An ecommerce company is migrating its on-premises workload to the AWS Cloud. The workload currently consists of a web application and a backend Microsoft SQL database for storage.

The company expects a high volume of customers during a promotional event. The new infrastructure in the AWS Cloud must be highly available and scalable.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative overhead?

A.

Migrate the web application to two Amazon EC2 instances across two Availability Zones behind an Application Load Balancer. Migrate the database to Amazon RDS for Microsoft SQL Server with read replicas in both Availability Zones.

D.

Migrate the web application to three Amazon EC2 instances across three Availability Zones behind an Application Load Balancer. Migrate the database to three EC2 instances across three Availability Zones.

Answers
D.

Migrate the web application to three Amazon EC2 instances across three Availability Zones behind an Application Load Balancer. Migrate the database to three EC2 instances across three Availability Zones.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

To ensure high availability and scalability, the web application should run in an Auto Scaling group across two Availability Zones behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The database should be migrated to Amazon RDS with Multi-AZ deployment, which ensures fault tolerance and automatic failover in case of an AZ failure. This setup minimizes administrative overhead while meeting the company's requirements for high availability and scalability.

Option A: Read replicas are typically used for scaling read operations, and Multi-AZ provides better availability for a transactional database.

Option B: Replicating across AWS Regions adds unnecessary complexity for a single web application.

Option D: EC2 instances across three Availability Zones add unnecessary complexity for this scenario.
