Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company has a nightly batch processing routine that analyzes report files that an on-premises file system receives daily through SFTP. The company wants to move the solution to the AWS Cloud. The solution must be highly available and resilient. The solution also must minimize operational effort.

Which solution meets these requirements?

A. Deploy AWS Transfer for SFTP and an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system for storage. Use an Amazon EC2 instance in an Auto Scaling group with a scheduled scaling policy to run the batch operation.
B. Deploy an Amazon EC2 instance that runs Linux and an SFTP service. Use an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume for storage. Use an Auto Scaling group with the minimum number of instances and desired number of instances set to 1.
C. Deploy an Amazon EC2 instance that runs Linux and an SFTP service. Use an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system for storage. Use an Auto Scaling group with the minimum number of instances and desired number of instances set to 1.
D. Deploy AWS Transfer for SFTP and an Amazon S3 bucket for storage. Modify the application to pull the batch files from Amazon S3 to an Amazon EC2 instance for processing. Use an EC2 instance in an Auto Scaling group with a scheduled scaling policy to run the batch operation.

Selected Answer: A

The Answer should be A not D because ... Modify the application to pull the batch files from Amazon S3 to an Amazon EC2 instance for processing.--Why we need to do this when we can move the file directly to EFS in EC2 system AWS Transfer Family now also supports file transfers to Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file systems as well as Amazon S3.

Selected Answer: A

A should be enough. EFS can be mounted to ASG directly, and there is no need to use S3 in the middle.

A and D both work , but EFS is more natural file system for original batch routing, and could be faster than S3

Selected Answer: A

"... an on-premises file system receives" = file system > EFS. SFT in AWS = AWS Transfer family Even though D works, that would require changes in the current architecture.

Selected Answer: A

The service is designed to be highly scalable, highly available, and highly durable. Amazon EFS offers the following file system types to meet your availability and durability needs ->https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/whatisefs.html Amazon S3 achieves high availability by replicating data across multiple servers within AWS data centers->https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/Welcome.html

But option A doesn't address the need for the application to pull the batch jobs from the new storage, also is the use of EFS needed here? In terms of it being a shared storage and whatnot..
