Question 1
A company collects temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure data in cities across multiple continents.
The average volume of data collected per site each day is 500 GB. Each site has a high-speed internet connection. The company's weather forecasting applications are based in a single Region and analyze the data daily.
What is the FASTEST way to aggregate data for all of these global sites?
Question 2
A company maintains a searchable repository of items on its website. The data is stored in an Amazon RDS for MySQL database table that contains more than 10 million rows The database has 2 TB of General Purpose SSD storage There are millions of updates against this data every day through the company's website The company has noticed that some insert operations are taking 10 seconds or longer The company has determined that the database storage performance is the problem Which solution addresses this performance issue?
Question 3
A solutions architect is using Amazon S3 to design the storage architecture of a new digital media application. The media files must be resilient to the loss of an Availability Zone Some files are accessed frequently while other files are rarely accessed in an unpredictable pattern. The solutions architect must minimize the costs of storing and retrieving the media files.
Which storage option meets these requirements?
Question 4
A company manages a data lake in an Amazon S3 bucket that numerous applications share The S3 bucket contains unique folders with a prefix for each application The company wants to restrict each application to its specific folder and have granular control of the objects in each folder Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
Question 5
A company hosts a multi-tier web application on Amazon Linux Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer The instances run in an Auto Scaling group across multiple Availability Zones The company observes that the Auto Scaling group launches more On-Demand Instances when the application's end users access high volumes of static web content The company wants to optimize cost What should a solutions architect do to redesign the application MOST cost-effectively?
