Master AWS Certifications with Confidence

Which AWS service allows users to identify security weaknesses in their Amazon EC2 instances through preconfigured evaluation frameworks?

A company is preparing for a critical compliance audit and wants to ensure their AWS infrastructure aligns with industry standards. They require AWS expertise to review their architecture and mitigate compliance risks without incurring additional fees.

Which AWS Support plan provides access to infrastructure reviews and compliance guidance at no extra cost?

A company needs to replicate ongoing data changes from an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server database to Amazon RDS for SQL Server. The volume of data being replicated fluctuates significantly throughout the day. The company intends to use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) and wants the replication instance to automatically adjust its capacity based on the workload without manual intervention.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A company needs to archive its application logs in an S3 bucket for 5 years. The company uses AWS Organizations to manage multiple accounts, with the parent account centralizing logs into an S3 bucket. The bucket has S3 Versioning enabled. An S3 Lifecycle policy transitions current objects to S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval after 1 year and deletes them after 5 years. After six years, the bucket's storage metrics indicate continued growth, even though the rate of new log deliveries has remained constant. What is the MOST cost-effective solution to delete objects older than 5 years?

A company operates a mobile app for conducting short-term surveys on AWS. Each survey runs for a variable duration, and once completed, the company selects a random participant as the winner. The company does not need to retain any survey data after the survey ends.

The current architecture uses custom code hosted on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer, with survey responses stored in Amazon RDS MySQL instances. The company wants to redesign the architecture to minimize costs.

Which solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

A company hosts a web application on a single Amazon EC2 instance. Users report increased latency during peak traffic periods, with CPU utilization consistently exceeding 90%. A user data script installs specialized software packages during instance launch, which delays the process by several minutes. The company is configuring an Auto Scaling group with mixed instance types, diverse memory configurations, and a fixed maximum capacity. The Auto Scaling group uses a launch template for instance configuration. The company needs to minimize application latency when new instances are provisioned during scaling events. Which solution addresses these requirements?

A company is launching a video processing application on AWS. Users upload videos to an Amazon S3 bucket, and an AWS Lambda function converts the videos into multiple formats, storing the outputs in another S3 bucket. During testing, the developer observes that the Lambda function takes over 5 minutes to process each video. The application requires all videos to be processed in under 1 minute.

What should the developer do to meet these requirements?

A developer's application uses AWS Lambda to process messages asynchronously. The developer needs to ensure that any messages which fail processing after all retry attempts are stored securely, allowing the application to reprocess them later with minimal operational effort.

Which solution achieves this goal most effectively?
