AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 865

Question

A company's near-real-time streaming application is running on AWS. As the data is ingested, a job runs on the data and takes 30 minutes to complete. The workload frequently experiences high latency due to large amounts of incoming data. A solutions architect needs to design a scalable and serverless solution to enhance performance. Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A, E. The correct answer is A, E. Option A: Use Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to ingest the data. Option E: Use AWS Fargate with Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to process the data. 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. Kinesis Data Firehose delivers streaming data to destinations like S3/Redshift with no servers to manage. This option meets the real-time / low-latency performance requirement.
