AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 187

Question

A company is developing an ecommerce application that will consist of a load-balanced front end, a container-based application, and a relational database. A solutions architect needs to create a highly available solution that operates with as little manual intervention as possible. Which solutions meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A, D. The correct answer is A, D. Option A: Create an Amazon RDS DB instance in Multi-AZ mode. Option D: Create an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster with a Fargate launch type to handle the dynamic application load. AWS Fargate runs containers serverlessly so there are no EC2 hosts to manage or patch. Amazon ECS orchestrates containers and integrates natively with AWS networking and IAM. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
