A company is migrating a legacy application from an on-premises data center to AWS. The application consists of a single application server and a Microsoft SQL
Server database server. Each server is deployed on a VMware VM that consumes 500 TB of data across multiple attached volumes.
The company has established a 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection from the closest AWS Region to its on-premises data center. The Direct Connect connection is not currently in use by other services.
Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to migrate the application with the LEAST amount of downtime? (Choose two.)
A company has deployed an application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. The application uses Amazon Aurora for the database layer. An Amazon CloudFront distribution serves web requests and includes the Elastic Beanstalk domain name as the origin server. The distribution is configured with an alternate domain name that visitors use when they access the application.
Each week, the company takes the application out of service for routine maintenance. During the time that the application is unavailable, the company wants visitors to receive an informational message instead of a CloudFront error message.
A solutions architect creates an Amazon S3 bucket as the first step in the process.
Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take next to meet the requirements? (Choose three.)
A company wants to use a third-party software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. The third-party SaaS application is consumed through several API calls. The third-party SaaS application also runs on AWS inside a VPC.
The company will consume the third-party SaaS application from inside a VPC. The company has internal security policies that mandate the use of private connectivity that does not traverse the internet. No resources that run in the company VPC are allowed to be accessed from outside the company’s VPC. All permissions must conform to the principles of least privilege.

A global ecommerce company has many data centers worldwide. The company needs scalable cloud storage for legacy file applications. Requirements:
Must support iSCSI access from on-premises servers.
Must support point-in-time snapshots via AWS Backup.
Must retain low-latency access to frequently accessed data.Which solution will meet these requirements?
An application is using an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance in the us-east-1 Region. After a failover test, the application lost the connections to the database and could not re-establish the connections. After a restart of the application, the application re-established the connections.
A solutions architect must implement a solution so that the application can re-establish connections to the database without requiring a restart.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A software company needs to create short-lived test environments to test pull requests as part of its development process. Each test environment consists of a single Amazon EC2 instance that is in an Auto Scaling group.
The test environments must be able to communicate with a central server to report test results. The central server is located in an on-premises data center. A solutions architect must implement a solution so that the company can create and delete test environments without any manual intervention. The company has created a transit gateway with a VPN attachment to the on-premises network.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A company uses AWS Organizations AWS account. A solutions architect must design a solution in which only administrator roles are allowed to use IAM actions. However the solutions archited does not have access to all the AWS account throughout the company.
Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A company's solutions architect is reviewing a new internally developed application in a sandbox AWS account The application uses an AWS Auto Scaling group of Amazon EC2 instances that have an IAM instance profile attached Part of the application logic creates and accesses secrets from AWS Secrets Manager The company has an AWS Lambda function that calls the application API to test the functionality The company also has created an AWS CloudTrail trail in the account
The application's developer has attached the SecretsManagerReadWnte AWS managed IAM policy to an IAM role The IAM role is associated with the instance profile that is attached to the EC2 instances The solutions architect has invoked the Lambda function for testing
The solutions architect must replace the SecretsManagerReadWnte policy with a new policy that provides least privilege access to the Secrets Manager actions that the application requires
What is the MOST operationally efficient solution that meets these requirements?
A company is migrating to AWS and needs to inventory physical and virtual servers, apps, and database relationships to properly rightsize and plan migration.
A company is building a solution in the AWS Cloud. Thousands or devices will connect to the solution and send data. Each device needs to be able to send and receive data in real time over the MQTT protocol. Each device must authenticate by using a unique X.509 certificate.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?
A company wants to change its internal cloud billing strategy for each of its business units. Currently, the cloud governance team shares reports for overall cloud spending with the head of each business unit. The company uses AWS Organizations lo manage the separate AWS accounts for each business unit. The existing tagging standard in Organizations includes the application, environment, and owner. The cloud governance team wants a centralized solution so each business unit receives monthly reports on its cloud spending. The solution should also send notifications for any cloud spending that exceeds a set threshold.
Which solution is the MOST cost-effective way to meet these requirements?
A company needs to move some on-premises Oracle databases to AWS. The company has chosen to keep some of the databases on premises for business compliance reasons. The on-premises databases contain spatial data and run cron jobs for maintenance. The company needs to connect to the on-premises systems directly from AWS to query data as a foreign table. Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company needs to optimize the cost of its application on AWS. The application uses AWS Lambda functions and Amazon ECS containers that run on AWS Fargate. The application is write-heavy and stores data in an Amazon Aurora MySQL database.
The load on the application is not consistent. The application experiences long periods of no usage, followed by sudden and significant increases and decreases in traffic. The database runs on a memory optimized DB instance and has high utilization during peak times. A solutions architect must design a solution that can scale to handle the changes in traffic.
Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?
A company runs a simple Linux application on Amazon EKS by using nodes of the M6i (general purpose) instance type. The company has an EC2 Instance Savings Plan for the M6i family that will expire soon.
A solutions architect must minimize the EKS compute costs when the Savings Plan expires.
