A company is running several workloads in a single AWS account. A new company policy states that engineers can provision only approved resources and that engineers must use AWS CloudFormation to provision these resources. A solutions architect needs to create a solution to enforce the new restriction on the IAM role that the engineers use for access.

What should the solutions architect do to create the solution?

A.

Upload AWS CloudFormation templates that contain approved resources to an Amazon S3 bucket. Update the IAM policy for the engineers' IAM role to only allow access to Amazon S3 and AWS CloudFormation. Use AWS CloudFormation templates to provision resources.

B.

Update the IAM policy for the engineers' IAM role with permissions to only allow provisioning of approved resources and AWS CloudFormation. Use AWS CloudFormation templates to create stacks with approved resources.

C.

Update the IAM policy for the engineers' IAM role with permissions to only allow AWS CloudFormation actions. Create a new IAM policy with permission to provision approved resources, and assign the policy to a new IAM service role. Assign the IAM service role to AWS CloudFormation during stack creation.

D.

Provision resources in AWS CloudFormation stacks. Update the IAM policy for the engineers' IAM role to only allow access to their own AWS CloudFormation stack.

A company has application services that have been containerized and deployed on multiple Amazon EC2 instances with public IPs. An Apache Kafka cluster has been deployed to the EC2 instances. A PostgreSQL database has been migrated to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. The company expects a significant increase of orders on its platform when a new version of its flagship product is released.

What changes to the current architecture will reduce operational overhead and support the product release?

A solutions architect needs to migrate an on-premises legacy application to AWS. The application runs on two servers behind a bad balancer. The application requires a license file that is associated with the MAC address of the server's network adapter. It takes the software vendor 12 hours to send new license files. The application also uses configuration files with a static IP address to access a database host names are not supported.

Given these requirements. which combination of steps should be taken to implement highly available architecture for the application servers in AWS? (Select TWO.)

A.

Create a pool of ENIs. Request license files from the vendor for the pool, and store the license files in Amazon $3. Create a bootstrap automation script to download a license file and attach the corresponding ENI to anAmazon EC2 instance.

B.

Create a pool of ENIs. Request license files from the vendor for the pool, store the license files on an Amazon EC2 instance. Create an AMI from the instance and use this AMI for all future EC2

C.

D.

Edit the bootstrap automation script to read the database server IP address from the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. and inject the value into the local configuration files.

E.

Edit an Amazon EC2 instance to include the database server IP address in the configuration files and re-create the AMI to use for all future EC2 instances.

A company has used infrastructure as code (IaC) to provision a set of two Amazon EC2 instances. The instances have remained the same for several years.

The company's business has grown rapidly in the past few months. In response the company's operations team has implemented an Auto Scaling group to manage the sudden increases in traffic. Company policy requires a monthly installation of security updates on all operating systems that are running.

The most recent security update required a reboot. As a result, the Auto Scaling group terminated the instances and replaced them with new, unpatched instances.

Which combination of steps should a solutions architect recommend to avoid a recurrence of this issue? (Choose two.)

A.

Modify the Auto Scaling group by setting the Update policy to target the oldest launch configuration for replacement.

B.

Create a new Auto Scaling group before the next patch maintenance. During the maintenance window, patch both groups and reboot the instances.

C.

Create an Elastic Load Balancer in front of the Auto Scaling group. Configure monitoring to ensure that target group health checks return healthy after the Auto Scaling group replaces the terminated instances.

D.

Create automation scripts to patch an AMI, update the launch configuration, and invoke an Auto Scaling instance refresh.

E.

Create an Elastic Load Balancer in front of the Auto Scaling group. Configure termination protection on the instances.

A company has an application that uses Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. The quality assurance (QA) department needs to launch and test the application. The application environments are currently launched by the manager of the department using an AWS CloudFormation template. To launch the stack, the manager uses a role with permission to use CloudFormation, EC2, and Auto Scaling APIs. The manager wants to allow QA to launch environments, but does not want to grant broad permissions to each user.

Which set up would achieve these goals?

A company is running an application in the AWS Cloud. The application consists of microservices that run on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances in multiple Availability Zones behind an Application Load Balancer. The company recently added a new REST API that was implemented in Amazon API Gateway. Some of the older microservices that run on EC2 instances need to call this new API.

The company does not want the API to be accessible from the public internet and does not want proprietary data to traverse the public internet
