

days for S3 Standard-IA) since they are deleted before that period.

Select the lifecycle policy that optimizes costs for both data sets.

Invoice PDFs are transitioned through Standard-IA to Glacier Deep Archive, while checkout logs are kept in S3 Standard and deleted at

25

days.

This avoids unnecessary storage penalties and capacity surcharges for the small, short-lived logs, while maximizing cost savings for the large, long-lived invoice files.

Anahtar Kavram

S3 Lifecycle policies must account for object size minimums (such as

128\text{ KB}

for S3 Standard-IA) and minimum storage durations (such as

30

days for S3 Standard-IA and

180

days for S3 Glacier Deep Archive) to avoid cost penalties.

Cevap

Deploy the compute instances inside a cluster placement group and specify port

8085

as the health check port in the target group configuration for the NLB.

The correct options implement a cluster placement group for low-latency node-to-node MPI communication and configure the NLB health checks on port

where the rendering software is actively listening. Together, these ensure both high performance and correct target health registration.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze inter-node communication requirements.

The workload uses MPI, which is tightly coupled and requires the lowest possible inter-node latency.

This requirement points directly to a cluster placement group.

Select the correct placement group configuration.

A cluster placement group is chosen because it logically groups instances within a single Availability Zone, enabling high-performance networking.

Spread and partition placement groups introduce physical separation, which increases network latency.

Analyze the load balancer health check configuration.

The target group must query the port where the rendering application is actually listening (

A logistics company is designing a new package tracking system on AWS. The application consists of a microservices-based API layer hosted on AWS Fargate that handles consistent, steady-state transaction volume $24/7$ , and a relational database layer running on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL that operates continuously to store tracking history. Additionally, an hourly background job aggregates tracking metrics, running continuously for $50$ minutes of every hour. The company wants to minimize compute costs for this architecture while maintaining high availability and performance. Which TWO purchasing strategies or configurations should a solutions architect recommend? (Select two.)

Cevap: Purchase a Compute Savings Plan to cover the AWS Fargate API layer.; Purchase Amazon RDS Reserved Instances to cover the PostgreSQL database.

Cevap

Purchase a Compute Savings Plan to cover the AWS Fargate API layer, and purchase Amazon RDS Reserved Instances to cover the PostgreSQL database.

Purchasing a Compute Savings Plan is the most cost-effective option for the Fargate API layer because it offers discounts up to

66\%

on EC2, Fargate, and Lambda for a

1

- or

3

-year commitment. Since Compute Savings Plans do not cover Amazon RDS, purchasing RDS Reserved Instances is the correct and separate method to optimize costs for the database layer.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the steady-state API layer hosted on AWS Fargate.

Determine that Compute Savings Plans apply directly to AWS Fargate, providing flexible discounts for steady-state container workloads.

Fargate is a supported compute type under Compute Savings Plans.

Analyze the database layer hosted on Amazon RDS.

Identify that Amazon RDS Reserved Instances are the appropriate vehicle for discounting continuous database workloads, since Compute Savings Plans do not apply to RDS.

Compute Savings Plans are restricted to EC2, Fargate, and Lambda.

Evaluate the

50

-minute hourly background job.

Keep the job on Fargate or EC2 rather than migrating to AWS Lambda.

AWS Lambda's maximum execution duration of

15

minutes prevents it from running a

A logistics company is designing an automated package routing application on AWS. The application receives manifest data from regional hubs, which must be processed sequentially based on arrival time to maintain an accurate package tracking ledger. The ingestion of these manifests is highly sporadic: the system experiences zero traffic for several consecutive hours, but experiences sudden spikes of up to 100 manifests within a few minutes. Each manifest takes between 12 to 14 minutes of CPU-intensive calculations to process, occasionally extending to 18 minutes for exceptionally large hubs. The solutions architect must design a highly available, serverless, and cost-optimized architecture that scales automatically and decouples manifest ingestion from processing. Which two options should the solutions architect select to satisfy these requirements?

Geçerli olan tümünü seçin

Deploy the processing application on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) using AWS Fargate, and configure target tracking scaling based on the SQS queue depth.

Use an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) FIFO queue to buffer incoming manifest data and maintain strict message ordering.

Deploy the processing application on AWS Lambda, configuring the functions to be triggered directly by the upload events.

Use an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) Standard queue to decouple the components, and implement consumer-side logic to re-order the processed manifests.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Deploy the processing application on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) using AWS Fargate, and configure target tracking scaling based on the SQS queue depth.; Use an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) FIFO queue to buffer incoming manifest data and maintain strict message ordering.

Cevap

To design a cost-effective, ordered, and auto-scaling serverless architecture, the solutions architect should use an Amazon SQS FIFO queue to preserve manifest sequence, and deploy the processing workload on Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate, scaling the task count based on the SQS queue depth.

Using an Amazon SQS FIFO queue ensures that manifest data is processed in the exact order of arrival, preserving the integrity of the ledger. Deploying the workload on Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate provides a serverless compute platform that can run tasks indefinitely without the 15-minute timeout constraint of AWS Lambda. By using target tracking scaling based on the SQS queue depth, the application automatically provisions containers to handle traffic spikes and terminates all tasks when no messages remain, minimizing idle costs.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Determine the appropriate messaging queue type to meet the ordering and decoupling requirements.

Select Amazon SQS FIFO queues.

The ledger requires messages to be processed sequentially based on arrival time. Amazon SQS FIFO queues guarantee first-in, first-out delivery and exactly-once processing.

Evaluate the compute options based on the execution duration, compute requirements, and cost-efficiency.

Select Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate instead of AWS Lambda.

The processing tasks run for 12 to 18 minutes. AWS Lambda has a hard timeout limit of 15 minutes, making it unsuitable. AWS Fargate has no such timeout, scales container instances dynamically, and is more cost-efficient for long-running compute-intensive tasks.

Configure the scaling mechanism for the compute layer to minimize idle costs.

Implement target tracking scaling based on queue depth.

By scaling the ECS Fargate tasks based on the number of visible messages in the SQS queue, the system can scale down to zero when the queue is empty, eliminating idle compute costs, and scale up rapidly to handle traffic spikes.

Anahtar Kavram

Serverless container orchestration and ordered message queue decoupling for long-running batch processing workloads.

A smart manufacturing company collects and stores operational data in a single Amazon S3 bucket. The data consists of two categories:

* IoT Sensor Telemetry: Average file size is $8\text{ KB}$ . These files are generated continuously and analyzed in real-time. They are rarely accessed after $10\text{ days}$ but must be retained for a total of $25\text{ days}$ for compliance audits, after which they can be deleted.
* Machinery Firmware Images: Average file size is $20\text{ MB}$ . These files are accessed frequently during the first $30\text{ days}$ after release and rarely thereafter. They must be retained for $365\text{ days}$ for rollback purposes, after which they can be deleted.

Which lifecycle configuration is the most cost-effective to meet these requirements?

For telemetry data, create a lifecycle rule to expire objects after

25\text{ days}

. For firmware images, create a lifecycle rule to transition objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) after

Cevap: For telemetry data, create a lifecycle rule to expire objects after $25\text{ days}$ . For firmware images, create a lifecycle rule to transition objects to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) after $30\text{ days}$ and expire them after $365\text{ days}$ .

Cevap

For telemetry data, configure a lifecycle rule to expire objects after

25\text{ days}

without transitioning them. For firmware images, configure a lifecycle rule to transition them to S3 Standard-IA after

30\text{ days}

and expire them after

365\text{ days}

The correct configuration leaves telemetry files in S3 Standard for the duration of their lifecycle (

25\text{ days}

) and expires them directly. This avoids both the

128\text{ KB}

minimum billing size penalty (since their actual size is

8\text{ KB}

) and the

30\text{-day}

minimum storage duration penalty of S3 Standard-IA. The firmware images are large (

20\text{ MB}

) and reside in S3 Standard-IA for

335\text{ days}

after the initial

30\text{ days}

of frequent access, maximizing storage savings with zero penalties.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the telemetry data properties and constraints.

The telemetry files are very small (

8\text{ KB}

) and are kept for only

25\text{ days}

before deletion.

We must evaluate if transitioning them to S3 Standard-IA is cost-effective. Since the files are less than the

128\text{ KB}

minimum storage size limit of S3 Standard-IA and are kept in that tier for only

15\text{ days}

(violating the

30\text{-day}

minimum storage duration), they should remain in S3 Standard.

Analyze the firmware images properties and constraints.

The firmware files are large (

20\text{ MB}

) and are kept for

365\text{ days}

. They are frequently accessed only during the first

30\text{ days}

of release.

Transitioning them to S3 Standard-IA after

30\text{ days}

is highly cost-effective because the file size exceeds

128\text{ KB}

, and the remaining storage duration (

335\text{ days}

) comfortably exceeds the

30\text{-day}

minimum requirement.

Combine the rules into a single lifecycle configuration.

Prefix-based rules: `telemetry/` expires after

25\text{ days}

; `firmware/` transitions to S3 Standard-IA after

30\text{ days}

and expires after

365\text{ days}

Using prefix-based rules allows separate lifecycle paths for different types of data in the same bucket.

A financial technology organization uses AWS Organizations to manage a multi-account structure. The organization has recently deployed a new transaction processing platform across several member accounts. The platform writes transaction logs to an Amazon S3 bucket, which are processed and then permanently deleted after $3$ days. The platform's compute workloads are highly dynamic and exhibit natural cyclical scaling. The organization has the following requirements:

* Detect sudden, atypical spending spikes across all member accounts within $24$ hours without triggering false positives during regular cyclical scaling events.
* Provide a pro forma billing view to a subsidiary account that reflects a custom $15\%$ discount on all Amazon EC2 usage, without altering the actual consolidated invoice generated at the management account level.
* Send an immediate notification to the operations team if the actual monthly consolidated cost exceeds $110\%$ of the budgeted amount.
* Implement a cost-optimized storage strategy for the transaction logs.

Which combination of actions will meet these requirements in the most cost-effective and operationally efficient manner?

Configure AWS Cost Anomaly Detection with a cost monitor for all services. Create a billing group in AWS Billing Conductor for the subsidiary account, associate a custom pricing plan that applies a

Cevap

Configure AWS Cost Anomaly Detection to monitor services using machine learning. Use AWS Billing Conductor to set up a billing group and custom pricing plan with a

15\%

EC2 discount for the subsidiary account. Use AWS Budgets to alert on actual monthly costs exceeding

110\%

of budgeted amounts. Maintain transaction logs in S3 Standard and delete them after

3

days using S3 Lifecycle policies.

The correct solution correctly separates the concerns of cost alerting, custom pro forma billing, and storage optimization. First, AWS Cost Anomaly Detection is configured because its machine learning model baselines cost patterns and dynamically adapts to cyclical compute scaling, minimizing false positives. Second, AWS Billing Conductor is ideal for generating custom billing data (e.g., a

15\%

discount for the subsidiary) without modifying the consolidated payer account invoice. Third, AWS Budgets handles proactive threshold alerts based on actual monthly costs. Finally, S3 Standard is selected for logs with a

3

-day lifespan because S3 Standard-IA imposes a

30

-day minimum storage duration billing penalty.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Evaluate S3 lifecycle and storage tiers for short-lived transaction logs.

Determine that S3 Standard is the most cost-effective tier and write an S3 Lifecycle policy to delete logs after

3

days.

Transitioning logs to S3 Standard-IA would trigger a

30

Cevap

Configure an AWS Transit Gateway with Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing and establish multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections, and configure Network Access Control Lists (NACLs) at the subnet level to explicitly define rules for both inbound and outbound traffic.

To support

2\text{ Gbps}

of throughput, multiple VPN tunnels are required because a single tunnel caps out at

1.25\text{ Gbps}

. Enabling ECMP on the Transit Gateway allows traffic to be distributed across these multiple tunnels. Additionally, Network ACLs are the correct mechanism for subnet-level stateless traffic filtering because they require explicit rules for both inbound and outbound traffic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the bandwidth requirement.

The continuous data sync requires

2\text{ Gbps}

of throughput.

Since a single VPN tunnel is limited to

1.25\text{ Gbps}

, multiple VPN tunnels must be aggregated using AWS Transit Gateway and ECMP to scale past this limit.

Evaluate the security and filtering requirements.

Identify that subnet-boundary stateless traffic filtering requires Network ACLs.

Security Groups are stateful and operate at the instance level. Network ACLs operate at the subnet boundary and are stateless, requiring both inbound and outbound rules to be defined explicitly.

Address the disaster recovery routing requirement.

Discard using latency routing alone as a failover mechanism.

Route 53 Latency routing only directs traffic based on lowest network latency and does not monitor resource health or execute failovers without health check associations.

Cevap

Run the backend service on AWS Fargate covered by a

1

-year Compute Savings Plan, and use Amazon DynamoDB in on-demand capacity mode for the database.

Running the backend service on AWS Fargate with a Compute Savings Plan provides significant cost savings for steady-state, continuous compute workloads. Utilizing Amazon DynamoDB in on-demand capacity mode is the most cost-effective database choice because it automatically handles sudden, unpredictable traffic spikes without manual intervention or the need to pay for idle provisioned capacity.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the operational requirements of the backend compute layer.

Identify that a containerized backend running

24/7

is best suited for AWS Fargate, and a

1

-year Compute Savings Plan will offer the maximum discount for this steady-state workload.

Compute Savings Plans cover AWS Fargate and provide significant savings over On-Demand rates for continuous use.

Analyze the traffic pattern of the database layer.

Determine that Amazon DynamoDB with on-demand capacity mode is the best fit.

The database experiences sharp, unpredictable spikes. On-demand capacity mode automatically scales to handle these spikes instantly and avoids the costs of idle, provisioned capacity.

Evaluate the scope of the Compute Savings Plan across the selected services.

Confirm that the Compute Savings Plan applies to AWS Fargate but excludes Amazon RDS database instances.

A solutions architect is designing the database layer for a global gaming application. The application requires a relational database in the primary region (`us-east-1`) that can dynamically scale read capacity and achieve cross-region disaster recovery with a recovery point objective (RPO) of less than $1$ second and a recovery time objective (RTO) of less than $1$ minute in `us-west-2`. Additionally, the application has a leaderboard feature backed by Amazon DynamoDB that must store game session events. The events are ingested continuously, and each event payload contains a player ID, game session ID, and a precise UTC timestamp.

Which TWO strategies should the solutions architect implement to meet these performance and availability requirements? (Select TWO.)

Cevap: Deploy Amazon Aurora Global Databases with a primary cluster in `us-east-1` and a secondary cluster in `us-west-2`, utilizing storage-level physical replication.; Design the DynamoDB leaderboard table partition key as a combination of the player ID and game session ID, and use the timestamp as the sort key.

Cevap

Deploy Amazon Aurora Global Databases with storage-level replication, and design the DynamoDB partition key as a combination of player ID and game session ID with timestamp as the sort key.

The correct strategy combines Amazon Aurora Global Databases and an optimal DynamoDB composite key structure. Aurora Global Databases use physical replication at the storage layer to achieve cross-region replica lag of less than

1

second and enable sub-minute recovery via regional promotion. For DynamoDB, combining high-cardinality attributes like player ID and session ID as the partition key ensures that write operations are distributed uniformly across partitions, avoiding write bottlenecks, while placing the timestamp as the sort key allows for efficient chronological queries.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the relational database performance and replication requirements.

Identified the need for cross-region replication with RPO <

1

second and RTO <

1

minute, combined with dynamic read scaling.

Aurora Global Databases provide storage-based, physical replication that delivers sub-second RPO and rapid regional failover, meeting the RTO/RPO targets.

Analyze the DynamoDB write ingestion patterns and data key schema.

Identified that continuously ingested events with sequential timestamps can lead to partition bottlenecks (hot keys).

To prevent write hot spots on a single physical partition, a composite key with high cardinality (player ID + session ID) must be used as the partition key, placing the sequential timestamp as the sort key.

Evaluate and eliminate incorrect database options based on AWS limits and capabilities.

RDS Read Replicas do not support automatic cross-region failover, timestamps as partition keys create write bottlenecks, and static provisioned capacity cannot handle unpredictable spiky traffic.

Eliminating options that introduce performance bottlenecks or fail to meet the RPO/RTO requirements leaves the combination of Aurora Global Databases and proper DynamoDB composite key design as the correct strategies.

A media startup is designing a processing pipeline to transcode high-resolution video uploads. Users upload videos of varying sizes to an Amazon S3 bucket. The transcoding process is compute-intensive, taking between 15 to 30 minutes per video, and the daily upload volume is highly unpredictable with long periods of zero activity. The processing order of the videos is not important. The startup wants a cost-effective, serverless architecture that scales dynamically to meet demand and incurs no compute costs when there are no video uploads. Which two solutions should the solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements in the most cost-effective manner? (Select TWO.)

Cevap: Use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with the AWS Fargate launch type to run the transcoding tasks.; Use Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) standard queues to hold the transcoding jobs, and scale the container tasks based on queue depth.

Cevap

The correct solutions are to use Amazon ECS with the AWS Fargate launch type to run the transcoding tasks, and to use Amazon SQS standard queues to hold the transcoding jobs while scaling the container tasks based on the queue depth.

The correct approach combines Amazon SQS standard queues for decoupling and Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate for serverless container execution. Amazon SQS standard queues are cost-effective and scale automatically to absorb spikes in uploads, while allowing the container tasks to scale down to zero when the queue is empty. AWS Fargate is ideal here because the transcoding process takes 15 to 30 minutes, which exceeds the 15-minute maximum runtime limit of AWS Lambda. Fargate runs containers serverlessly, charging only for the resources consumed during the active transcoding duration and incurring zero cost when idle.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the processing duration and compute requirements.

Identify that the transcoding tasks take 15 to 30 minutes, which exceeds the 15-minute execution limit of AWS Lambda.

Determining the execution duration prevents choosing serverless compute options that will timeout and fail.

Determine the most cost-effective serverless compute service that can run tasks longer than 15 minutes.

Select Amazon ECS with the AWS Fargate launch type.

AWS Fargate runs containers serverlessly, allows tasks to run up to 24 hours, and scales to zero when no tasks are running, ensuring no idle compute costs.

Select the queue type and integration to store jobs and trigger scaling.

Select an Amazon SQS standard queue to buffer jobs and use queue depth to scale ECS Fargate tasks.

SQS standard queues are cheaper than FIFO queues, scale virtually infinitely, and are appropriate since strict message ordering is not required.

Cevap: Configure Interface VPC Endpoints for ECR, and configure a Gateway VPC Endpoint for Amazon S3. Update the route table of the private subnets to route S3 traffic through the Gateway Endpoint.

Cevap

Configure Interface VPC Endpoints for ECR, and configure a Gateway VPC Endpoint for Amazon S3. Update the route table of the private subnets to route S3 traffic through the Gateway Endpoint.

The correct option is to configure Interface VPC Endpoints for ECR and a Gateway VPC Endpoint for Amazon S3. When an ECS Fargate task pulls a container image from Amazon ECR, it authenticates and downloads the image manifest via ECR APIs, and then pulls the actual container layers from Amazon S3. By using ECR Interface Endpoints, the API traffic remains private. By using an S3 Gateway Endpoint, the large image layers are pulled directly from S3 without passing through the NAT Gateway, avoiding the NAT Gateway data processing charge.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the data flow when pulling container images from ECR.

ECR stores the manifest and API metadata on the ECR service, but the actual image layers are stored in Amazon S3.

This helps locate the source of the heavy data transfer that is driving up NAT Gateway processing charges.

Choose the correct endpoint type for ECR API calls.

Establish ECR Interface VPC Endpoints (PrivateLink) for the dkr and api service endpoints.

ECR requires Interface VPC Endpoints for private connectivity within a VPC.

Choose the most cost-effective endpoint type for the S3 image layers.

Create a Gateway VPC Endpoint for Amazon S3 and associate it with the private subnet's route table.

S3 Gateway Endpoints are free and do not charge for data processing, unlike NAT Gateways or Interface Endpoints.

Cevap: Set the Amazon DynamoDB table capacity mode to on-demand, execute the nightly batch job using Amazon ECS tasks running on AWS Fargate Spot, and configure an Amazon S3 Gateway VPC Endpoint in the private subnets.

Cevap

The most cost-effective and scalable solution is to set the Amazon DynamoDB table capacity mode to on-demand, run the nightly batch job using Amazon ECS tasks on AWS Fargate Spot, and configure an Amazon S3 Gateway VPC Endpoint in the private subnets.

The correct option combines Amazon DynamoDB on-demand mode (to dynamically handle spiky clickstream ingestion), AWS Fargate Spot (to cost-effectively host containerized tasks that run for several hours without paying full Fargate prices), and an Amazon S3 Gateway VPC Endpoint (to eliminate NAT Gateway processing fees for the frequent, large S3 transfers).

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze NoSQL database scaling and cost requirements.

Since client clickstream traffic is highly unpredictable and spiky, Amazon DynamoDB in on-demand capacity mode is selected to automatically scale throughput and charge only for actual reads and writes, avoiding expensive over-provisioning.

To ensure maximum cost-efficiency for unpredictable workloads.

Evaluate compute options for the 3-4 hour nightly batch job.

AWS Lambda is ruled out due to its 15-minute timeout and high cost for long-running continuous executions. Amazon ECS tasks running on AWS Fargate Spot are selected as they support long runtimes at a heavily discounted rate.

To select a cost-optimized, containerized compute environment suitable for multi-hour processing.

Evaluate private data transfer to Amazon S3.

Instead of routing high volumes of S3 traffic through a NAT Gateway (which incurs per-GB data processing charges), an S3 Gateway VPC Endpoint is configured.

To enable free, private network routing between the VPC and Amazon S3.

Cevap: AWS Lambda for compute and Amazon DynamoDB configured with on-demand capacity mode.

Cevap

AWS Lambda for compute and Amazon DynamoDB configured with on-demand capacity mode.

AWS Lambda and Amazon DynamoDB on-demand capacity mode are fully serverless offerings. Lambda charges only for the exact milliseconds of execution duration, and DynamoDB on-demand charges per request. When there is no incoming traffic, both services scale to zero active capacity and do not incur any compute or request charges, making them the most cost-effective solution for irregular spikes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the scaling requirements of the compute tier.

AWS Lambda is selected because it runs only in response to requests, scales automatically, and charges nothing when there is no traffic.

To minimize costs for highly irregular traffic, compute resources must scale to zero during idle periods.

Analyze the capacity mode requirements of the database tier.

Amazon DynamoDB with on-demand capacity mode is selected because it charges per request and scales down to zero database request costs when idle.

Provisioned capacity mode charges a constant rate regardless of usage, which is cost-inefficient for unpredictable workloads with long idle periods.

Combine the compute and database services to verify the total cost-efficiency.

The combination of AWS Lambda and DynamoDB on-demand capacity mode ensures both tiers scale to zero cost when traffic is zero.

This achieves the target cost optimization goal with the least operational overhead.

The solution must require minimal operational overhead and provide automatic alerting. Which configuration will meet these requirements?

Deploy AWS WAF at the subnet level to inspect all inbound and outbound traffic for Layer 7 exploits and malicious IP addresses, and trigger alerts using Amazon CloudWatch alarms.

Configure stateless Network ACLs at the subnet level to track stateful outbound connections to command-and-control servers, and use AWS Config to automatically block unauthorized traffic.

Cevap: Enable Amazon GuardDuty to automatically analyze AWS CloudTrail management events, VPC Flow Logs, and DNS logs, and configure an Amazon EventBridge rule to route high-severity findings to an Amazon SNS topic for alerting.

Cevap

The correct solution uses Amazon GuardDuty, which is a managed threat detection service. It continuously analyzes data sources such as VPC Flow Logs, DNS logs, and CloudTrail management events using machine learning, anomaly detection, and integrated threat intelligence to detect malicious behavior (such as command-and-control communications or brute-force attacks) with minimal operational overhead. Integrating GuardDuty with Amazon EventBridge and Amazon SNS allows the security team to receive automatic alerts for high-severity findings.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Enable Amazon GuardDuty in the target AWS account.

Amazon GuardDuty immediately begins consuming and analyzing logs including VPC Flow Logs, CloudTrail management events, and DNS query logs without impacting the performance of running EC2 instances.

This establishes the core detection mechanism that leverages built-in threat intelligence and machine learning to identify indicators of compromise, such as command-and-control communications.

Configure an Amazon EventBridge rule filtered for GuardDuty findings.

EventBridge detects when a new threat finding is generated by GuardDuty and matches it against the specified filter pattern (e.g., severity level is high).

This provides a serverless event-routing mechanism to automate response workflows.

Set the target of the EventBridge rule to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic.

The SNS topic triggers notifications (such as emails or SMS) to the security team upon receiving the matched event from EventBridge.

This completes the automated alerting pipeline with minimal custom code or infrastructure maintenance.

Cevap: Deploy an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster. Configure the application to use a cache-aside strategy to load data into the cache on a read miss, and write data to both the database and the cache on updates.

Cevap

Deploying Amazon ElastiCache in front of the relational database is the standard best practice for accelerating read-heavy database queries. The cache-aside strategy ensures that frequently queried product details are stored in memory, providing sub-millisecond response times. Writing updates to the cache when the database is updated ensures that inventory changes are immediately reflected, satisfying the requirement to serve the most up-to-date data.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the workload characteristics and requirements.

The workload is read-heavy, experiences high latency during spikes, contains repetitive reads of identical data, and requires real-time data consistency.

This helps identify the appropriate caching layer and data synchronization strategy.

Select the correct caching technology.

Amazon ElastiCache for Redis is selected because it is designed for database query caching and supports complex data types and replication.

CloudFront caches static web assets at the edge, whereas ElastiCache caches database query results closer to the application logic.

Determine the cache synchronization strategy.

Implement cache-aside to load data into ElastiCache only when needed, and update the cache when database records are modified.

This keeps the database load low while ensuring data updates are reflected in real-time.

A company hosts a public REST API for real-time weather telemetry data on Amazon ECS behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in the us-east-1 Region. The telemetry data is updated every 5 minutes. To support a global user base, the company needs to minimize latency, protect the ECS backend from traffic spikes, and ensure high availability by automatically routing traffic to a standby ECS deployment in the us-west-2 Region if the primary Region experiences an outage. Which architecture should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Cevap: Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution with an origin group. Set the us-east-1 ALB as the primary origin and the us-west-2 ALB as the failover origin. Configure a cache behavior with a TTL of 5 minutes.

Cevap

The correct configuration uses an Amazon CloudFront origin group with the primary Application Load Balancer as the primary origin and the standby Application Load Balancer as the failover origin. This native CloudFront feature allows for seamless, low-latency failover at the edge on specific HTTP status codes. Setting a 5-minute TTL optimizes performance for global users and shields the backend ECS containers from traffic spikes by caching the telemetry data.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze caching requirements

Since telemetry data updates every 5 minutes, caching it for 5 minutes (300 seconds) at CloudFront edge locations will significantly reduce backend load and improve performance.

This satisfies the constraint of protecting the ECS backend from traffic spikes while serving low-latency data to global users.

Analyze regional resiliency requirements

Identify that CloudFront origin groups allow setting up active-passive failover with primary and standby ALBs across different regions.

This configuration automatically redirects client requests to the secondary origin if the primary origin returns specific HTTP 5xx error codes or connection timeouts, without relying on DNS propagation delays.

Evaluate and eliminate incorrect routing and firewall configurations

Eliminate solutions that rely on DNS-level failover for CloudFront origins (due to DNS caching) or misapply AWS WAF for traffic routing.

These alternatives either fail to provide rapid, reliable failover or use services outside their intended scope.
