1. A company runs an application on a group of Amazon Linux EC2 instances. The application writes log files using standard API calls. For compliance reasons, all log files must be retained indefinitely and will be analyzed by a reporting tool that must access all files concurrently.Which storage service should a solutions architect use to provide the MOST cost-effective solution?

A) Amazon S3
B) Amazon EC2 instance store
C) Amazon EBS
D) Amazon EFS



2. A company wants to deploy a shared file system for its .Net application servers and Microsoft SQL Server databases running on Amazon EC2 instances with Windows Server 2016. The solution corporate Active Directory domain, be highly durable, be managed by AWS, and provide high level of throughput and IOPS.Which solution meets these requirements?

A) Use Amazon FSx for Windows File Server.
B) Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
C) Use AWS Storage Gateway in file Gateway mode
D) Deploy a Windows file server on two On Demand instances across two Availability Zones



3. A solutions architect is designing a mission-critical web application. It will consist of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer and a relational database. The database should be highly availability and fault tolerant.Which database implementations will meet these requirements? Select two(Select 2answers)

A) Amazon RDS for SQL Server Standard Edition Multi-AZ
B) MySQL-compatible Amazon Aurora Multi-AZ
C) Amazon DynamoDB
D) Amazon Redshift
E) Amazon RDS for MySQL


4. A company uses Amazon S3 as its object storage solution. The company has thousands of S3 buckets it uses to storage data. Some of the S3 buckets have data that is accessed less frequently than others. A solution architect found that lifecycle policies are not consistently implemented or are implemented partially, resulting in data being stored in high-cost storage.Which solution will lower costs without compromising the availability of objects?

A) use S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)
B) Use S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage
C) Use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) automated snapshots
D) Use S3 ACLs



5. A company has a custom application running on an Amazon EC2 instance that:- Reads a large amount of data from Amazon S3.- Performs a multi-stage analysis.- Writes the results to Amazon DynamoDBThe application writes a significant number of large, temporary files during the multi-stage analysis. The process performance depends on the temporary storage performance.What would be the fastest storage option for holding the temporary files?

A) Multiple Amazon EBS drives with Provisioned IOPS and EBS optimization
B) Multiple instance store volumes with software RAID 0
C) Multiple Amazon EFS volumes using the Network File System version 4.1 protocol
D) Multiple Amazon S3 buckets with Transfer Acceleration for storage
