Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 139 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02
Question #: 139
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

A company runs a content management application on a single Windows Amazon EC2 instance in a development environment. The application reads and writes static content to a 2 TB Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume that is attached to the instance as the root device. The company plans to deploy this application in production as a highly available and fault-tolerant solution that runs on at least three EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones.

A solutions architect must design a solution that joins all the instances that run the application to an Active Directory domain. The solution also must implement Windows ACLs to control access to file contents. The application always must maintain exactly the same content on all running instances at any given point in time.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST management overhead?

  • A. Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file share. Create an Auto Scaling group that extends across three Availability Zones and maintains a minimum size of three instances. Implement a user data script to install the application, join the instance to the AD domain, and mount the EFS file share.
  • B. Create a new AMI from the current EC2 Instance that is running. Create an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system. Create an Auto Scaling group that extends across three Availability Zones and maintains a minimum size of three instances. Implement a user data script to join the instance to the AD domain and mount the FSx for Lustre file system.
  • C. Create an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system. Create an Auto Scaling group that extends across three Availability Zones and maintains a minimum size of three instances. Implement a user data script to install the application and mount the FSx for Windows File Server file system. Perform a seamless domain join to join the instance to the AD domain.
  • D. Create a new AMI from the current EC2 instance that is running. Create an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system. Create an Auto Scaling group that extends across three Availability Zones and maintains a minimum size of three Instances. Perform a seamless domain join to join the instance to the AD domain.

EFS is Linux/Mac based, So, A,D are out. Lustre stands for Linux cluster, So B is out. Left is C which is correct (Amazon FSx for Windows )

Amazon FSx is built on Windows Server... Access Control Lists (ACLs)... To control user access, Amazon FSx integrates with your on-premises Microsoft Active Directory as well as with AWS Microsoft Managed AD. https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/windows/features/?nc=sn&loc=2 All others don't work - forget about the "least management" statement - it says "implement Windows ACLS to control..." all others are thrown out.

Selected Answer: C
Option D suggests using an EFS file system, which is a shared file system that can be mounted on multiple EC2 instances, but this requires additional configuration to keep the content in sync across all instances. Option C is the optimal choice because Amazon FSx for Windows File Server supports Windows ACLs and seamlessly integrates with Active Directory to join instances to a domain. This option minimizes management overhead by reducing the complexity of managing multiple EFS file shares or writing scripts to synchronize content across EC2 instances.
