Purchase Reserved Instances for the Auto Scaling group. Use the OnDemandPercentageAboveBaseCapacity parameter to configure the launch template to launch Spot Instances. 
D. Re-architect the application to use AWS Lambda functions instead of Amazon EC2 instances. Purchase a one-year Compute Savings Plan to reduce the cost of Lambda usage. 


Question # 15

A company runs its workloads on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). The container images that the ECS task definition uses need to be scanned for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). New container images that are created also need to be scanned. Which solution will meet these requirements with the FEWEST changes to the workloads?

A. Use Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) as a private image repository to store the container images. Specify scan on push filters for the ECR basic scan. 
B. Store the container images in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use Amazon Macie to scan the images. Use an S3 Event Notification to initiate a Made scan for every event with an s3:ObjeclCreated:Put event type 
C. Deploy the workloads to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Use Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) as a private image repository. Specify scan on push filters for the ECR enhanced scan. 
D. Store the container images in an Amazon S3 bucket that has versioning enabled. Configure an S3 Event Notification for s3:ObjectCrealed:* events to invoke an AWS Lambda function. Configure the Lambda function to initiate an Amazon Inspector scan. 


Question # 16

A company is migrating a new application from an on-premises data center to a new VPC in the AWS Cloud. The company has multiple AWS accounts and VPCs that share many subnets and applications. The company wants to have fine-grained access control for the new application. The company wants to ensure that all network resources across accounts and VPCs that are granted permission to access the new application can access the application.

A. Set up a VPC peering connection for each VPC that needs access to the new application VPC. Update route tables in each VPC to enable connectivity. 
B. Deploy a transit gateway in the account that hosts the new application. Share the transit gateway with each account that needs to connect to the application. Update route tables in the VPC that hosts the new application and in the transit gateway to enable connectivity. 
C. Use an AWS PrivateLink endpoint service to make the new application accessible to other VPCs. Control access to the application by using an endpoint policy. 
D. Use an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to expose the new application to the internet. Configure authentication and authorization processes to ensure that only specified VPCs can access the application. 


Question # 17

A company wants to restrict access to the content of its web application. The company needs to protect the content by using authorization techniques that are available on AWS. The company also wants to implement a serverless architecture for authorization and authentication that has low login latency. The solution must integrate with the web application and serve web content globally. The application currently has a small user base, but the company expects the application's user base to increase Which solution will meet these requirements?

A. Configure Amazon Cognito for authentication. Implement Lambda@Edge for authorization. Configure Amazon CloudFront to serve the web application globally 
B. Configure AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory for authentication. Implement AWS Lambda for authorization. Use an Application Load Balancer to serve the web application globally.

Question # 19

A company has a static website that is hosted on Amazon CloudFront in front of Amazon S3. The static website uses a database backend. The company notices that the website does not reflect updates that have been made in the website's Git repository. The company checks the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline between the Git repository and Amazon S3.

D. Use AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) to validate the website's SSL certificate. 


Question # 20

A solutions architect needs to optimize a large data analytics job that runs on an Amazon EMR cluster. The job takes 13 hours to finish. The cluster has multiple core nodes and worker nodes deployed on large, compute-optimized instances. After reviewing EMR logs, the solutions architect discovers that several nodes are idle for more than 5 hours while the job is running. The solutions architect needs to optimize cluster performance. Which solution will meet this requirement MOST cost-effectively?
