Question 1 ( Topic 1)
A company collects data for temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure in
cities across multiple continents. The average volume of data that the company
collects from each site daily is 500 GB. Each site has a high-speed Internet
connection. The company wants to aggregate the data from all these global sites as
quickly as possible in a single Amazon S3 bucket. The solution must minimize
operational complexity.
Which solution meets these requirements?
A. Turn on S3 Transfer Acceleration on the destination S3 bucket. Use multipart
uploads to directly upload site data to the destination S3 bucket.
B. Upload the data from each site to an S3 bucket in the closest Region. Use S3
Cross-Region Replication to copy objects to the destination S3 bucket.
Then remove the data from the origin S3 bucket.
,C. Schedule AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device jobs daily to transfer
data from each site to t - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer : A. Turn on S3 Transfer
Acceleration on the destination S3 bucket. Use multipart uploads to directly upload
site data to the destination S3 bucket.
Question 2 ( Topic 1)
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?
A. Use Amazon Redshift to load all the content into one place and run the SQL
queries as needed.
B. Use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to store the logs. Run SQL queries as needed
from the Amazon CloudWatch console.
C. Use Amazon Athena directly with Amazon S3 to run the queries as needed.
D. Use AWS Glue to catalog the logs. Use a transient Apache Spark cluster on
Amazon EMR to run the SQL queries as needed. - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer
: C. Use Amazon Athena directly with Amazon S3 to run the queries as needed.
Question 3 ( Topic 1)
A company uses AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts for
different departments. The management account has an Amazon S3 bucket that
contains project reports. The company wants to limit access to this S3 bucket to
only users of accounts within the organization in AWS Organizations.
Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational
overhead?
A. Add the aws PrincipalOrgID global condition key with a reference to the
organization ID to the S3 bucket policy.
,B. Create an organizational unit (OU) for each department. Add the
aws:PrincipalOrgPaths global condition key to the S3 bucket policy.
C. Use AWS CloudTrail to monitor the CreateAccount,
InviteAccountToOrganization, LeaveOrganization, and
RemoveAccountFromOrganization
events. Update the S3 bucket policy accordingly.
D. Tag each user that needs access to the S3 bucket. Add the aws:PrincipalTag
global conditio - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer : A. Add the aws PrincipalOrgID
global condition key with a reference to the organization ID to the S3 bucket
policy.
Question 4 ( Topic 1)
An application runs on an Amazon EC2 instance in a VPC. The application
processes logs that are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. The EC2 instance needs to
access the S3 bucket without connectivity to the internet.
Which solution will provide private network connectivity to Amazon S3?
A. Create a gateway VPC endpoint to the S3 bucket.
B. Stream the logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Export the logs to the S3 bucket.
C. Create an instance profile on Amazon EC2 to allow S3 access.
D. Create an Amazon API Gateway API with a private link to access the S3
endpoint. - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer : A. Create a gateway VPC endpoint to
the S3 bucket.
Question 5 ( Topic 1)
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?
A. Copy the data so both EBS volumes contain all the documents.
B. Configure the Application Load Balancer to direct a user to the server with the
documents.
C. Copy the data from both EBS volumes to Amazon EFS. Modify the application
to save new documents to Amazo - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer : C. Copy the
data from both EBS volumes to Amazon EFS. Modify the application to save new
documents to Amazon EFS.
Question 6 ( Topic 1)
A company uses NFS to store large video files in on-premises network attached
storage. Each video file ranges in size from 1 MB to 500 GB. The total storage is
70 TB and is no longer growing. The company decides to migrate the video files to
Amazon S3. The company must migrate the video files as soon as possible while
using the least possible network bandwidth.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A. Create an S3 bucket. Create an IAM role that has permissions to write to the S3
bucket. Use the AWS CLI to copy all files locally to the S3 bucket.
B. Create an AWS Snowball Edge job. Receive a Snowball Edge device on
premises. Use the Snowball Edge client to transfer data to the device. Return the
device so that AWS can import the data into Amazon S3.
C. Deploy an S3 File Gateway on premises. Create a public service endpoint to
connect to the S3 File Gateway. Create an S3 bucket. Create a n - CORRECT
ANSWER-Answer : C. Deploy an S3 File Gateway on premises. Create a public
service endpoint to connect to the S3 File Gateway. Create an S3 bucket. Create a
new NFS file share on the S3 File Gateway. Point the new file share to the S3
bucket. Transfer the data from the existing NFS file share to the S3 File Gateway.
