Question

A startup company is hosting a website for its customers on an Amazon EC2 instance. The website consists of a stateless Python application and a MySQL database. The website serves only a small amount of traffic. The company is concerned about the reliability of the instance and needs to migrate to a highly available architecture. The company cannot modify the application code. Which combination of actions should a solutions architect take to achieve high availability for the website? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B, E. The correct answer is B, E. Option B: Migrate the database to an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance. Option E: Create an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic to an Auto Scaling group of EC2 instances that are distributed across two Availability Zones. Auto Scaling adjusts capacity automatically to match demand, improving availability and cost efficiency. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. 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.
