This option is the most cost-effective and scalable way to process the files uploaded to S3. AWS CloudTrail is used to log API calls, not to trigger actions based on them. AWS AppSync is a service for building GraphQL APIs, not for processing files. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is used to ingest and process streaming data, not to send data to S3. Amazon SNS is a pub/sub service that can be used to notify subscribers of events, not to process files. References:

These options are the most suitable ways to configure the network architecture to provide the lowest possible latency between nodes. Option A enables and configures enhanced networking on each EC2 instance, which is a feature that improves the network performance of the instance by providing higher bandwidth, lower latency, and lower jitter. Enhanced networking uses single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) or Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) to provide direct access to the network hardware. You can enable and configure enhanced networking by choosing a supported instance type and a compatible operating system, and installing the required drivers. Option C runs the EC2 instances in a cluster placement group, which is a logical grouping of instanceswithin a single Availability Zone that are placed close together on the same underlying hardware. Cluster placement groups provide the lowest network latency and the highest network throughput among the placement group options. You can run the EC2 instances in a cluster placement group by creating a placement group and launching the instances into it.

Option B is not suitable because grouping the EC2 instances in separate accounts does not provide the lowest possible latency between nodes. Separate accounts are used to isolate and organize resources for different purposes, such as security, billing, or compliance. However, they do not affect the network performance or proximity of the instances. Moreover, grouping the EC2 instances in separate accounts would incur additional costs and complexity, and it would require setting up cross-account networking and permissions.

Option D is not suitable because attaching multiple elastic network interfaces to each EC2 instance does not provide the lowest possible latency between nodes. Elastic network interfaces are virtual network interfaces that can be attached to EC2 instances to provide additional network capabilities, such as multiple IP addresses, multiple subnets, or enhanced security. However, they do not affect the network performance or proximity of the instances. Moreover, attaching multiple elastic network interfaces to each EC2 instance would consume additional resources and limit the instance type choices.

Option E is not suitable because using Amazon EBS optimized instance types does not provide the lowest possible latency between nodes. Amazon EBS optimized instance types are instances that provide dedicated bandwidth for Amazon EBS volumes, which are block storage volumes that can be attached to EC2 instances. EBS optimized instance types improve the performance and consistency of the EBS volumes, but they do not affect the network performance or proximity of the instances. Moreover, using EBS optimized instance types would incur additional costs and may not be necessary for the streaming data workload. References:

This solution provides the appropriate user access most cost-effectively because it uses the Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class, which automatically optimizes storage costs by moving data to the most cost-effective access tier when access patterns change, without performance impact or operational overhead1. This storage class is ideal for datawith unknown, changing, or unpredictable access patterns, such as photos that are heavily viewed for months or less than a week. By storing the photo metadata and its S3 location in DynamoDB, the application can quickly query and retrieve the relevant photos for each user. DynamoDB is a fast, scalable, and fully managed NoSQL database service that supports key-value and document data models2.

This option is the most cost-effective and scalable way to allow the Lambda function in the primary account to access the EFS file system in the secondary account. VPC peering enables private connectivity between two VPCs without requiring gateways, VPN connections, or dedicated networkconnections. The Lambda function can use the VPC peering connection to mount the EFS file system as a local file system and access the files as needed. The solution does not incur additional data transfer or storage costs, and it leverages the existing EFS file system without duplicating or moving the data.

Option A is not cost-effective because it requires creating a new EFS file system and using AWS DataSync to copy the data from the original EFS file system. This would incur additional storage and data transfer costs, and it would not provide real-time access to the files.

Option C is not scalable because it requires creating a second Lambda function in the secondary account and configuring cross-account permissions to invoke it from the primary account. This would add complexity and latency to the solution, and it would increase the Lambda invocation costs.

Option D is not feasible because Lambda layers are not designed to store large amounts of data or provide file system access. Lambda layers are used to share common code or libraries across multiple Lambda functions. Moving the contents of the EFS file system to a Lambda layer wouldexceed the size limit of 250 MB for a layer, and it would not allow the Lambda function to read or write files to the layer. References:
