Question 1 ( Topic 1 )

A solutions architect is designing a solution where users will be directed to a backup static error
page if the primary website is unavailable. The primary website’s
DNS records are hosted in Amazon Route 53 where their domain is pointing to an Application
Load Balancer (ALB).
Which configuration should the solutions architect use to meet the company’s needs while
minimizing changes and infrastructure overhead?

 A. Point a Route 53 alias record to an Amazon CloudFront distribution with the ALB as
one of its origins. Then, create custom error pages for the distribution.
 B. Set up a Route 53 active-passive failover configuration. Direct traffic to a static error
page hosted within an Amazon S3 bucket when Route 53 health checks determine that
the ALB endpoint is unhealthy.
 C. Update the Route 53 record to use a latency-based routing policy. Add the backup
static error page hosted within an Amazon S3 bucket to the record so the traffic is sent to
the most responsive endpoints.
 D. Set up a Route 53 active-active configuration with the ALB and an Amazon EC2
instance hosting a static error page as endpoints. Route 53 will only send requests to the
instance if the heal checks fail for the ALB.
Answer : B

Question 34 ( Topic 1 )

A solutions architect at an ecommerce company wants to back up application log data to

Amazon S3. The solutions architect is unsure how frequently the logs will be accessed or which
logs will be accessed the most. The company wants to keep costs as low as possible by using the
appropriate S3 storage class.
Which S3 storage class should be implemented to meet these requirements?

 A. S3 Glacier
 B. S3 Intelligent-Tiering
 C. S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA)
 D. S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA)

Answer : D

Explanation:
S3 One Zone-IA is for data that is accessed less frequently, but requires rapid access when
needed. Unlike other S3 Storage Classes which store data in a minimum of three Availability
Zones (AZs), S3 One Zone-IA stores data in a single AZ and costs 20% less than S3 Standard-
IA. S3 One Zone-IA is ideal for customers who want a lower-cost option for infrequently
accessed data but do not require the availability and resilience of S3 Standard or S3 Standard-IA.
It’s a good choice for storing secondary backup copies of on-premises data or easily re-
creatable data. You can also use it as cost-effective storage for data that is replicated from
another AWS Region using S3 Cross-Region Replication.

Question 35 ( Topic 1 )

A company’s website is used to sell products to the public. The site runs on Amazon EC2
instances in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer
(ALB). There is also an Amazon CloudFront distribution, and AWS WAF is being used to
protect against SQL injection attacks. The ALB is the origin for the
CloudFront distribution. A recent review of security logs revealed an external malicious IP that
needs to be blocked from accessing the website.
What should a solutions architect do to protect the application?

 A. Modify the network ACL on the CloudFront distribution to add a deny rule for the
malicious IP address.
 B. Modify the configuration of AWS WAF to add an IP match condition to block the
malicious IP address.
 C. Modify the network ACL for the EC2 instances in the target groups behind the ALB
to deny the malicious IP address.
 D. Modify the security groups for the EC2 instances in the target groups behind the ALB
to deny the malicious IP address.
