Question 1: Your website TriangleSunglasses.com is hosted on a fleet of EC2 instances managed by an Auto Scaling Group and fronted by an Application Load Balancer. Your ASG has been configured to scale on-demand based on the traffic going to your website. To reduce costs, you have configured the ASG to scale based on the traffic going through the ALB. To make the solution highly available, you have updated your ASG and set the minimum capacity to 2. How can you further reduce the costs while respecting the requirements?

Remove the ALB and use an Elastic IP insteadReserve two EC2 instancesReduce the minimum capacity to 1Reduce the minimum capacity to 0

Question 2: Which of the following will NOT help us while designing a STATELESS application tier?

Store session data in Amazon RDSStore session data in Amazon ElastiCacheStore session data in the client HTTP cookiesStore session data on EBS volumes

Question 3: You want to install software updates on 100s of Linux EC2 instances that you manage. You want to store these updates on shared storage which should be dynamically loaded on the EC2 instances and shouldn't require heavy operations. What do you suggest?

Store the software updates on EBS and sync them using data replication software from one master in each AZStore the software updates on EFS and mount EFS as a network drive at startupPackage the software updates as an EBS snapshot and create EBS volumes for each new software updateStore the software updates on Amazon RDS

Question 4: As a Solutions Architect, you're planning to migrate a complex ERP software suite to AWS Cloud. You're planning to host the software on a set of Linux EC2 instances managed by an Auto Scaling Group. The software traditionally takes over an hour to set up on a Linux machine. How do you recommend you speed up the installation process when there's a scale-out event?

Use a Golden AMIBootstrap using EC2 User DataStore the application in Amazon RDSRetrieve the application setup files from EFS

Question 5: You're developing an application and would like to deploy it to Elastic Beanstalk with minimal cost. You should run it in ..................

Single Instance ModeHigh Availability Mode

Question 6: You're deploying your application to an Elastic Beanstalk environment but you notice that the deployment process is painfully slow. After reviewing the logs, you found that your dependencies are resolved on each EC2 instance each time you deploy. How can you speed up the deployment process with minimal impact?

Remove some dependencies in your codePlace the dependencies in Amazon EFSCreate a Golden AMI that contains the dependencies and use that image to launch the EC2 instances
