High-Performing Architecture IV

Equip yourself with the necessary understanding to confidently tackle exam questions by reviewing assessment questions and explanations against all options.

We'll cover the following

Question 63

A gaming studio is deploying a highly available architecture. The game servers run a Linux kernel that supports only UDP-based traffic. The studio requires a front tier that provides the best user experience. The front tier must have a static IP address that offers low latency and routes traffic to the nearest edge location.

What solution should a solutions architect implement to meet these requirements?

A. Configure AWS Route 53 to forward requests to the Application Load Balancer. Use EC2 instances for the game server in the Auto Scaling group.

B. Configure an AWS CloudFront to forward requests to the Application Load Balancer. Use EC2 instances for the game server in the Auto Scaling group.

C. Configure an AWS CloudFront to forward requests to the Network Load Balancer. Use EC2 instances for the game server in the Auto Scaling group.

D. Configure an AWS CloudFront to forward requests to the Network Load Balancer. Use AWS Lambda for the game server.

Question 64

A social media company has over a million users using its social media application. The company must analyze the data usage concurrently; the company should also encrypt the data in near real-time and store data at a centralized location in Apache Parquet format for future processing needs.

The solutions architect must provide a solution with the least operational overhead.

A. Deploy an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to store data in the Amazon Redshift Cluster. Invoke the Lambda function to send data to the EMR cluster to analyze the data.

B. Deploy an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to store data in the Amazon Redshift Cluster. Invoke the Lambda function to send data to the EC2 instances to analyze the data.

C. Deploy an Amazon Kinesis Data stream to store data in the Amazon S3 bucket. Invoke the Lambda function to send data to the Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics application to analyze the data.

D. Deploy an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to store data in the Amazon S3 bucket and utilize the Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics application to analyze the data.

Question 65

A company runs a Windows file server on-premises to store more than 5 TB of data. Employees and users interact with the data daily. As data grows, the company plans to shift its load to the AWS Cloud. The company requires access to AWS and on-premises file storage with minimum latency.

As a solutions architect, provide a solution to meet these requirements with minimum operational overhead and no significant change to the existing file access pattern.

Which solution meets these requirements?

A. Configure Amazon FSx for the Windows file server. Migrate the on-premises data to Amazon FSx and reconfigure the workloads to use Amazon FSx.

B. Configure Amazon S3 File Gateway on-premises. Migrate the on-premises data to Amazon S3 File Gateway and reconfigure the workloads to use Amazon S3 File Gateway.

C. Configure Amazon S3 File Gateway on-premises. Migrate the on-premises data to Amazon S3 and reconfigure the workloads to use Amazon S3.

D. Configure Amazon FSx for the Windows file server. Deploy FSx File Gateway on-premises. Migrate the on-premises data to Amazon FSx File Gateway and reconfigure the AWS workloads to use Amazon FSx and on-premises workloads to use FSx File Gateway.
