CORRECT ANSWERS (2026)



●● A solutions architect is designing a high performance computing
(HPC) workload on Amazon EC2. The EC2 instances need to
communicate to each other frequently and require network performance
with low latency and high throughput.


Which EC2 configuration meets these requirements?


A. Launch the EC2 instances in a cluster placement group in one
Availability Zone.


B. Launch the EC2 instances in a spread placement group in one
Availability Zone.


C. Launch the EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group in two Regions
and peer the VPCs.


D. Launch the EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group spanning
multiple Availability Zones.

,Answer: A. Launch the EC2 instances in a cluster placement group in
one Availability Zone.


●● A company wants to host a scalable web application on AWS. The
application will be accessed by users from different geographic regions
of the world.Application users will be able to download and upload
unique data up to gigabytes in size. The development team wants a cost-
effective solution to minimize upload and download latency and
maximize performance.


What should a solutions architect do to accomplish this?


A. Use Amazon S3 with Transfer Acceleration to host the application.


B. Use Amazon S3 with CacheControl headers to host the application.


C. Use Amazon EC2 with Auto Scaling and Amazon CloudFront to host
the application.


D. Use Amazon EC2 with Auto Scaling and Amazon ElastiCache to host
the application.
Answer: A. Use Amazon S3 with Transfer Acceleration to host the
application.

,●● A company is migrating from an on-premises infrastructure to the
AWS Cloud. One of the company's applications stores files on a

B. Amazon FSx
C. Amazon S3
D. AWS Storage Gateway
Answer: B. Amazon FSx


●● A company has a legacy application that process data in two parts.
The second part of the process takes longer than the first, so the
company has decided to rewrite the application as two microservices
running on Amazon ECS that can scale independently.


How should a solutions architect integrate the microservices?


A. Implement code in microservice 1 to send data to an Amazon S3
bucket. Use S3 event notifications to invoke microservice 2.

, B. Implement code in microservice 1 to publish data to an Amazon SNS
topic. Implement code in microservice 2 to subscribe to this topic.


C. Implement code in microservice 1 to send data to Amazon Kinesis
Data Firehose. Implement code in microservice 2 to read from Kinesis
Data Firehose.


D. Implement code in microservice 1 to send data to an Amazon SQS
queue. Implement code in microservice 2 to process messages from the
queue.
Answer: D. Implement code in microservice 1 to send data to an
Amazon SQS queue. Implement code in microservice 2 to process
messages from the queue.


●● A company captures clickstream data from multiple websites and
analyzes it using batch processing. The data is loaded nightly into
Amazon Redshift and is consumed by business analysts. The company
wants to move towards near-real-time data processing for timely
insights. The solution should process the streaming data with minimal
effort and operational overhead.
