A solutions architect needs to assess a newly acquired company’s portfolio of applications and databases. The solutions architect must create a business case to migrate the portfolio to AWS. The newly acquired company runs applications in an on-premises data center. The data center is not well documented. The solutions architect cannot immediately determine how many applications and databases exist. Traffic for the applications is variable. Some applications are batch processes that run at the end of each month.
The solutions architect must gain a better understanding of the portfolio before a migration to AWS can begin.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
An online retail company hosts its stateful web-based application and MySQL database in an on-premises data center on a single server. The company wants to increase its customer base by conducting more marketing campaigns and promotions. In preparation, the company wants to migrate its application and database to AWS to increase the reliability of its architecture.
Which solution should provide the HIGHEST level of reliability?
A company wants to migrate its on-premises application to AWS. The database for the application stores structured product data and temporary user session data. The company needs to decouple the product data from the user session data. The company also needs to implement replication in another AWS Region for disaster recovery.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the HIGHEST performance?
An online survey company runs its application in the AWS Cloud. The application is distributed and consists of microservices that run in an automatically scaled Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster. The ECS cluster is a target for an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The ALB is a custom origin for an Amazon CloudFront distribution.
The company has a survey that contains sensitive data. The sensitive data must be encrypted when it moves through the application. The application's data-handling microservice is the only microservice that should be able to decrypt the data.

Question:
How should a companyefficiently processinfrequently uploaded S3 data using a long-running (up to 25 minutes) custom application?
Question:
A company is migrating a containerized Kubernetes app with manifest files to AWS. What is the easiest migration path?
A company runs its application on Amazon EC2 instances and AWS Lambda functions. The EC2 instances experience a continuous and stable load. The Lambda functions
experience a varied and unpredictable load. The application includes a caching layer that uses an Amazon MemoryDB for Redis cluster.
A solutions architect must recommend a solution to minimize the company's overall monthly costs.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company is migrating an on-premises application and a MySQL database to AWS. The application processes highly sensitive data, and new data is constantly updated in the database. The data must not be transferred over the internet. The company also must encrypt the data in transit and at rest.
The database is 5 TB in size. The company already has created the database schema in an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance. The company has set up a 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection to AWS. The company also has set up a public VIF and a private VIF. A solutions architect needs to design a solution that will migrate the data to AWS with the least possible downtime.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company hosts its primary API on AWS using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda functions. Internal applications and external customers use this API. Some customers also use a legacy API hosted on a standalone EC2 instance.
The company wants to increase security across all APIs to prevent denial of service (DoS) attacks, check for vulnerabilities, and guard against common exploits.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
A company has an application that uses Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. The quality assurance (QA) department needs to launch and test the application. The application environments are currently launched by the manager of the department using an AWS CloudFormation template. To launch the stack, the manager uses a role with permission to use CloudFormation, EC2, and Auto Scaling APIs. The manager wants to allow QA to launch environments, but does not want to grant broad permissions to each user.
Which set up would achieve these goals?
A company provides a software as a service (SaaS) application that runs in the AWS Cloud. The application runs on Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network LoadBalancer (NLB). The instances are in an Auto Scaling group and are distributed across three Availability Zones in a single AWS Region.
The company is deploying the application into additional Regions. The company must provide static IP addresses for the application to customers so that the customers can add the IP addresses to allow lists.
The solution must automatically route customers to the Region that is geographically closest to them.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company hosts a software as a service (SaaS) solution on AWS. The solution has an Amazon API Gateway API that serves an HTTPS endpoint. The API uses AWS Lambda functions for compute. The Lambda functions store data in an Amazon Aurora Serverless VI database.
The company used the AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) to deploy the solution. The solution extends across multiple Availability Zones and has nodisaster recovery (DR) plan.
A solutions architect must design a DR strategy that can recover the solution in another AWS Region. The solution has an R TO of 5 minutes and an RPO of 1 minute.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
A company hosts a data-processing application on Amazon EC2 instances. The application polls an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system for newly uploaded files. When a new file is detected, the application extracts data from the file and runs logic to select a Docker container image to process the file. The application starts the appropriate container image and passes the file location as a parameter.
The data processing that the container performs can take up to 2 hours. When the processing is complete, the code that runs inside the container writes the file back to Amazon EFS and exits.
The company needs to refactor the application to eliminate the EC2 instances that are running the containers
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A large company is migrating ils entire IT portfolio to AWS. Each business unit in the company has a standalone AWS account that supports both development and test environments. New accounts to support production workloads will be needed soon.
The finance department requires a centralized method for payment but must maintain visibility into each group's spending to allocate costs.
The security team requires a centralized mechanism to control 1AM usage in all the company's accounts.
What combination of the following options meet the company's needs with the LEAST effort? (Select TWO.)
A company is running a workload that consists of thousands of Amazon EC2 instances. The workload is running in a VPC that contains several public subnets and private subnets. The public subnets have a route for 0.0.0.0/0 to an existing internet gateway. The private subnets have a route for 0.0.0.0/0 to an existing NAT gateway.
A solutions architect needs to migrate the entire fleet of EC2 instances to use IPv6. The EC2 instances that are in private subnets must not be accessible from the public internet.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
