Amazon SAP-C01 Exam Questions & Answers

You would like to create a mirror image of your production environment in another region for disaster recovery purposes.

Which of the following AWS resources do not need to be recreated in the second region? (Choose two.)

A. Route 53 Record Sets

B. IAM Roles

C. Elastic IP Addresses (EIP)

D. EC2 Key Pairs

E. Launch configurations

F. Security Groups

A company is running several large workloads on Amazon EC2 instances. Each EC2 instance has multiple Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes attached to it. Once each day, an AWS Lambda function invokes the creation of EBS volume snapshots. These snapshots accumulate until an administrator manually purges them.

The company must maintain backups for a minimum of 30 days. A solutions architect needs to reduce the costs of this process.

Which solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

A. Search AWS Marketplace. Find a third-party solution to deploy to automatically manage the EBS volume backups.

B. Create a second Lambda function to move the EBS snapshots that are older than 30 days to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive.

C. Set an Amazon S3 Lifecycle policy on the $3 bucket that contains the snapshots. Create a rule with an expiration action to delete EBS snapshots that are older than 30 days.

D. Migrate the backup functionality to Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM). Create a lifecycle policy for the daily backup of the EBS volumes. Set the retention period for the EBS snapshots to 30 days.

A mobile app has become very popular, and usage has gone from a few hundred to millions of users. Users capture and upload images of activities within a city, and provide ratings and recommendations. Data access patterns are unpredictable. The current application is hosted on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application is experiencing slowdowns and costs are growing rapidly.

Which changes should a solutions architect make to the application architecture to control costs and improve performance?

A. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution and place the ALB behind the distribution. Store static content in Amazon S3 in an Infrequent Access storage class.

B. Store static content in an Amazon S3 bucket using the Intelligent Tiering storage class. Use an Amazon CloudFront distribution in front of the S3 bucket and the ALB.

C. Place AWS Global Accelerator in front of the ALB. Migrate the static content to Amazon EFS, and then run an AWS Lambda function to resize the images during the migration process.

D. Move the application code to AWS Fargate containers and swap out the EC2 instances with the Fargate containers.
