A company needs the ability to analyze the log files of its proprietary application. The logs are stored in JSON format in an Amazon S3 bucket. Queries will be simple and will run on-demand. A solutions architect needs to perform the analysis with minimal changes to the existing architecture. What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?

Use Amazon Redshift to load all the content into one place and run the SQL queries as needed.

Use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to store the logs. Run SQL queries as needed from the Amazon CloudWatch console.

Use Amazon Athena directly with Amazon S3 to run the queries as needed.

Use AWS Glue to catalog the logs. Use a transient Apache Spark cluster on Amazon EMR to run the SQL queries as needed.

Comments udeHighly Voted 2 years, 9 months ago Selected Answer: A aws:PrincipalOrgID Validates if the principal accessing the resource belongs to an account in your organization. upvoted 80 times BoboChow2 years, 9 months ago the condition key aws:PrincipalOrgID can prevent the members who don't belong to your organization to access the resource upvoted 22 times NaneyerockyHighly Voted 9 months, 3 weeks ago Selected Answer: A Condition keys: AWS provides condition keys that you can query to provide more granular control over certain actions. The following condition keys are especially useful with AWS Organizations: aws:PrincipalOrgID – Simplifies specifying the Principal element in a resource-based policy. This global key provides an alternative to listing all the account IDs for all AWS accounts in an organization. Instead of listing all of the accounts that are members of an organization, you can specify the organization ID in the Condition element. aws:PrincipalOrgPaths – Use this condition key to match members of a specific organization root, an OU, or its children. The aws:PrincipalOrgPaths condition key returns true when the principal (root user, IAM user, or role) making the request is in the specified organization path. A path is a text representation of the structure of an AWS Organizations entity. upvoted 26 times Sleepy_Lazy_Coder1 year, 11 months ago are we not choosing ou because the least overhead term was use? option B also seems correct upvoted 5 times EMPERBACH1 year, 2 months ago As there are many OU, you need more effort to list down OU path.

A company is hosting a web application on AWS using a single Amazon EC2 instance that stores user-uploaded documents in an Amazon EBS volume. For better scalability and availability, the company duplicated the architecture and created a second EC2 instance and EBS volume in another Availability Zone, placing both behind an Application Load Balancer. After completing this change, users reported that, each time they refreshed the website, they could see one subset of their documents or the other, but never all of the documents at the same time. What should a solutions architect propose to ensure users see all of their documents at once?

File Gateway uses the Internet, so maximum speed will be at most 1Gbps, so it'll take a minimum of 6.5 days and you use 70TB of Internet bandwidth.

You can achieve speeds of up to 10Gbps with Direct Connect. Total time 15.5 hours and you will use 70TB of bandwidth. However, what's interesting is that the question does not specific what type of bandwidth? Direct Connect does not use your Internet bandwidth, as you will have a dedicate peer to peer connectivity between your on-prem and the AWS Cloud, so technically, you're not using your "public" bandwidth. The requirements are a bit too vague but I think that B is the most appropriate answer, although D might also be correct if the bandwidth usage refers strictly to your public connectivity. upvoted 126 times abhishek_m892 years, 7 months ago and it says, "The total storage is 70 TB and is no longer growing".

Configure the consumer applications to read from DynamoDB to process the messages.

Write the messages to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams with a single shard. Use an AWS Lambda function to preprocess messages and store them in Amazon DynamoD

Publish the messages to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic with multiple Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) subscriptions. Configure the consumer applications to process the messages from the queues. This solution uses Amazon SNS and SQS to publish and subscribe to messages respectively, which decouples the system and enables scalability by allowing multiple consumer applications to process the messages in parallel. Additionally, using Amazon SQS with multiple subscriptions can provide increased resiliency by allowing multiple copies of the same message to be processed in parallel. upvoted 19 times SilentMilli2 years, 6 months ago By default, an SQS queue can handle a maximum of 3,000 messages per second. However, you can request higher throughput by contacting AWS Support. AWS can increase the message throughput for your queue beyond the default limits in increments of 300 messages per second, up to a maximum of 10,000 messages per second. It's important to note that the maximum number of messages per second that a queue can handle is not the same as the maximum number of requests per second that the SQS API can handle. The SQS API is designed to handle a high volume of requests per second, so it can be used to send messages to your queue at a rate that exceeds the maximum message throughput of the queue. upvoted 19 times 90142 years, 7 months ago of course, the answer is D upvoted 3 times PhucVuuHighly Voted 9 months, 3 weeks ago Selected Answer: D Keywords: - The number of messages varies drastically - Sometimes increases suddenly to 100,000 each second A: Incorrect - Don't confuse between Kinesis Data Analytics and Kinesis Data Stream =)) Kinesis Data Analytics will get the data from Kinesis Data Stream or Kinesis Data FireHose or MSK (Managed Stream for apache Kafka) for analytic purpose. It can not consume message and send to applications. B: Incorrect - Base on the keywords -> Auto Scaling group not scale well because it need time to check the CPU metric and need time to start up the EC2 and the messages varies drastically. Example: we have to scale from 10 to 100 EC2. Our servers may be down a while when it was scaling. C: Incorrect - Kinesis Data Streams can handle this case but we should increase the more shards but not single shard. D: Correct: We can handle high workload well with fan-out pattern SNS + multiple SQS -> This is good for use case: - The number of messages varies drastically - Sometimes increases suddenly to 100,000 each second upvoted 24 times shinejh05282 years, 3 months ago oh...

A company is migrating a distributed application to AWS. The application serves variable workloads. The legacy platform consists of a primary server that coordinates jobs across multiple compute nodes. The company wants to modernize the application with a solution that maximizes resiliency and scalability. How should a solutions architect design the architecture to meet these requirements?

Configure an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue as a destination for the jobs. Implement the compute nodes with Amazon EC2 instances that are managed in an Auto Scaling group. Configure EC2 Auto Scaling to use scheduled scaling.

Implement the primary server and the compute nodes with Amazon EC2 instances that are managed in an Auto Scaling group. Configure AWS CloudTrail as a destination for the jobs. Configure EC2 Auto Scaling based on the load on the primary server.

Eventbridge can act as a trigger for workloads, so it might just cut, although it wouldn't be my first choice. upvoted 1 times MGKYAING6 months, 2 weeks ago Selected Answer: B 1.Amazon SQS for Decoupling: Amazon SQS provides a fully managed message queue to decouple the primary server from the compute nodes. Jobs are sent to the queue, and compute nodes process them independently. This architecture eliminates a single point of failure (the primary server) and increases resilience. 2.Auto Scaling Group for Compute Nodes: EC2 instances managed in an Auto Scaling group process the jobs in the SQS queue. Auto Scaling dynamically adjusts the number of instances based on the queue size, ensuring scalability to handle variable workloads. 3.Scalability Based on Queue Size: Scaling based on the size of the SQS queue ensures that the system adjusts to workload demands efficiently. When the queue grows, more instances are launched; when the queue shrinks, instances are terminated. upvoted 2 times

A company is running an SMB file server in its data center. The file server stores large files that are accessed frequently for the first few days after the files are created. After 7 days the files are rarely accessed. The total data size is increasing and is close to the company's total storage capacity. A solutions architect must increase the company's available storage space without losing low-latency access to the most recently accessed files. The solutions architect must also provide file lifecycle management to avoid future storage issues. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Use AWS DataSync to copy data that is older than 7 days from the SMB file server to AWS.

Create an Amazon S3 File Gateway to extend the company's storage space. Create an S3 Lifecycle policy to transition the data to S3 Glacier Deep Archive after 7 days.

A: AWS Global Accelerator and Amazon CloudFront are separate services that use the AWS global network and its edge locations around the world. CloudFront improves performance for both cacheable content (such as images and videos) and dynamic content (such as API acceleration and dynamic site delivery). Global Accelerator improves performance for a wide range of applications over TCP or UDP by proxying packets at the edge to applications running in one or more AWS Regions. Global Accelerator is a good fit for non-HTTP use cases, such as gaming (UDP), IoT (MQTT), or Voice over IP, as well as for HTTP use cases that specifically require static IP addresses or deterministic, fast regional failover.

IAM Policy: While policies define permissions, they need to be attached to roles or users. Attaching a policy directly to EC2 instances is not possible. IAM Group: Groups are used to manage permissions for multiple users, not instances. IAM User: Users are intended for individual people or applications, not for EC2 instances. By using an IAM role, you follow AWS best practices for security and manageability.

The software that accesses this data requires consistently high I/O performance. A solutions architect needs to minimize the time that is required to clone the production data into the test environment. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Take EBS snapshots of the production EBS volumes. Restore the snapshots onto EC2 instance store volumes in the test environment.

Configure the production EBS volumes to use the EBS Multi-Attach feature. Take EBS snapshots of the production EBS volumes. Attach the production EBS volumes to the EC2 instances in the test environment.

reate a new volume from the snapshot. Use the create-volume command. For --snapshot-id, specify the ID of the snapshot to use. For -- availability-zone, specify the same Availability Zone as the instance. Configure the remaining parameters as needed. upvoted 2 times lsomas1 year, 4 months ago Answer is D because volumes that are created using fast snapshot restore instantly deliver all of their provisioned performance. Volumes created from normal snapshots will take time to initialize upvoted 2 times awsgeek751 year, 6 months ago Selected Answer: D A: Can work but long cloning time B: Wrong as multi attach will mean changes by test will affect production C: Slow D: Fast restore makes this a quicker option upvoted 3 times

Take EBS snapshots of the production EBS volumes. Turn on the EBS fast snapshot restore feature on the EBS snapshots. Restore the snapshots into new EBS volumes. Attach the new EBS volumes to EC2 instances in the test environment.

Comments UWSFishHighly Voted 2 years, 8 months ago Selected Answer: D https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-fast-snapshot-restore.html Amazon EBS fast snapshot restore (FSR) enables you to create a volume from a snapshot that is fully initialized at creation. This eliminates the latency of I/O operations on a block when it is accessed for the first time. Volumes that are created using fast snapshot restore instantly deliver all of their provisioned performance. upvoted 55 times PhucVuuHighly Voted 9 months, 3 weeks ago Selected Answer: D Keywords: - Modifications to the cloned data must not affect the production environment. - Minimize the time that is required to clone the production data into the test environment. A: Incorrect - we can do this But it is not minimize the time as requirement. B: Incorrect - This approach use same EBS volumes for produciton and test. If we modify test then it will be affected prodution environment. C: Incorrect - EBS snapshot will create new EBS volumes. It can not restore from existing volumes. D: Correct - Turn on the EBS fast snapshot restore feature on the EBS snapshots -> no latency on first use upvoted 43 times ClouddonMost Recent 1 week, 3 days ago Selected Answer: D Use EBS snapshots with Fast Snapshot Restore enabled to create fully-initialized, high-performance EBS volumes for the test environment — ensuring fast, safe, and performant data cloning without affecting production. upvoted 1 times se7en1022 months, 3 weeks ago Selected Answer: D EBS Snapshots: Taking snapshots of the production EBS volumes allows you to create point-in-time backups of the data without impacting the production environment. Fast Snapshot Restore: Enabling the EBS fast snapshot restore feature allows you to restore the snapshots to new EBS volumes much more quickly than standard restoration. This significantly reduces the time required to clone the data. New EBS Volumes: By restoring the snapshots into new EBS volumes, you ensure that the test environment is completely isolated from the production environment, allowing for modifications without any risk to production data. High I/O Performance: EBS volumes provide high I/O performance, which is essential for the software accessing the data in the test environment. upvoted 1 times PaulGa11 months ago Selected Answer: D Ans D - as per PhucVuu response... what's to debate... upvoted 1 times 1e2252211 months, 2 weeks ago Selected Answer: D Ye its d cuh upvoted 1 times 1dfed2b1 year, 4 months ago Selected Answer: C https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-restoring-volume.html Its
