Question 6
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.)
Question 7
Your company has a logging microservice which is used to generate logs when users have entered certain commands in another application. This logging service is implemented via an SQS standard queue that an EC2 instance is listening to. However, you have found that on some occasions, the order of the logs are not maintained. As a result, it becomes harder to use this service to trace users' activities. How should you fix this issue in a simple way?
Question 8
A company is adding a new approved external vendor that only supports IPv6 connectivity. The company's backend systems sit in the private subnet of an Amazon VPC. The company uses a NAT gateway to allow these systems to communicate with external vendors over IPv4. Company policy requires systems that communicate with external vendors use a security group that limits access to only approved external vendors.
The virtual private cloud (VPC) uses the default network ACL.
The Systems Operator successfully assigns IPv6 addresses to each of the backend systems. The Systems Operator also updates the outbound security group to include the IPv6 CIDR of the external vendor (destination). The systems within the VPC are able to ping one another successfully over IPv6. However, these systems are unable to communicate with the external vendor.
What changes are required to enable communication with the external vendor?
Question 9
A solutions architect is redesigning a monolithic application to be a loosely coupled application composed of two microservices: Microservice A and Microservice B.
Microservice A places messages in a main Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue for Microservice B to consume. When Microservice B fails to process a message after four retries, the message needs to be removed from the queue and stored for further investigation.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
Question 10
An organization is setting up a highly scalable application using Elastic Beanstalk.
They are using Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) as well as a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with public and private subnets. They have the following requirements:
- All the EC2 instances should have a private IP
- All the EC2 instances should receive data via the ELB's.
Which of these will not be needed in this setup?
