A company has a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances running Linux across multiple Availability Zones. The instances need to access a shared file system simultaneously to read and write configuration files. Which storage solution meets this requirement?
A company has an on-premises data center and wants to integrate its existing applications with AWS storage. They need a solution that provides low-latency access to frequently accessed data locally, while seamlessly storing the full volume of data in Amazon S3. Which TWO AWS Storage Gateway configurations can meet this requirement? (Select TWO.)
A research institution is running a high-performance computing (HPC) workload on AWS. The workload requires a shared file system that can provide sub-millisecond latencies and millions of IOPS. The data is currently stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Which storage solution should the solutions architect recommend?
A company wants to protect its Amazon S3 data from accidental deletion. They want to ensure that even if an administrator accidentally deletes an object, it can be recovered. Which feature should be enabled?
A company is designing a highly available architecture for a legacy application that requires a shared file system. The application will run on EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones. Which TWO storage solutions meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A company is migrating a legacy Windows application to AWS. The application requires a shared file system that supports the SMB protocol and integrates with their on-premises Active Directory. Which storage solution should they use?
A company wants to back up their on-premises file servers to AWS. They want to maintain local access to frequently accessed files for low latency, while storing all data in Amazon S3. Which TWO AWS Storage Gateway configurations support this? (Select TWO.)
A company is migrating a legacy application to AWS. The application requires a file system that supports the SMB protocol and integrates with their on-premises Active Directory. Which storage service should be used?
A fleet of Amazon EC2 instances needs to access a shared file system simultaneously. The instances are distributed across multiple Availability Zones in a single VPC. Which storage solution provides high availability and concurrent access?
An on-premises application generates large amounts of video files. The local storage is running out of space. The company wants to extend their storage to AWS seamlessly, keeping frequently accessed files locally while moving older files to Amazon S3. Which service should they use?
A media company needs a high-performance file system for video rendering. The rendering instances run on Linux and require sub-millisecond latencies and high throughput. The data is temporary and does not need to be backed up. Which storage solution is MOST appropriate?
A company is migrating its on-premises file server to AWS. The file server is accessed by Windows-based applications using the SMB protocol. The company requires a fully managed AWS service that integrates with their existing on-premises Microsoft Active Directory. <br/><br/>Which TWO actions should the solutions architect take? (Select TWO.)
A company stores critical documents in Amazon S3. They need to protect against accidental deletion or overwriting of these documents. Which S3 feature provides this protection?
A fleet of EC2 instances running Linux needs to access a shared file system concurrently. The file system must scale automatically and be highly available across multiple Availability Zones. Which TWO AWS services could meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
A company wants to back up their on-premises file servers to AWS. They want to keep frequently accessed files locally for low-latency access, while seamlessly storing older files in Amazon S3. Which AWS Storage Gateway type should they use?
A company is migrating a legacy Linux application to AWS. The application requires a shared file system that can be accessed concurrently by hundreds of EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones. The file system must be highly available and POSIX-compliant.<br/><br/>Which AWS storage service should be used?
A company has an on-premises data center and wants to use AWS for backup storage. They want to retain their existing backup software, which writes data to iSCSI block storage. They want to store the backups in Amazon S3 to minimize costs, but keep a local cache of recently written backups for fast restores.<br/><br/>Which TWO statements about the solution are correct? (Select TWO.)
A company is migrating a Windows-based application to AWS. The application relies on a shared file system using the SMB protocol and integrates heavily with Microsoft Active Directory for access control.<br/><br/>Which AWS storage service is the MOST appropriate choice?
A company needs a shared file system that can be accessed concurrently by hundreds of Amazon EC2 Linux instances across multiple Availability Zones. The file system must automatically scale its storage capacity. Which AWS service should be used?
A company has an on-premises application that needs to store backups in AWS. The application requires a local cache for low-latency access to recently used data, but the bulk of the data should be stored in Amazon S3 to reduce costs. Which AWS service meets these requirements?
A media company stores high-resolution video files in Amazon S3. The files are frequently accessed for the first 30 days, then rarely accessed, but must be kept indefinitely for archiving. If a file is needed after 30 days, a retrieval time of up to 12 hours is acceptable. Which S3 lifecycle policy is MOST cost-effective?
