A company is reviewing the security configuration of an existing hybrid application. The application runs on physical servers in an on-premises data center and connects to AWS over an AWS Direct Connect connection. Currently, the on-premises servers retrieve database credentials from AWS Secrets Manager and upload backup files to an Amazon S3 bucket. Authentication is handled using long-term IAM user access keys stored locally in configuration files, and all API calls traverse the public internet. A Solutions Architect must strengthen the security posture by implementing passwordless authentication for the servers and ensuring that all network traffic to AWS services remains private and does not traverse the public internet.
Which two actions should the Solutions Architect take to meet these requirements?

An enterprise is strengthening the security posture of an existing data processing platform. The platform runs on Amazon EC2 instances in a private subnet of VPC-A in Account A. The instances must read large, sensitive datasets from an Amazon S3 bucket in Account B. The S3 bucket is encrypted using an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key (CMK) in Account B.
The security architect must enforce the following security requirements:
1. All data transit between VPC-A and the S3 bucket must stay within the AWS network and must not traverse the public internet.
2. The S3 bucket must only accept requests that originate from the specific VPC endpoint created in VPC-A for S3.
3. Access to the S3 bucket and the KMS key must be granted based on the principle of least privilege to the EC2 instances' IAM role in Account A.
Which combination of configurations will meet these security requirements?

A financial institution is designing a new global OLTP platform to process trades across a primary region () and a secondary recovery region (). The architecture must support database writes with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of less than 5 seconds and a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of less than 1 minute. Microsecond-latency read caching is required locally in both regions. Security compliance dictates that all data at rest must be encrypted using customer-managed keys (CMKs) to enable cross-account access for centralized auditing. Additionally, the system must dynamically scale read capacity in the secondary region during sudden traffic spikes without manual intervention. Which two actions should the solutions architect take to meet these database and storage requirements?

An enterprise is planning to migrate its core billing and reporting platform to AWS. The platform consists of three main components:
1. A legacy financial reporting application that runs on an on-premises IBM AIX server. The application is licensed via a CPU-ID node-lock mechanism and is scheduled to be decommissioned in 10 months when a new SaaS-based reporting service is launched.
2. A monolithic billing web application written in Java and running on Apache Tomcat on Windows Server 2016. To minimize operating system licensing costs and administrative overhead, the enterprise wants to run this workload on a managed container platform without altering the application's Java source code.
3. A Microsoft SQL Server database containing transactional billing data. The enterprise wants to migrate this database to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL to avoid database licensing fees. Preliminary analysis with the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) indicates that all stored procedures must be rewritten to match PostgreSQL syntax. The migration must be completed within a maximum scheduled downtime window of 2 hours.
Which of the following migration paths represent the correct classifications for these components under the 7 Rs migration framework? (Select TWO.)

A solutions architect is migrating an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server database to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL using the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) and the AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). The migration strategy requires minimal downtime, so the architect configures a DMS replication task with full load and ongoing replication (Change Data Capture). The full load phase completes successfully, and all initial data is copied to the target database. However, the task immediately fails and halts when attempting to replicate subsequent transactional updates. What is the most likely cause of this replication failure?
An enterprise manages two AWS accounts within an organization in AWS Organizations with consolidated billing enabled:
- Account A runs a microservices application utilizing AWS Fargate tasks and AWS Lambda functions to process bursty, unpredictable customer requests. It also runs a production Amazon RDS for MySQL database. The database CPU utilization averages over a period, while its database buffer pool usage remains constant at .
- Account B runs a legacy backend service on a steady-state fleet of Amazon EC2 `m6i.2xlarge` instances (, memory) in an Auto Scaling group across three Availability Zones. Average CPU utilization is and memory utilization is . Outbound traffic for these instances is routed through a single NAT Gateway in one Availability Zone to minimize gateway hour costs.
The enterprise wants to optimize its resource costs and sizing while maintaining strict high availability, application performance, and minimizing operational overhead.
Which two recommendations should a solutions architect make to achieve these goals?

A logistics company utilizes a multi-account structure under AWS Organizations. Application workloads in various member accounts write sensitive delivery receipt logs to a centralized Amazon S3 bucket located in a dedicated Security account. The S3 bucket currently relies on Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) for default encryption. To comply with new industry regulations, the company must enforce encryption of all logs at rest using a customer-managed KMS key that is automatically rotated. Additionally, member accounts must only be permitted to encrypt objects during upload and must not have permission to decrypt the logs once written. What is the most secure configuration that achieves these requirements?
An enterprise is designing a new multi-VPC AWS environment in the `us-west-2` Region. The architecture includes a shared services VPC (`vpc-shared-services`), two workload VPCs (`vpc-prod-app` and `vpc-stage-app`), and a centralized egress VPC (`vpc-egress`). The workloads are deployed across two Availability Zones. An AWS Transit Gateway (`tgw-core`) interconnects all VPCs. The enterprise must meet the following requirements:
1. Allow resources in all VPCs to resolve on-premises DNS hostnames ending in `.corp.internal`.
2. Allow on-premises servers to resolve AWS resources in a Route 53 Private Hosted Zone (PHZ) named `aws.corp.internal` that contains records for resources in the workload VPCs.
3. Provide outbound internet access for private subnets in the workload VPCs while minimizing NAT Gateway costs and maintaining High Availability (HA) across both Availability Zones.
Which configuration satisfies these requirements?
A healthcare enterprise is designing a multi-account AWS environment in the us-east-1 Region. The architecture contains three application VPCs: a management VPC (vpc-mgt-prod) in Account A, a portal VPC (vpc-portal-prod) in Account B, and a secure data-processing VPC (vpc-data-prod) in Account C. The enterprise has established a AWS Direct Connect connection to its on-premises network via a Direct Connect Gateway (dxgw-hybrid-core).
The network design must adhere to the following requirements:
- Instances in vpc-portal-prod and vpc-data-prod must resolve domain names under a Private Hosted Zone (PHZ) named corp.internal hosted in Account A.
- All outbound internet traffic from vpc-portal-prod and vpc-data-prod must pass through a centralized egress VPC (vpc-egress-prod) that has security monitoring tools.
- Direct VPC-to-VPC communication between vpc-portal-prod and vpc-data-prod must be prevented for compliance reasons.
- The solution must be highly available and minimize operational complexity.

An online ticketing platform manages a high-volume event booking application on AWS. The application tier connects to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster with one primary (writer) instance and one Aurora Replica (reader) instance. During flash sales, the platform experiences database latency spikes and connection failures, resulting in dropped bookings. An analysis reveals that the application exhausts the database's maximum connection limit due to a lack of connection pooling. Additionally, database read performance degrades under heavy concurrent searches for the same event catalog, and active user session states are lost during application node scaling. Which two actions should a Solutions Architect recommend to resolve these issues while maintaining high availability and session persistence? (Select TWO.)

An enterprise utilizes a multi-account AWS environment managed via AWS Organizations. A central DevOps team maintains a continuous delivery pipeline in a Tooling account using AWS CodePipeline. The pipeline orchestrates the deployment of a microservices application to Amazon ECS (Fargate) in a separate Production account. The pipeline packages deployment artifacts and writes them to an Amazon S3 bucket in the Tooling account, encrypted using the default AWS-managed KMS key (aws/s3).
During a release, the CodePipeline execution fails at the CodeDeploy stage in the Production account with an Access Denied error when trying to retrieve the deployment package from the Tooling account's S3 bucket. A solutions architect must resolve this issue while maintaining the automated deployment process and enforcing the principle of least privilege.
Which of the following actions should the solutions architect take to resolve the deployment failure?
An enterprise manages a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group (ASG) deployed via AWS CloudFormation.

An enterprise is improving the security posture of an existing web portal hosted on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The security team attaches an AWS WAF WebACL to the ALB with the following requirements:
1. Block all requests containing SQL injection (SQLi) patterns.
2. Limit requests from any single IP address to a maximum of 2,000 requests per 5 minutes.
3. Allow an external partner's automated testing suite, which originates from a specific static IP range, to bypass the rate limit.
The WebACL is initially configured with the following rules:
- Priority 10: A rule matching the partner's IP address range with an action of Allow.
- Priority 20: An AWS Managed Rules SQL database rule group with an action of Block.
- Priority 30: A custom rate-based rule set to Block requests exceeding 2,000 per 5 minutes.
- Default Action: Allow.
During a penetration test, the partner successfully performs a SQL injection attack against the portal.
Which configuration change should the security team implement to resolve this vulnerability while meeting all requirements?
An enterprise is planning to migrate its commercial underwriting application portfolio to AWS. A solutions architect is performing the initial portfolio assessment to determine the appropriate migration strategy (7 Rs) for the following application components:
1. Transactional Database: Runs on IBM Db2. The target is Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL to eliminate commercial licensing costs. This migration requires comprehensive schema conversion and modifications to SQL queries and stored procedures within the application code to handle database engine differences.
2. Web Portal Tier: Runs on IBM WebSphere Application Server on AIX. The business wants to containerize the application to run on Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate to reduce OS licensing costs, without modifying any underlying Java application code.
3. Legacy Archival System: Runs on a legacy version of Windows Server. The software requires a physical USB security dongle plugged into the host server to function. The vendor is out of business, and no virtual or software-based licensing option exists.
4. Internal Reporting Database: Runs on Microsoft SQL Server 2019 on Windows Server 2019. It has low utilization, and the company wants to move it to a managed database service on AWS with minimal administrative effort while maintaining the exact same database engine.

An enterprise is strengthening the security of an existing document management system. The system components are distributed as follows:
- On-premises servers in a corporate data center connect to AWS via an AWS Direct Connect connection to an AWS Transit Gateway.
- An application tier runs on Amazon EC2 instances in VPC A (Account A).
- A centralized Amazon S3 bucket containing sensitive PDF files is located in Account B and is encrypted with an AWS KMS key.
Currently, the on-premises servers communicate with the application tier in VPC A via public IP addresses. The application tier accesses the S3 bucket in Account B over the public internet using IAM user access keys stored locally on the EC2 instances.
The solutions architect must implement a security improvement plan that satisfies the following requirements:
- All network traffic between the corporate data center, VPC A, and the S3 bucket must remain within the private network.
- The application tier in VPC A must access the S3 bucket without using long-lived credentials.
- The S3 bucket must only accept requests originating from VPC A or the corporate data center.
- The KMS key must support cross-account access for the application tier in VPC A.
Which combination of actions will meet these requirements in the most secure and operationally efficient manner?
