A company wants to manage the costs associated with a group of 20 applications that are infrequently used, but are still business-critical, by migrating to AWS. The applications are a mix of Java and Node.js spread across different instance clusters. The company wants to minimize costs while standardizing by using a single deployment methodology.
Most of the applications are part of month-end processing routines with a small number of concurrent users, but they are occasionally run at other times Average application memory consumption is less than 1 GB. though some applications use as much as 2.5 GB of memory during peak processing. The most important application in the group is a billing report written in Java that accesses multiple data sources and often runs for several hours.
Which is the MOST cost-effective solution?
A company has many services running in its on-premises data center. The data center is connected to AWS using AWS Direct Connect (DX)and an IPsec VPN. The service data is sensitive and connectivity cannot traverse the interne. The company wants to expand to a new market segment and begin offering Is services to other companies that are using AWS.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A company has an application that runs on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application is in an AWS account that has AWS CloudTrail enabled. The company restricts access to the application by adding the IP addresses of end users to a security group that is associated with the ALB.
The company is developing an AWS Lambda function to determine if the allowed IP addresses have accessed the application recently. If an allowed IP address has not accessed the application in the last 90 days, the Lambda function will remove the IP address from the security group.
The company needs to implement the functionality for the Lambda function to check the IPaddresses.
Which combination of steps will provide this functionality MOST cost-effectively? (Select TWO.)
A company has hundreds of AWS accounts. The company uses an organization in AWS Organizations to manage all the accounts. The company has turned on all features.
A finance team has allocated a daily budget for AWS costs. The finance team must receive an email notification if the organization's AWS costs exceed 80% of the allocated budget. A solutions architect needs to implement a solution to track the costs and deliver the notifications.

Question:
A company runs a Linux app on Amazon EKS usingM6iEC2 instances under a Savings Plan that is about to expire. They want toreduce costsafter expiration.
A large company recently experienced an unexpected increase in Amazon RDS and Amazon DynamoDB costs. The company needs to increase visibility into details of AWS Billing and Cost Management There are various accounts associated with AWS Organizations, including many development and production accounts There is no consistent tagging strategy across the organization, but there are guidelines in place that require all infrastructure to be deployed using AWS CloudFormation with consistent tagging. Management requires cost center numbers and project ID numbers for all existing and future DynamoDB tables and RDS instances.
Which strategy should the solutions architect provide to meet these requirements?
A company needs to migrate an on-premises SFTP site to AWS. The SFTP site currently runs on a Linux VM. Uploaded files are made available to downstream applications through an NFS share.
As part of the migration to AWS, a solutions architect must implement high availability. The solution must provide external vendors with a set of static public IP addresses that the vendors can allow. The company has set up an AWS Direct Connect connection between its on-premises data center and its VPC.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the least operational overhead?
A company has deployed applications to thousands of Amazon EC2 instances in an AWS account. A security audit discovers that several unencrypted Amazon EBS volumes are attached to the EC2 instances. The company's security policy requires the EBS volumes to be encrypted.
The company needs to implement an automated solution to encrypt the EBS volumes. The solution also must prevent development teams from creating unencrypted EBS volumes.
