A solutions architect needs to advise a company on how to migrate its on-premises data processing application to the AWS Cloud. Currently, users upload input files through a web portal. The web server then stores the uploaded files on NAS and messages the processing server over a message queue. Each media file can take up to 1 hour to process. The company has determined that the number of media files awaiting processing is significantly higher during business hours, with the number of files rapidly declining after business hours.
What is the MOST cost-effective migration recommendation?
A company has a legacy monolithic application that is critical to the company's business. The company hosts the application on an Amazon EC2 instance that runs Amazon Linux 2. The company's application team receives a directive from the legal department to back up the data from the instance's encrypted Amazon
Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume to an Amazon S3 bucket. The application team does not have the administrative SSH key pair for the instance. The application must continue to serve the users.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company gives users the ability to upload images from a custom application. The upload process invokes an AWS Lambda function that processes and stores the image in an Amazon S3 bucket. The application invokes the Lambda function by using a specific function version ARN.
The Lambda function accepts image processing parameters by using environment variables. The company often adjusts the environment variables of the Lambda function to achieve optimal image processing output. The company tests different parameters and publishes a new function version with the updated environment variables after validating results. This update process also requires frequent changes to the custom application to invoke the new function version ARN. These changes cause interruptions for users.
A solutions architect needs to simplify this process to minimize disruption to users.

A company has developed a mobile game. The backend for the game runs on several virtual machines located in an on-premises data center. The business logic is exposed using a REST API with multiple functions. Player session data is stored in central file storage. Backend services use different API keys for throttling and to distinguish between live and test traffic.
The load on the game backend varies throughout the day. During peak hours, the server capacity is not sufficient. There are also latency issues when fetching player session data. Management has asked a solutions architect to present a cloud architecture that can handle the game's varying load and provide low-latency data access. The API model should not be changed.

Question:
A company hosts an application that uses several Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). During the initial startup of the EC2 instances, the EC2 instances run user data scripts to download critical content for the application from an Amazon S3 bucket.
The EC2 instances are launching correctly. However, after a period of time, the EC2 instances are terminated with the following error message:
“An instance was taken out of service in response to an ELB system health check failure.”
The only recent change to the deployment is that the company added a large amount of critical content to the S3 bucket.
What should a solutions architect do so that the production environment can deploy successfully?

A flood monitoring agency has deployed more than 10.000 water-level monitoring sensors. Sensors send continuous data updates, and each update is less than 1 MB in size. The agency has a fleet of on-premises application servers. These servers receive upda.es 'on the sensors, convert the raw data into a human readable format, and write the results loan on-premises relational database server. Data analysts then use simple SOL queries to monitor the data.
The agency wants to increase overall application availability and reduce the effort that is required to perform maintenance tasks These maintenance tasks, which include updates and patches to the application servers, cause downtime. While an application server is down, data is lost from sensors because the remaining servers cannot handle the entire workload.
The agency wants a solution that optimizes operational overhead and costs. A solutions architect recommends the use of AWS loT Core to collect the sensor data.

A video processing company has an application that downloads images from an Amazon S3 bucket, processes the images, stores a transformed image in a second S3 bucket, and updates metadata about the image in an Amazon DynamoDB table. The application is written in Node.js and runs by using an AWS Lambda function. The Lambda function is invoked when a new image is uploaded to Amazon S3.
The application ran without incident for a while. However, the size of the images has grown significantly. The Lambda function is now failing frequently with timeout errors. The function timeout is set to its maximum value. A solutions architect needs to refactor the application’s architecture to prevent invocation failures. The company does not want to manage the underlying infrastructure.
