Question 13

A company is currently in the design phase of an application that will need an RPO of less than 5 minutes and an RTO of less than 10 minutes. The solutions architecture team is forecasting that the database will store approximately 10 TB of data. As part of the design, they are looking for a database solution that will provide the company with the ability to fail over to a secondary Region.

Which solution will meet these business requirements at the LOWEST cost?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    Deploy an Amazon Aurora DB cluster and take snapshots of the cluster every 5 minutes. Once a snapshot is complete, copy the snapshot to a secondary Region to serve as a backup in the event of a failure.
  • ○

    Deploy an Amazon RDS instance with a cross-Region read replica in a secondary Region. In the event of a failure, promote the read replica to become the primary.
  • ○

    Deploy an Amazon Aurora DB cluster in the primary Region and another in a secondary Region. Use AWS DMS to keep the secondary Region in sync.
  • ○

    Deploy an Amazon RDS instance with a read replica in the same Region. In the event of a failure, promote the read replica to become the primary.
Question 14

A software company is using three AWS accounts for each of its 10 development teams. The company has developed an AWS CloudFormation standard VPC template that includes three NAT gateways. The template is added to each account for each team. The company is concerned that network costs will increase each time a new development team is added. A solutions architect must maintain the reliability of the company’s solutions and minimize operational complexity.

What should the solutions architect do to reduce the network costs while meeting these requirements?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    Create a single VPC with three NAT gateways in a shared services account. Configure each account VPC with a default route through a transit gateway to the NAT gateway in the shared services account VPC. Remove all NAT gateways from the standard VPC template.
  • ○

    Create a single VPC with three NAT gateways in a shared services account. Configure each account VPC with a default route through a VPC peering connection to the NAT gateway in the shared services account VPC. Remove all NAT gateways from the standard VPC template.
  • ○

    Remove two NAT gateways from the standard VPC template. Rely on the NAT gateway SLA to cover reliability for the remaining NAT gateway.
  • ○

    Create a single VPC with three NAT gateways in a shared services account. Configure a Site-to-Site VPN connection from each account to the shared services account. Remove all NAT gateways from the standard VPC template.
Question 15

A company with global offices has a single 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection to a single AWS Region. The company’s on-premises network uses the connection to communicate with the company’s resources in the AWS Cloud. The connection has a single private virtual interface that connects to a single VPC.

A solutions architect must implement a solution that adds a redundant Direct Connect connection in the same Region. The solution also must provide connectivity to other Regions through the same pair of Direct Connect connections as the company expands into other Regions.

Which solution meets these requirements?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    Provision a Direct Connect gateway. Delete the existing private virtual interface from the existing connection. Create the second Direct Connect connection. Create a new private virtual interface on each connection, and connect both private virtual interfaces to the Direct Connect gateway. Connect the Direct Connect gateway to the single VPC.
  • ○

    Keep the existing private virtual interface. Create the second Direct Connect connection. Create a new private virtual interface on the new connection, and connect the new private virtual interface to the single VPC.
  • ○

    Keep the existing private virtual interface. Create the second Direct Connect connection. Create a new public virtual interface on the new connection and connect the new public virtual interface to the single VPC.
  • ○

    Provision a transit gateway. Delete the existing private virtual interface from the existing connection. Create the second Direct Connect connection. Create a new private virtual interface on each connection, and connect both private virtual interfaces to the transit gateway. Associate the transit gateway with the single VPC.
