A solutions architect is reviewing a company ' s process for taking snapshots of Amazon RDS DB instances. The company takes automatic snapshots every day and retains the snapshots for 7 days.

The solutions architect needs to recommend a solution that takes snapshots every 6 hours and retains the snapshots for 30 days. The company uses AWS Organizations to manage all of its AWS accounts. The company needs a consolidated view of the health of the RDS snapshots.

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

A.

Turn on the cross-account management feature in AWS Backup. Create a backup plan that specifies the frequency and retention requirements. Add a tag to the DB instances. Apply the backup plan by using tags. Use AWS Backup to monitor the status of the backups.

B.

Turn on the cross-account management feature in Amazon RDS. Create a snapshot global policy that specifies the frequency and retention requirements. Use the RDS console in the management account to monitor the status of the backups.

C.

Turn on the cross-account management feature in AWS CloudFormation. From the management account, deploy a CloudFormation stack set that contains a backup plan from AWS Backup that specifies the frequency and retention requirements. Create an AWS Lambda function in the management account tomonitor the status of the backups. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule in each account to run the Lambda function on a schedule.

D.

Configure AWS Backup in each account. Create an Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager lifecycle policy that specifies the frequency and retention requirements. Specify the DB instances as the target resource. Use the Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager console in each member account to monitor the status of the backups.

A company has a web application that securely uploads pictures and videos to an Amazon S3 bucket. The company requires that only authenticated users are allowed to post content. The application generates a presigned URL that is used to upload objects through a browser interface. Most users are reporting slow upload times for objects larger than 100 MB.

What can a Solutions Architect do to improve the performance of these uploads while ensuring only authenticated users are allowed to post content?

A.

Set up an Amazon API Gateway with an edge-optimized API endpoint that has a resource as an S3 service proxy. Configure the PUT method for this resource to expose the S3 PutObject operation. Secure the API Gateway using a COGNITO_USER_POOLS authorizer. Have the browser interface use API Gateway instead of the presigned URL to upload objects.

B.

Set up an Amazon API Gateway with a regional API endpoint that has a resource as an S3 service proxy. Configure the PUT method for this resource to expose the S3 PutObject operation. Secure the API Gateway using an AWS Lambda authorizer. Have the browser interface use API Gateway instead of the presigned URL to upload API objects.

C.

Enable an S3 Transfer Acceleration endpoint on the S3 bucket. Use the endpoint when generating the presigned URL. Have the browser interface upload the objects to this URL using the S3 multipart upload API.

D.

Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the destination S3 bucket. Enable PUT and POST methods for the CloudFront cache behavior. Update the CloudFront origin to use an origin access identity (OAI). Give the OAI user s3:PutObject permissions in the bucket policy. Have the browser interface upload objects using the CloudFront distribution

An AWS partner company is building a service in AWS Organizations using Its organization named org. This service requires the partner company to have access to AWS resources in a customer account, which is in a separate organization named org2 The company must establish least privilege security access using an API or command line tool to the customer account

D.

The customer should create an IAM rote and assign the required permissions to the IAM rote. The partner company should then use the IAM rote ' s Amazon Resource Name (ARN). Including the external ID in the IAM role ' s trust pokey, when requesting access to perform the required tasks

A company is running applications on AWS in a multi-account environment. The company ' s sales team and marketing team use separate AWS accounts in AWS Organizations.

The sales team stores petabytes of data in an Amazon S3 bucket. The marketing team uses Amazon QuickSight for data visualizations. The marketing team needs access to data that the sates team stores in the S3 bucket. The company has encrypted the S3 bucket with an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key. The marketing team has already created the IAM service role for QuickSight to provide QuickSight access in the marketing AWS account.

Update the S3 bucket policy in the marketing account to grant access to the QuickSight role. Create a KMS grant for the encryption key that is used in the S3 bucket. Grant decrypt access to the QuickSight role. Update the QuickSight permissions in the marketing account to grant access to the S3 bucket.

D.

In an AWS application account, the company ' s application team has deployed a web application that uses AWS Lambda and Amazon RDS. The company ' s database administrators have a separate DBA account and use the account to centrally manage all the databases across the organization. The database administrators use an Amazon EC2 instance that is deployed in the DBA account to access an RDS database that is deployed in the application account.

The application team has stored the database credentials as secrets in AWS Secrets Manager in the application account.

A company has implemented a new security requirement According to the new requirement, the company must scan all traffic from corporate AWS instances in the company ' s VPC for violations of the company ' s security policies. As a result of these scans the company can block access to and from specific IP addresses.

To meet the new requirement, the company deploys a set of Amazon EC2 instances in private subnets to serve as transparent proxies The company installs approved proxy server software on these EC2 instances The company modifies the route tables on all subnets to use the corresponding EC2 instances with proxy software as the default route The company also creates security groupsthat are compliant with the security policies and assigns these security groups to the EC2 instances

Despite these configurations, the traffic of the EC2 instances in their private subnets is not being properly forwarded to the internet.

What should a solutions architect do to resolve this issue?

A.

Disable source ' destination checks on the EC2 instances that run the proxy software

B.

Add a rule to the security group that is assigned to the proxy EC2 instances to allow all traffic between instances that have this security group Assign this security group to all EC2 instances in the VPC.

C.

Change the VPC ' s DHCP options set Set the DNS server options to point to the addresses of the proxy EC2 instances

D.

Assign one additional elastic network interface to each proxy EC2 instance Ensure that one of these network interfaces has a route to the private subnets Ensure that the other network interface has a route to the internet.
