 \nA) The load balancer will stop sending requests to the failed instance.  \nB) The load balancer will terminate the failed instance.  \nC) The load balancer will automatically replace the failed instance.  \nD) The load balancer will return 504 Gateway Timeout errors until the instance is replaced.  \n2) A company needs to perform asynchronous processing, and has Amazon SQS as part of a decoupled architecture. The company wants to ensure that the number of empty responses from polling requests are kept to a minimum.  \nWhat should a solutions architect do to ensure that empty responses are reduced?  \nA) Increase the maximum message retention period for the queue.  \nB) Increase the maximum receives for the redrive policy for the queue.  \nC) Increase the default visibility timeout for the queue.  \nD) Increase the receive message wait time for the queue.  \n3) A company currently stores data for on-premises applications on local drives. The chief technology officer wants to reduce hardware costs by storing the data in Amazon S3 but does not want to make modifications to the applications. To minimize latency, frequently accessed data should be available locally.  \nWhat is a reliable and durable solution for a solutions architect to implement that will reduce the cost of local storage?  \nA) Deploy an SFTP client on a local server and transfer data to Amazon S3 using AWS Transfer for SFTP.  \nB) Deploy an AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway configured in cached volume mode.  \nC) Deploy an AWS DataSync agent on a local server and configure an S3 bucket as the destination.  \nD) Deploy an AWS Storage Gateway volume gateway configured in stored volume mode.  \n4) A company runs a public-facing three-tier web application in a VPC across multiple Availability Zones. Amazon EC2 instances for the application tier running in private subnets need to download software patches from the internet. However, the instances cannot be directly accessible from the internet.  \nWhich actions should be taken to allow the instances to download the needed patches? (Select TWO.)  \nA) Configure a NAT gateway in a public subnet.  \nB) Define a custom route table with a route to the NAT gateway for internet traffic and associate it with the private subnets for the application tier.  \nC) Assign Elastic IP addresses to the application instances.  \nD) Define a custom route table with a route to the internet gateway for internet traffic and associate it with the private subnets for the application tier.  \nE) Configure a NAT instance in a private subnet.  \n5) A solutions architect wants to design a solution to save costs for Amazon EC2 instances that do not need to run during a 2-week company shutdown. The applications running on the instances store data in instance memory (RAM) that must be present when the instances resume operation.  \nWhich approach should the solutions architect recommend to shut down and resume the instances?  \nA) Modify the application to store the data on instance store volumes. Reattach the volumes while restarting them.  \nB) Snapshot the instances before stopping them. Restore the snapshot after restarting the instances.  \nC) Run the applications on instances enabled for hibernation. Hibernate the instances before the shutdown.  \nD) Note the Availability Zone for each instance before stopping it. Restart the instances in the same Availability Zones after the shutdown.  \n6) A company plans to run a monitoring application on an Amazon EC2 instance in a VPC. Connections are made to the instance using its private IPv4 address. A solutions architect needs to design a solution that will allow traffic to be quickly directed to a standby instance if the application fails and becomes unreachable.  \nWhich approach will meet these requirements?  \nA) Deploy an App","cbCais2mqWAPTq0N","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais2mqWAPTq0N","pdf",445731,"English","# Questions\n## Networking and availability\n## Messaging and asynchronous processing\n## Storage and hybrid connectivity\n## EC2 lifecycle and cost optimization\n## Monitoring and failover routing\n## S3 access for web scripts\n## Encryption at rest and compliance","[{\"question\":\"How does an Application Load Balancer behave when an EC2 instance fails behind it?\",\"answer\":\"The load balancer stops sending requests to the failed instance until it is healthy again or replaced.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be changed to reduce empty responses when polling messages from Amazon SQS?\",\"answer\":\"Adjust the SQS receive behavior by increasing the receive wait time so polling waits longer for messages, reducing empty responses.\"},{\"question\":\"Which VPC networking method allows private-subnet instances to download patches from the internet?\",\"answer\":\"Configure a NAT gateway in a public subnet and update route tables for the private subnets to route internet-bound traffic to the NAT gateway.\"}]","AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate - Sample Questions v4.1 - Final | PDF",1789932377]
