Question

A company has an application that runs on a single Amazon EC2 instance. The application uses a MySQL database that runs on the same EC2 instance. The company needs a highly available and automatically scalable solution to handle increased traffic. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Deploy the application to EC2 instances that run in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer. Create an Amazon Aurora Serverless MySQL cluster for the database layer. 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. Aurora Serverless auto-scales database capacity and is cost-effective for variable workloads. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
