A bank is re-architecting its mainframe-based credit card approval processing application to a cloud-native application on the AWS cloud. The new application will receive up to 1,000 requests per second at peak load. There are multiple steps to each transaction, and each step must receive the result of the previous step. The entire request must return an authorization response within less than 2 seconds with zero data loss. Every request must receive a response. The solution must be Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)-compliant. Which option will meet all of the bank’s objectives with the LEAST complexity and LOWEST cost while also meeting compliance requirements?

A.
Create an Amazon API Gateway to process inbound requests using a single AWS Lambda task that performs multiple steps and returns a JSON object with the approval status. Open a support case to increase the limit for the number of concurrent Lambdas to allow room for bursts of activity due to the new application.

A company has an organization that has many AWS accounts in AWS Organizations. A solutions architect must improve how the company manages common security group rules for the AWS accounts in the organization. The company has a common set of IP CIDR ranges in an allow list in each AWS account to allow access to and from the company’s on-premises network. Developers within each account are responsible for adding new IP CIDR ranges to their security groups. The security team has its own AWS account. Currently, the security team notifies the owners of the other AWS accounts when changes are made to the allow list. The solutions architect must design a solution that distributes the common set of CIDR ranges across all accounts. Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?

A.
Set up an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic in the security team's AWS account. Deploy an AWS Lambda function in each AWS account. Configure the Lambda function to run every time an SNS topic receives a message.Configure the Lambda function to take an IP address as input and add it to a list of security groups in the account. Instruct the security team to distribute changes by publishing messages to its SNS topic.

Here are some of the things that you can build using fine-grained access control:

A mobile app that displays information for nearby airports, based on the user’s location. The app can access and display attributes such airline names, arrival times, and flight numbers. However, it cannot access or display pilot names or passenger counts.

A mobile game which stores high scores for all users in a single table. Each user can update their own scores, but has no access to the other ones. Reference: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/fine-grained-access-control-for-amazon- dynamodb/

Answers
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

A stack is a collection of AWS resources that you can manage as a single unit. In other words, you can create, update, or delete a collection of resources by creating, updating, or deleting stacks. All the resources in a stack are defined by the stack's AWS CloudFormation template. A stack, for instance, can include all the resources required to run a web application, such as a web server, a database, and networking rules. If you no longer require that web application, you can simply delete the stack, and all of its related resources are deleted. You are charged for the stack resources for the time they were operating (even if you deleted the stack right away).
