Question # 88

A company deploys an API by using an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that targets an AWS Lambda function. The API takes a list of tasks as an input and typically processes the tasks in 40 seconds. The API is CPU intensive and performs writes to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster. The API also performs frequent large-scale Amazon S3 object PUT requests to the same prefix of an S3 bucket.

The API usage and the number of input tasks is increasing significantly. The increased demand is causing the API response time to increase, and some API requests fail because the database connection quota is being exceeded. A DevOps engineer must improve the performance of the API.

Which combination of solutions will meet this requirement? (Select THREE.)

A.

Deploy a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and set the ALB as the target group for the NLB.

Question # 117

A company is migrating its container-based workloads to an AWS Organizations multi-account environment. The environment consists of application workload accounts that the company uses to deploy and run the containerized workloads. The company has also provisioned a shared services account tor shared workloads in the organization.

The company must follow strict compliance regulations. All container images must receive security scanning before they are deployed to any environment. Images can be consumed by downstream deployment mechanisms after the images pass a scan with no critical vulnerabilities. Pre-scan and post-scan images must be isolated from one another so that a deployment can never use pre-scan images.

A DevOps engineer needs to create a strategy to centralize this process.

Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative overhead? (Select TWO.)

A.

Create Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) repositories in the shared services account: one repository for each pre-scan image and one repository for each post-scan image. Configure Amazon ECR image scanning to run on new image pushes to the pre-scan repositories. Use resource-based policies to grant the organization write access to the pre-scan repositories and read access to the post-scan repositories.

B.

Create pre-scan Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) repositories in each account that publishes container images. Create repositories for post-scan images in the shared services account. Configure Amazon ECR image scanning to run on new image pushes to the pre-scan repositories. Use resource-based policies to grant the organization read access to the post-scan repositories.

C.

Configure image replication for each image from the image ' s pre-scan repository to the image ' s post-scan repository.

D.

Create a pipeline in AWS CodePipeline for each pre-scan repository. Create a source stage that runs when new images are pushed to the pre-scan repositories. Create a stage that uses AWS CodeBuild as the action provider. Write a buildspec.yaml definition that determines the image scanning status and pushes images without critical vulnerabilities lo the post-scan repositories.

E.

Create an AWS Lambda function. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that reacts to image scanning completed events and invokes the Lambda function. Write function code that determines the image scanning status and pushes images without critical vulnerabilities to the post-scan repositories.

A DevOps team incorporates automatic load and stress testing capabilities into a CI/CD pipeline by using AWS CodeBuild. The DevOps team uses an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster in a testing environment to perform load testing. The DevOps team set the minimum capacity for the testing DB cluster to 1. The DevOps team uses 10 DB clusters in a production environment. The DevOps team has set all the DB clusters to automatically scale up to a maximum capacity of 15 Aurora Replicas.
