Questions 33

An international delivery company hosts a delivery management system on AWS. Drivers use the system to upload confirmation of delivery. Confirmation includes the recipient's signature or a photo of the package with the recipient. The driver's handheld device uploads signatures and photos through FTP to a single Amazon EC2 instance. Each handheld device saves a file in a directory based on the signed-in user, and the file name matches the delivery number. The EC2 instance then adds metadata to the file after querying a central database to pull delivery information. The file is then placed in Amazon S3 for archiving.

As the company expands, drivers report that the system is rejecting connections. The FTP server is having problems because of dropped connections and memory issues. In response to these problems, a system engineer schedules a cron task to reboot the EC2 instance every 30 minutes. The billing team reports that files are not always in the archive and that the central system is not always updated.

A solutions architect needs to design a solution that maximizes scalability to ensure that the archive always receives the files and that systems are always updated. The handheld devices cannot be modified, so the company cannot deploy a new application.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

A.

Create an AMI of the existing EC2 instance. Create an Auto Scaling group of EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. Configure the Auto Scaling group to have a minimum of three instances.

B.

Use AWS Transfer Family to create an FTP server that places the files in Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). Mount the EFS volume to the existing EC2 instance. Point the EC2 instance to the new path for file processing.

C.

Use AWS Transfer Family to create an FTP server that places the files in Amazon S3. Use an S3 event notification through Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to invoke an AWS Lambda function. Configure the Lambda function to add the metadata and update the delivery system.

D.

The company has set the visibility timeout for the SQS queue to 1 hour. The company has set up an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to notify the development team when there are messages in the dead-letter queue.

Several times during the day, the development team receives notification that messages are in the dead-letter queue and that videos have not been processed properly. An investigation finds no errors in the application logs.

How can the company solve this problem?

A software company has deployed an application that consumes a REST API by using Amazon API Gateway. AWS Lambda functions, and an Amazon DynamoDB table. The application is showing an increase in the number of errors during PUT requests. Most of the PUT calls come from a small number of clients that are authenticated with specific API keys.

A company needs to implement disaster recovery for a critical application that runs in a single AWS Region. The application's users interact with a web frontend that is hosted on Amazon EC2 Instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application writes to an Amazon RD5 tor MySQL DB instance. The application also outputs processed documents that are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket

The company's finance team directly queries the database to run reports. During busy periods, these queries consume resources and negatively affect application performance.

A solutions architect must design a solution that will provide resiliency during a disaster. The solution must minimize data loss and must resolve the performance problems that result from the finance team's queries.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

A.

Migrate the database to Amazon DynamoDB and use DynamoDB global tables. Instruct the finance team to query a global table in a separate Region.
