A company requires a solution to allow customers to customize images that are stored in an online catalog. The image customization parameters will be sent in requests to Amazon API Gateway. The customized image will then be generated on-demand and can be accessed online. The solutions architect requires a highly available solution. Which solution will be MOST cost-effective?

Use Amazon EC2 instances to manipulate the original images into the requested customization. Store the original and manipulated images in Amazon S3. Configure an Elastic Load Balancer in front of the EC2 instances

Use AWS Lambda to manipulate the original images to the requested customization. Store the original and manipulated images in Amazon S3. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution with the S3 bucket as the origin

Use AWS Lambda to manipulate the original images to the requested customization. Store the original images in Amazon S3 and the manipulated images in Amazon DynamoDB. Configure an Elastic Load Balancer in front of the Amazon EC2 instances

Use Amazon EC2 instances to manipulate the original images into the requested customization. Store the original images in Amazon S3 and the manipulated images in Amazon DynamoDB. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution with the S3 bucket as the origin

A solutions architect is finalizing the architecture for a distributed database that will run across multiple Amazon EC2 instances. Data will be replicated across all instances so the loss of an instance will not cause loss of data. The database requires block storage with low latency and throughput that supports up to several million transactions per second per server. Which storage solution should the solutions architect use?

Amazon EBS

Amazon EC2 instance store

Amazon EFS

Amazon S3

A company is deploying a new web application that will run on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones. The application requires a shared storage solution that offers strong consistency as the content will be regularly updated. Which solution requires the LEAST amount of effort?

Create an Amazon S3 bucket to store the web content and use Amazon CloudFront to deliver the content

Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system and mount it on the individual Amazon EC2 instances

Create a shared Amazon Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume and mount it on the individual Amazon EC2 instances

Create a volume gateway using AWS Storage Gateway to host the data and mount it to the Auto Scaling group

A website runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The website has a mix of dynamic and static content. Customers around the world are reporting performance issues with the website. Which set of actions will improve website performance for users worldwide?

Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution and configure the ALB as an origin. Then update the Amazon Route 53 record to point to the CloudFront distribution

Create a latency-based Amazon Route 53 record for the ALB. Then launch new EC2 instances with larger instance sizes and register the instances with the ALB

Launch new EC2 instances hosting the same web application in different Regions closer to the users. Use an AWS Transit Gateway to connect customers to the closest region

Migrate the website to an Amazon S3 bucket in the Regions closest to the users. Then create an Amazon Route 53 geolocation record to point to the S3 buckets

A web application has recently been launched on AWS. The architecture includes two tier with a web layer and a database later. It has been identified that the web server layer may be vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. What should a solutions architect do to remediate the vulnerability?

Create a Classic Load Balancer. Put the web layer behind the load balancer and enable AWS WAF

Create a Network Load Balancer. Put the web layer behind the load balancer and enable AWS WAF

Create an Application Load Balancer. Put the web layer behind the load balancer and enable AWS WAF

Create an Application Load Balancer. Put the web layer behind the load balancer and use AWS Shield Standard

A multi-tier application runs with eight front-end web servers in an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group in a single Availability Zone behind an Application Load Balancer. A solutions architect needs to modify the infrastructure to be highly available without modifying the application. Which architecture should the solutions architect choose that provides high availability?

Create an Auto Scaling group that uses four instances across each of two Regions

Modify the Auto Scaling group to use four instances across each of two Availability Zones

Create an Auto Scaling template that can be used to quickly create more instances in another Region

Create an Auto Scaling group that uses four instances across each of two subnets

A company's web application is using multiple Amazon EC2 Linux instances and storing data on Amazon EBS volumes. The company is looking for a solution to increase the resiliency of the application in case of a failure. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

: Launch the application on EC2 instances in each Availability Zone. Attach EBS volumes to each EC2 instance

Create an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling groups across multiple Availability Zones. Mount an instance store on each EC2 instance

Create an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling groups across multiple Availability Zones. Store data on Amazon EFS and mount a target on each instance

Create an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling groups across multiple Availability Zones. Store data using Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-A)

A web application that allows users to upload and share documents is running on a single Amazon EC2 instance with an Amazon EBS volume. To increase availability the architecture has been updated to use an Auto Scaling group of several instances across Availability Zones behind an Application Load Balancer. After the change users can only see a subset of the documents. What is the BEST method for a solutions architect to modify the solution so users can see all documents?

Run a script to synchronize the data between Amazon EBS volumes

Use Sticky Sessions with the ALB to ensure users are directed to the same EC2 instance in a session

Copy the data from all EBS volumes to Amazon EFS. Modify the application to save new documents to Amazon EFS

Configure the Application Load Balancer to send the request to all servers. Return each document from the correct server

A solutions architect is optimizing a website for real-time streaming and on-demand videos. The website’s users are located around the world and the solutions architect needs to optimize the performance for both the real-time and on-demand streaming. Which service should the solutions architect choose?

Amazon CloudFront

AWS Global Accelerator

Amazon Route 53

Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration0

An application is running on Amazon EC2 behind an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). Content is being published using Amazon CloudFront and you need to restrict the ability for users to circumvent CloudFront and access the content directly through the ELB. How can you configure this solution?

Create an Origin Access Identity (OAI) and associate it with the distribution

Use signed URLs or signed cookies to limit access to the content

Use a Network ACL to restrict access to the ELB

Create a VPC Security Group for the ELB and use AWS Lambda to automatically update the CloudFront internal service IP addresses when they change
