Question 1

A company's AWS architecture currently uses access keys and secret access keys stored on each instance to access AWS services Database credentials are hard-coded on each instance SSH keys for command-line remote access are stored in a secured Amazon S3 bucket The company has asked its solutions architect to improve the security posture of the architecture without adding operational complexly.
Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to accomplish this? (Select THREE.)

A.Use AWS Systems Manager Session Manager for remote access
B.Use a secure fleet of Amazon EC2 bastion hosts for remote access
C.Use AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store to store database credentials
D.Use AWS KMS to store database credentials
E.Use Amazon EC2 instance profiles with an IAM role
F.Use AWS Secrets Manager to store access keys and secret access keys

Question 2

A company's CISO has asked a Solutions Architect to re-engineer the company's current CI/CD practices to make sure patch deployments to its applications can happen as quickly as possible with minimal downtime if vulnerabilities are discovered. The company must also be able to quickly roll back a change in case of errors.
The web application is deployed in a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer.
The company is currently using GitHub to host the application source code and has configured an AWS CodeBuild project to build the application. The company also intends to use AWS CodePipeLine to trigger builds form GitHub commits using the existing CodeBuild project.
What CI/CD configuration meets all of the requirements?

A.Configure the CodePipeline with a deploy stage using AWS OpsWorks and in-place deployments.
Monitor the newly deployed code and if there are any issues, push another code update.
B.Configure CodePipeline with a deploy stage using AWS CodeDeploy configured for in-place deployment. Monitor the newly deployed code, and if there are any issues, push another code update.
C.Configure CodePipeline with a deploy stage using AWS CloudFormation to create a pipeline for test and production stacks. Monitor the newly deployed cod and if there are any issues push another code update.
D.Configure CodePipeline with a deploy stage using AWS CodeDeploy configure for blue/green deployments. Monitor the new deployed code and if there are any issues, trigger a manual rollback using CodeDeploy.

Question 3

A company needs to optimize the cost of an AWS environment that contains multiple accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations. The company conducted cost optimization activities 3 years ago and purchased Amazon EC2 Standard Reserved Instances that recently expired.
The company needs EC2 instances for 3 more years. Additionally, the company has deployed a new serverless workload.
Which strategy will provide the company with the MOST cost savings?

A.Purchase the same Reserved Instances for an additional 3-year term with All Upfront payment. Purchase a 3-year Compute Savings Plan with All Upfront payment in the management account to cover any additional compute costs.
B.Purchase a I-year Compute Savings Plan with No Upfront payment in each member account. Use the Savings Plans recommendations in the AWS Cost Management console to choose the Compute Savings Plan.
C.Purchase a 3-year EC2 Instance Savings Plan with No Upfront payment in the management account to cover EC2 costs in each AWS Region. Purchase a 3- year Compute Savings Plan with No Upfront payment in the management account to cover any additional compute costs.
D.Purchase a 3-year EC2 Instance Savings Plan with All Upfront payment in each member account. Use the Savings Plans recommendations in the AWS Cost Management console to choose the EC2 Instance Savings Plan.

Correct Answer: A

The company should purchase the same Reserved Instances for an additional 3-year term with All Upfront payment. The company should purchase a 3-year Compute Savings Plan with All Upfront payment in the management account to cover any additional compute costs. This solution will provide the company with the most cost savings because Reserved Instances and Savings Plans are both pricing models that offer significant discounts compared to On-Demand pricing. Reserved Instances are commitments to use a specific instance type and size in a single Region for a one- or three-year term. You can choose between three payment options:
No Upfront, Partial Upfront, or All Upfront. The more you pay upfront, the greater the discount1. Savings Plans are flexible pricing models that offer low prices on EC2 instances, Fargate, and Lambda usage, in exchange for a commitment to a consistent amount of usage (measured in $/hour) for a one- or three-year term. You can choose between two types of Savings Plans: Compute Savings Plans and EC2 Instance Savings Plans. Compute Savings Plans apply to any EC2 instance regardless of Region, instance family, operating system, or tenancy, including those that are part of EMR, ECS, or EKS clusters, or launched by Fargate or Lambda. EC2 Instance Savings Plans apply to a specific instance family within a Region and provide the most savings2. By purchasing the same Reserved Instances for an additional 3-year term with All Upfront payment, the company can lock in the lowest possible price for its EC2 instances that run continuously for 3 years. By purchasing a 3-year Compute Savings Plan with All Upfront payment in the management account, the company can benefit from additional discounts on any other compute usage across its member accounts.
The other options are not correct because:
Purchasing a 1-year Compute Savings Plan with No Upfront payment in each member account would not provide as much cost savings as purchasing a 3-year Compute Savings Plan with All Upfront payment in the management account. A 1-year term offers lower discounts than a 3-year term, and a No Upfront payment option offers lower discounts than an All Upfront payment option. Also, purchasing a Savings Plan in each member account would not allow the company to share the benefits of unused Savings Plan discounts across its organization.
Purchasing a 3-year EC2 Instance Savings Plan with No Upfront payment in the management account to cover EC2 costs in each AWS Region would not provide as much cost savings as purchasing Reserved Instances for an additional 3-year term with All Upfront payment. An EC2 Instance Savings Plan offers lower discounts than Reserved Instances for the same instance family and Region. Also, a No Upfront payment option offers lower discounts than an All Upfront payment option.
Purchasing a 3-year EC2 Instance Savings Plan with All Upfront payment in each member account would not provide as much flexibility or cost savings as purchasing a 3-year Compute Savings Plan with All Upfront payment in the management account. An EC2 Instance Savings Plan applies only to a specific instance family within a Region and does not cover Fargate or Lambda usage. Also, purchasing a Savings Plan in each member account would not allow the company to share the benefits of unused Savings Plan discounts across its organization.

Question 4

A company wants to replace its call system with a solution built using AWS managed services. The company call center would like the solution to receive calls, create contact flows, and scale to handle growth projections. The call center would also like the solution to use deep learning capabilities to recognize the intent of the callers and handle basic tasks, reducing the need to speak an agent. The solution should also be able to query business applications and provide relevant information back to calls as requested.
Which services should the Solution Architect use to build this solution? (Choose three.)

A.Amazon SQS to add incoming callers to a queue.
B.Amazon Lex to recognize the intent of the caller.
C.Amazon Rekognition to identity who is calling.
D.AWS Lambda to integrate with internal systems.
E.Amazon Connect to create a cloud-based contact center.
F.Amazon Alexa for Business to build conversational interface.

Question 5

A company is planning the migration of several lab environments used for software testing. An assortment of custom tooling is used to manage the test runs for each lab. The labs use immutable infrastructure for the software test runs, and the results are stored in a highly available SQL database cluster. Although completely rewriting the custom tooling is out of scope for the migration project, the company would like to optimize workloads during the migration.
Which application migration strategy meets this requirement?

A.Re-host
B.Retire
C.Re-factor/re-architect
D.Re-platform
