An organization has two Amazon EC2 instances:
The first is running an ordering application and an inventory application. The second is running a queuing system. During certain times of the year, several thousand orders are placed per second. Some orders were lost when the queuing system was down. Also, the organization’s inventory application has the incorrect quantity of products because some orders were processed twice.
What should be done to ensure that the applications can handle the increasing number of orders?
While debugging a backend application for an IoT system that supports globally distributed devices, a Solutions Architect notices that stale data is occasionally being sent to user devices. Devices often share data, and stale data does not cause issues in most cases. However, device operations are disrupted when a device reads the stale data after an update.
The global system has multiple identical application stacks deployed in different AWS Regions. If a user device travels out of its home geographic region, it will always connect to the geographically closest AWS Region to write or read data.
The same data is available in all supported AWS Regions using an Amazon DynamoDB global table.
What change should be made to avoid causing disruptions in device operations?
You are migrating a legacy client-server application to AWS. The application responds to a specific DNS domain (e.g. www.example.com) and has a 2-tier architecture, with multiple application servers and a database server. Remote clients use TCP to connect to the application servers. The application servers need to know the IP address of the clients in order to function properly and are currently taking that information from the TCP socket. A Multi-AZ RDS MySQL instance will be used for the database. During the migration you can change the application code, but you have to file a change request. How would you implement the architecture on AWS in order to maximize scalability and high availability?
A 3-tier e-commerce web application is current deployed on-premises and will be migrated to AWS for greater scalability and elasticity. The web server currently shares read-only data using a network distributed file system. The app server tier uses a clustering mechanism for discovery and shared session state that depends on IP multicast. The database tier uses sharedstorage clustering to provide database fall over capability, and uses several read slaves for scaling. Data on all servers and the distributed file system directory is backed up weekly to off-site tapes.
Which AWS storage and database architecture meets the requirements of the application?
A mobile gaming application publishes data continuously to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. An AWS Lambda function processes records from the data stream and writes to an Amazon DynamoDB table. The DynamoDB table has an auto scaling policy enabled with the target utilization set to 70%.
For several minutes at the start and end of each day, there is a spike in traffic that often exceeds five times the normal load. The company notices the GetRecords.IteratorAgeMilliseconds metric of the Kinesis data stream temporarily spikes to over a minute for several minutes. The AWS Lambda function writes ProvisionedThroughputExceededException messages to Amazon CloudWatch Logs during these times, and some records are redirected to the dead letter queue. No exceptions are thrown by the Kinesis producer on the gaming application. What change should the company make to resolve this issue?
Your company previously configured a heavily used, dynamically routed VPN connection between your on-premises data center and AWS. You recently provisioned a DirectConnect connection and would like to start using the new connection.
After configuring DirectConnect settings in the AWS Console, which of the following options win provide the most seamless transition for your users?
A retail company processes point-of-sale data on application servers in its data center and writes outputs to an Amazon DynamoDB table. The data center is connected to the company’s VPC with an AWS Direct Connect (DX) connection, and the application servers require a consistent network connection at speeds greater than 2 Gbps.
The company decides that the DynamoDB table needs to be highly available and fault tolerant. The company policy states that the data should be available across two regions. What changes should the company make to meet these requirements?
A user is trying to understand the detailed CloudWatch monitoring concept. Which of the below mentioned services does not provide detailed monitoring with CloudWatch?
A company runs a legacy system on a single m4.2xlarge Amazon EC2 instance with Amazon EBS storage. The EC2 instance runs both the web server and a self-managed Oracle database. A snapshot is made of the EBS volume every 12 hours, and an AMI was created from the fully configured EC2 instance.
A recent event that terminated the EC2 instance led to several hours of downtime. The application was successfully launched from the AMI, but the age of the EBS snapshot and the repair of the database resulted in the loss of 8 hours of data. The system was also down for 4 hours while the Systems Operators manually performed these processes. What architectural changes will minimize downtime and reduce the chance of lost data?
Someone has recommended a new client to you and you know he is into online gaming and you are almost certain he will want to set up an online gaming site which will require a database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability.
Which of the following AWS databases would be best suited to an online gaming site?
