Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 422 discussion

A solutions architect plans to convert a company's monolithic web application into a multi-tier application. The company wants to avoid managing its own infrastructure. The minimum requirements for the web application are high availability, scalability, and regional low latency during peak hours. The solution should also store and retrieve data with millisecond latency using the application's API.
Which solution meets these requirements?

  • A. Use AWS Fargate to host the web application with backend Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB instances.
  • B. Use Amazon API Gateway with an edge-optimized API endpoint, AWS Lambda for compute, and Amazon DynamoDB as the data store.
  • C. Use an Amazon Route 53 routing policy with geolocation that points to an Amazon S3 bucket with static website hosting and Amazon DynamoDB as the data store.
  • D. Use an Amazon CloudFront distribution that points to an Elastic Load Balancer with an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group, along with Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB instances.

The requirements : high availability, scalability- API Gateway and Lambda regional low latency during peak hours - Edge optimised API can achieve this The solution should also store and retrieve data with millisecond latency using the application - DynamoDB So ... B satisfies everything.

But DynamoDB is for no-sql right? If it is company's monolithic application chances are less it is modern no-sql so RDS should be the option. A sounds about right here

I am not sure about B. Even though B is serverless. Where will be the web application hosted? API Gateway, Lambda and Dynamo DB are unable to host a web application.

API gateway has http server, so B is also my pick.

I think AWS Lambda for compute AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, creating workload-aware cluster scaling logic, maintaining event integrations, or managing runtimes. With Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service - all with zero administration. Just upload your code as a ZIP file or container image, and Lambda automatically and precisely allocates compute execution power and runs your code based on the incoming request or event, for any scale of traffic.

Hii, Passed the exam today- online from home. thanks examtopics, thanks everyone for your contribution. 90% of the q from here. read the discussions of each questions. I remember two new questions: one about backup centralization plan https://aws.amazon.com/backup/?whats-new-cards.sort-by=item.additionalFields.postDateTime&whats-new-cards.sort-order=desc the other about denies access based on resourced region. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_policies_examples_aws_deny-requested-region.html

there is other new question about single point of failure. structure consist of two vpcs. vpc peering between them. the first linked with two direct connect to outside the second with single vpn two one application in on-prim. the solution I think is two add vpn. remember that vpc peering doesn't have single point of failure.

Is this the question ? - A company has 2 VPCs named Management and Production. The Mgt VPC uses VPNs through customer gateway to connect to a single device in the data center. The Prod VPC uses VPG with two attached AWS direct connect connections. The Mgt and Prod VPCs both use a single VPC steering connection to allow communication between applications. What should a solution architect do to mitigate any single point of failure in this architecture ? 1. Add a set of VPNs between Mgt and Prod VPCs 2. Add a second virtual private gateway and attach it to Mgt VPC 3. Add a second set of VPNs to Mgt VPC from second customer gateway device 4. Add a second VPC peering connection between the Mgt VPC and Prod VPC

Selected Answer: D
A: fargate (web dynamic/compute) + rds multi (Data), fargate needs an ALB to connect B: API GW(proxy) + lambda (compute) + dynamo (data), missing a web server, since you are billed per running time, you dont want to host a web in a lambda C: R53 (routing) + S3 (web static) + dynamo (data), Compute/web dynamic is missing, you need compute to write to dynamo (lambda, ec2,ecs,etc) D: CF (regional) + EC2 (web server/compute) + RDS multiAZ(Data) i dont like it but D is the only complete option... maybe fargate if we assume you already have an album

There is another word “regional” low latency. So B has this clue - “edge optimised” C has route 53 but says static website - not correct D- has Cloud front - but has EC2 as well, which requires management So C and D ruled out. A does not have anything related to “regional” or edge related low latency options. So A is ruled out.

You can host the website in Lambda for compute, you can have whole application and backend services running here. Website will be easily run.

my take is differentiating factor is DB. millisecond latency DynamoDB or Fargate would have been ideal too but with RDS in this question is doubtful
