AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 123

Question

A company has a dynamic web application hosted on two Amazon EC2 instances. The company has its own SSL certificate, which is on each instance to perform SSL termination. There has been an increase in traffic recently, and the operations team determined that SSL encryption and decryption is causing the compute capacity of the web servers to reach their maximum limit. What should a solutions architect do to increase the application's performance?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Import the SSL certificate into AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). Create an Application Load Balancer with an HTTPS listener that uses the SSL certificate from ACM. An Application Load Balancer distributes HTTP/HTTPS traffic and supports path/host routing. A load balancer distributes traffic across targets in multiple AZs for availability and scale. AWS Certificate Manager provisions and renews TLS certificates automatically.
