Amazon SAA-C03 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 48

This answer is correct because it meets the requirements of running the ML models as independent microservices that can handle irregular and unpredictable usage patterns. By directing the requests from the API into an Amazon SQS queue, the company can decouple the request processing from the model execution, and ensure that no requests are lost due to spikes in demand. By deploying the models as Amazon ECS services that read from the queue, the company can leverage containers to isolate and package each model as a microservice, and fetch the model data from S3 at startup. By enabling AWS Auto Scaling on Amazon ECS for both the cluster and copies of the service based on the queue size, the company can automatically scale up or down the number of EC2 instances in the cluster and the number of tasks in each service to match the demand and optimize performance.

This answer is correct because it meets the requirements of blocking the illegitimate incoming requests in a way that has a minimal impact on legitimate users. AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect your web applications or APIs against common web exploits that may affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. AWS WAF gives you control over how traffic reaches your applications by enabling you to create security rules that block common attack patterns, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting, and rules that filter out specific traffic patterns you define. You can associate AWS WAF with an ALB to protect the web application from malicious requests. You can configure a rate-limiting rule in AWS WAF to track the rate of requests for each originating IP address and block requests from an IP address that exceeds a certain limit within a five-minute period. This way, you can mitigate potential DDoS attacks and improve the performance of your website.

These answers are correct because they meet the requirements of converting the .csv files into images, making them available as soon as possible, and minimizing the storage costs. AWS Lambda is a service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You can use AWS Lambda to design a function that converts the .csv files into images and stores the images in the S3 bucket. You can invoke the Lambda function when a .csv file is uploaded to the S3 bucket by using an S3 event notification. This way, you can ensure that the images are generated and made available as soon as possible for the graphical reports. S3 Lifecycle is a feature that enables you to manage your objects so that they are stored cost effectively throughout their lifecycle. You can create S3 Lifecycle rules for .csv files and image files in the S3 bucket to transition them to different storage classes or expire them based on your business needs. You can transition the .csv files from S3 Standard to S3 Glacier 1 day after they are uploaded, since they are only needed twice a year for ML trainings and audits that are planned weeks in advance. S3 Glacier is a storage class for data archiving that offers secure, durable, and extremely low-cost storage with retrieval times ranging from minutes to hours. You can expire the image files after 30 days, since they become irrelevant after 1 month.

These answers are correct because they meet the requirements of creating a new DB instance from the most recent backup and using a MySQL-compatible edition of Amazon Aurora to host the DB instance. You can import the RDS snapshot directly into Aurora if the MySQL DB instance and the Aurora DB cluster are running the same version of MySQL. For example, you can restore a MySQL version 5.6 snapshot directly to Aurora MySQL version 5.6, but you can't restore a MySQL version 5.6 snapshot directly to Aurora MySQL version 5.7. This method is simple and requires the fewest number of steps. You can upload the database dump to Amazon S3 and then import the database dump into Aurora if the MySQL DB instance and the Aurora DB cluster are running different versions of MySQL. For example, you can import a MySQL version 5.6 database dump into Aurora MySQL version 5.7, but you can't restore a MySQL version 5.6 snapshot directly to Aurora MySQL version 5.7. This method is more flexible and allows you to migrate across different versions of MySQL.

This answer is correct because it meets the requirements of moving the data efficiently and without disruption, and still being able to access and update the data during the transfer window. AWS DataSync is an online data movement and discovery service that simplifies and accelerates data migrations to AWS and helps you move data quickly and securely between on-premises storage, edge locations, other clouds, and AWS Storage. You can create an AWS DataSync agent in the corporate data center to connect your NAS system to AWS over the Direct Connect connection. You can create a data transfer task to specify the source location, destination location, and options for transferring the data. You can start the transfer to an Amazon S3 bucket and monitor the progress of the task. DataSync automatically encrypts data in transit and verifies data integrity during transfer. DataSync also supports incremental transfers, which means that only files that have changed since the last transfer are copied. This way, you can ensure that your data is synchronized between your NAS system and S3 bucket, and you can access and update the data during the transfer window.

This answer is correct because it meets the requirements of accommodating the larger workload without adding infrastructure and minimizing the cost. Reserved DB instances are a billing discount applied to the use of certain on-demand DB instances in your account. Reserved DB instances provide you with a significant discount compared to on-demand DB instance pricing. You can buy reserved DB instances for the total workload and choose between three payment options: No Upfront, Partial Upfront, or All Upfront. You can make the Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance larger by modifying its instance type to a higher performance class. This way, you can increase the CPU, memory, and network capacity of your DB instance and handle the increased workload.

This answer is correct because it meets the requirements of optimizing cost and reducing the workload on the database. Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .js, and image files, to your users. CloudFront delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. When a user requests content that you're serving with CloudFront, the request is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency (time delay), so that content is delivered with the best possible performance. You can create an Amazon CloudFront distribution to host the static web contents from an Amazon S3 bucket, which is an origin that you define for CloudFront. This way, you can offload the requests for static web content from your EC2 instances to CloudFront, which can improve the performance and availability of your website, and reduce the cost of running your EC2 instances.
