Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 30 discussion

To serve Web traffic for a popular product your chief financial officer and IT director have purchased 10 m1.large heavy utilization Reserved Instances (RIs), evenly spread across two availability zones; Route 53 is used to deliver the traffic to an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). After several months, the product grows even more popular and you need additional capacity. As a result, your company purchases two C3.2xlarge medium utilization Ris. You register the two c3.2xlarge instances with your ELB and quickly find that the m1.large instances are at 100% of capacity and the c3.2xlarge instances have significant capacity that's unused.
Which option is the most cost effective and uses EC2 capacity most effectively?

  • A. Configure Autoscaling group and Launch Configuration with ELB to add up to 10 more on-demand m1.large instances when triggered by Cloudwatch. Shut off c3.2xlarge instances.
  • B. Configure ELB with two c3.2xlarge instances and use on-demand Autoscaling group for up to two additional c3.2xlarge instances. Shut off m1.large instances.
  • C. Route traffic to EC2 m1.large and c3.2xlarge instances directly using Route 53 latency based routing and health checks. Shut off ELB.
  • D. Use a separate ELB for each instance type and distribute load to ELBs with Route 53 weighted round robin.

Selected Answer: A
A - looks like the most viable option, though you need to give up RIs for c3.2xlarge instance (which is not cost effective, as you have to pay for it, unless there is an exception and Support cancel it at early stage.) It's also the most effective use of the EC2 capacity, as there is auto-scaling, meaning capacity meets the dynamic demand. Last but not least, if you check pricing calculator, c3 is way more expensive instances then m1.  B - No. Not scalable. Not cost effective to shut down RIs in havy utilization.C -  No. latency based routing is for multi region deployment where as here is just multi AZD - No. No point to buy one more ELB; weighted round robin policy is used for a different use case, e.g. associate multiple resources with a single domain name + software testing. We don't have this requirement. In addition to that, it's not the most effective use of the EC2 capacity, as there is no auto-scaling.

D. although not very cost effective with 2 ELBs but D solves the requirement with weighted R53 routing.

A, B if you have already purchase Reversed Instance (RIs) so if you shutdown either of them, you still lose the cost. C. It does not work well, as Route53 can't route to EC2 unless it has EIP because its IP will change when rebooted. You will need EIPs for all EC2s. So it is impossible solution. D make sense, the traffic for each instance was loaded-balance however the improper type between C2 and M1 cause the CPU on M1 meanwhile no load on C2. You need another ELB, one for C2 group and one for M1 group; then route the traffic 80% to C1 and 20% to C1 for example.

I think C is the correct answer. The question asks for the "most cost effective" option. Option C removes the ELB which is cheaper than option D which adds another ELB. Additionally, Option C utilizes Latency Based routing which ensures none of the four instances are overloaded.

R53 doesnt work that way, it is not a intra-regional load balancer. The closest it can get to inter regional load balancing is a multi-value response and then letting the client decide which IP to use

Plus as R53 is regional, latency records are also regional. All these servers are in the same region and any such latency record would apply to them all equally

Thank you. Latency-based routing only works If the application is hosted in multiple AWS Regions https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-policy.html#routing-policy-latency
