Question 1
AWS CloudFormation is a service that helps you model and set up your Amazon Web Services resources so that you can spend less time managing those resources and more time focusing on your applications that run in AWS. You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want (like Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances), and AWS CloudFormation takes care of provisioning and configuring those resources for you. What formatting is required for this template?
Question 2
You have been asked to design a fault-tolerant and scalable web application across three availability zones. The presentation logic will reside on web servers behind an ELB classic load balancer, and the application logic will reside on a set of app servers behind a second load balancer. How should you use auto scaling groups?
Question 3
An application runs on multiple Amazon EC2 instances. Each running instance of the application must have access to a shared file system.
Where should the data be stored?
Question 4
You've been hired to enhance the overall security posture for a very large e-commerce site They have a well architected multi-tier application running in a VPC that uses ELBs in front of both the web and the app tier with static assets served directly from S3 They are using a combination of RDS and DynamoOB for their dynamic data and then archiving nightly into S3 for further processing with EMR They are concerned because they found questionable log entries and suspect someone is attempting to gain unauthorized access.
Which approach provides a cost effective scalable mitigation to this kind of attack?
Question 5
A company has three VPCs named Development, Testing, and Production in the us-east-1 Region. The three VPCs need to be connected to an on-premises data center and are designed to be separate to maintain security and prevent any resource sharing. A solutions architect needs to find a scalable and secure solution.
What should the solutions architect recommend?
