A solutions architect must create a highly available bastion host architecture. The solution needs to be resilient within a single AWS Region and should require only minimal effort to maintain.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

• A.Create a Network Load Balancer backed by a Spot Fleet with instances in a partition placement group.
• B.Create a Network Load Balancer backed by the existing servers in different Availability Zones as the target.
• C.Create a Network Load Balancer backed by an Auto Scaling group with a UDP listener.
• D.Create a Network Load Balancer backed by an Auto Scaling group with instances in multiple Availability Zones as the target

A company hosts its website on AWS. To address the highly variable demand, the company has implemented Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling. Management is concerned that the company is over-provisioning its infrastructure, especially at the front end of the three-tier application. A solutions architect needs to ensure costs are optimized without impacting performance.
What should the solutions architect do to accomplish this?

• A.Use Auto Scaling with a target tracking scaling policy.
• B.Use Auto Scaling with Reserved Instances.
• C.Use Auto Scaling with a scheduled scaling policy.
• D.Use Auto Scaling with the suspend-resume feature

A company's web application is using multiple Linux Amazon EC2 instances and storing data on Amazon EBS volumes. The company is looking for a solution to increase the resiliency of the application in case of a failure and to provide storage that complies with atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID).
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

• A.Launch the application on EC2 instances in each Availability Zone. Attach EBS volumes to each EC2 instance.
• B.Create an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling groups across multiple Availability Zones Mount an instance store on each EC2 instance
• C.Create an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling groups across multiple Availability Zones.
  Store data on Amazon EFS and mount a target on each instance.
• D.Create an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling groups across multiple Availability Zones Store data using Amazon S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)

Correct Answer: C

Explanation
How Amazon EFS Works with Amazon EC2
The following illustration shows an example VPC accessing an Amazon EFS file system. Here, EC2 instances in the VPC have file systems mounted.
In this illustration, the VPC has three Availability Zones, and each has one mount target created in it. We recommend that you access the file system from a mount target within the same Availability Zone. One of the Availability Zones has two subnets. However, a mount target is created in only one of the subnets.

Benefits of Auto Scaling
Better fault tolerance. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can detect when an instance is unhealthy, terminate it, and launch an instance to replace it. You can also configure Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to use multiple Availability Zones. If one Availability Zone becomes unavailable, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can launch instances in another one to compensate.
Better availability. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling helps ensure that your application always has the right amount of capacity to handle the current traffic demand.
Better cost management. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can dynamically increase and decrease capacity as needed. Because you pay for the EC2 instances you use, you save money by launching instances when they are needed and terminating them when they aren't.
