Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 266 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02
Question #: 266
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 Questions]

A company has a live chat application running on its on-premises servers that use WebSockets. The company wants to migrate the application to AWS.
Application traffic is inconsistent, and the company expects there to be more traffic with sharp spikes in the future.
The company wants a highly scalable solution with no server maintenance nor advanced capacity planning.
Which solution meets these requirements?

  • A. Use Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda with an Amazon DynamoDB table as the data store. Configure the DynamoDB table for provisioned capacity.
  • B. Use Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda with an Amazon DynamoDB table as the data store. Configure the DynamoDB table for on-demand capacity.
  • C. Run Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer in an Auto Scaling group with an Amazon DynamoDB table as the data store. Configure the DynamoDB table for on-demand capacity.
  • D. Run Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer in an Auto Scaling group with an Amazon DynamoDB table as the data store. Configure the DynamoDB table for provisioned capacity.

Based on "Traffic to the application is uneven, and the firm anticipates more traffic with sudden spikes in the future", rule out A & C at first due to "on-demand" is need. In a WebSocket API, the client and the server can both send messages to each other at any time. Backend servers can easily push data to connected users and devices, avoiding the need to implement complex polling mechanisms. For example, you could build a serverless application using an API Gateway WebSocket API and AWS Lambda to send and receive messages to and from individual users or groups of users in a chat room. Or you could invoke backend services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, or an HTTP endpoint based on message content. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-overview-developer-experience.html#api-gateway-overview-websocket

B - correct; EC2 means maintenance; live chat means simple lambda, non-long running, DynamoDB just perfect.

Answer is B. Read this Historically, building WebSocket APIs required setting up fleets of hosts that were responsible for managing the persistent connections that underlie the WebSocket protocol. Now, with API Gateway, this is no longer necessary. API Gateway handles the connections between the client and service. It lets you build your business logic using HTTP-based backends such as AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, or any other HTTP endpoint. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/announcing-websocket-apis-in-amazon-api-gateway/

I would go for C. As for me Lambda is not a good solution for the application with websockets so A and B are out. Websockets its layer 7 so D is also out.

Uneven load->Dynamo DB in on-demand mode instead of provisioned(even with auto scaling) So A and D are out. minimal server maintenance->C is out Answer is B. NOTE: The newer generations of LB(ALB,NLB) support Websockets additional info-The newer generations of LB(ALB,NLB) support SNI
