AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions and Answers

Question 1

A company has a project that is launching Amazon EC2 instances that are larger than required. The project's account cannot be part of the company's organization in AWS Organizations due to policy restrictions to keep this activity outside of corporate IT. The company wants to allow only the launch of t3.small

EC2 instances by developers in the project's account. These EC2 instances must be restricted to the us-east-2 Region.

What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

Question 4

A company is using an organization in AWS organization to manage AWS accounts. For each new project the company creates a new linked account. After the creation of a new account, the root user signs in to the new account and creates a service request to increase the service quota for Amazon EC2 instances. A solutions architect needs to automate this process.

Which solution will meet these requirements with tie LEAST operational overhead?

Options:

A.

Question 5

A company runs an ecommerce web application on AWS. The web application is hosted as a static website on Amazon S3 with Amazon CloudFront for content delivery. An Amazon API Gateway API invokes AWS Lambda functions to handle user requests and order processing for the web application. The Lambda functions store data in an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB cluster that uses On-Demand Instances. The DB cluster usage has been consistent in the past 12 months. Recently, the website has experienced SQL injection and web exploit attempts. Customers also report that order processing time has increased during periods of peak usage.
