Topic 1 · Question 401

A company wants to use the AWS Cloud to make an existing application highly available and resilient. The current version of the application resides in the company's data center. The application recently experienced data loss after a database server crashed because of an unexpected power outage. The company needs a solution that avoids any single points of failure. The solution must give the application the ability to scale to meet user demand. Which solution will meet these requirements?

  • ADeploy the application servers by using Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. Use an Amazon RDS DB instance in a Multi-AZ configuration. (correct answer)
  • BDeploy the application servers by using Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group in a single Availability Zone. Deploy the database on an EC2 instance. Enable EC2 Auto Recovery.
  • CDeploy the application servers by using Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. Use an Amazon RDS DB instance with a read replica in a single Availability Zone. Promote the read replica to replace the primary DB instance if the primary DB instance fails.
  • DDeploy the application servers by using Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. Deploy the primary and secondary database servers on EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones. Use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Multi-Attach to create shared storage between the instances.
Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A. Option A: Deploy the application servers by using Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. Use an Amazon RDS DB instance in a Multi-AZ configuration.

Topic 1 · Question 402

A company needs to ingest and handle large amounts of streaming data that its application generates. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances and sends data to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, which is configured with default settings. Every other day, the application consumes the data and writes the data to an Amazon S3 bucket for business intelligence (BI) processing. The company observes that Amazon S3 is not receiving all the data that the application sends to Kinesis Data Streams. What should a solutions architect do to resolve this issue?

  • AUpdate the Kinesis Data Streams default settings by modifying the data retention period. (correct answer)
  • BUpdate the application to use the Kinesis Producer Library (KPL) to send the data to Kinesis Data Streams.
  • CUpdate the number of Kinesis shards to handle the throughput of the data that is sent to Kinesis Data Streams.
  • DTurn on S3 Versioning within the S3 bucket to preserve every version of every object that is ingested in the S3 bucket.
Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A. Option A: Update the Kinesis Data Streams default settings by modifying the data retention period.

Explanation

Kinesis Data Streams ingests and processes high-volume real-time streaming data. Amazon Kinesis ingests and processes real-time streaming data at scale. This option meets the real-time / low-latency performance requirement.
