Amazon AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Practice Test 7

Question 60

A professional architect is reviewing two independent workstreams. Requirement A: A high-throughput session API must share ephemeral session data among multiple application instances without database round trips. Requirement B: A compliance dataset is rarely accessed after 90 days but must remain recoverable with several-hour retrieval tolerance. Which TWO controls should be used together for these separate scenarios?

  1. Configure Route 53 health checks with primary and secondary failover records and tested TTL behavior
  2. Introduce DynamoDB DAX for supported cacheable read paths and check data freshness requirements
  3. Use ElastiCache Redis/Valkey-compatible cache with a suitable eviction and high-availability design
  4. Scale ECS services or EC2 Auto Scaling from queue depth and processing time metrics
  5. Configure S3 lifecycle transitions to a suitable archival storage class and test retrieval times

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

This action meets the independently stated requirement A: A high-throughput session API must share ephemeral session data among multiple application instances without database round trips. A shared in-memory cache reduces backend read pressure when expiry and failure behavior are designed. A direct acceptance check is: Hot session lookups avoid repeated database queries and failure recovery preserves acceptable service behavior.

E:

This action meets the independently stated requirement B: A compliance dataset is rarely accessed after 90 days but must remain recoverable with several-hour retrieval tolerance. Lifecycle transitions reduce storage expense only if retrieval and minimum-duration constraints fit. A direct acceptance check is: Objects transition after the configured age and can be restored within the business retrieval target.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This action targets a different technical need: A Route 53 failover policy must move users between two independent public endpoints when the primary application fails. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. DNS health-based failover changes record responses, but clients may cache prior results; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.

B:

This action targets a different technical need: A product catalog on DynamoDB receives many repeated eventually consistent key lookups and requires microsecond cache responses. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. DAX offers managed in-memory caching for eligible DynamoDB read workloads; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.

D:

This action targets a different technical need: A queue-backed worker fleet is underloaded overnight but still runs a fixed large number of instances. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. Queue-driven scaling aligns paid worker capacity with outstanding workload; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.

Question 61

An enterprise architecture team faces this design requirement: A busy event-routing platform must retain dropped partner events for later controlled replay after a bug fix. Which architecture decision best meets that precise requirement?

  1. Configure EventBridge archives and event replay with selection patterns and measured retention
  2. Design a warm-standby secondary Region with continuously updated state and reduced steady-state capacity
  3. Define AWS Step Functions state-machine Retry and Catch behavior with idempotent service tasks
  4. Configure Route 53 failover routing with suitable health checks and a tested secondary target

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

EventBridge event archives retain matching historical events for later replay. The required architecture outcome is: A busy event-routing platform must retain dropped partner events for later controlled replay after a bug fix. Validate this choice by checking that Events captured during the fault can be replayed to a corrected consumer after recovery.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Backup-only DR cannot restart the platform quickly enough for the required minutes-long RTO. The specific problem here is that no event archive exists to replay notifications that failed during downstream processing.

C:

Imperative glue retries all upstream steps and creates duplicate side effects. The specific problem here is that no event archive exists to replay notifications that failed during downstream processing.

D:

DNS simple routing cannot automatically reflect the application's health. The specific problem here is that no event archive exists to replay notifications that failed during downstream processing.

Question 62

An enterprise architecture team faces this design requirement: A legacy reporting ETL cluster requires durable raw data sharing and easier scale-out queries across departments. Which proposed change addresses the stated constraint most directly?

  1. Prefer a supported homogeneous DMS migration or native replication pattern with CDC where suitable
  2. Build a governed S3-centered data lake with AWS Glue metadata and appropriate analytics services
  3. Extract suitable endpoints to API Gateway and Lambda with explicit authentication, throttling and timeout controls
  4. Redesign notifications into event-driven processing using EventBridge or SQS with idempotent consumers

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A shared governed object-storage lake decouples data retention from individual processing engines. The required architecture outcome is: A legacy reporting ETL cluster requires durable raw data sharing and easier scale-out queries across departments. Validate this choice by checking that Separate analysts query approved lake datasets without direct access to the legacy ETL host.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Complex heterogeneous schema conversion was selected unnecessarily for a same-engine migration. The specific problem here is that all analytics jobs depend on a single custom ETL server and its directly attached storage.

C:

Always-on monolith capacity is required merely to handle infrequent independent endpoints. The specific problem here is that all analytics jobs depend on a single custom ETL server and its directly attached storage.

D:

Tight synchronous coupling propagates a noncritical downstream failure to the primary transaction. The specific problem here is that all analytics jobs depend on a single custom ETL server and its directly attached storage.

Question 63

An enterprise architecture team faces this design requirement: A transactional RDS workload must automatically fail over within the Region on an AZ failure. What design change should the team implement?

  1. Deploy a supported RDS Multi-AZ configuration and verify connection retry and DNS handling
  2. Configure Route 53 failover routing with suitable health checks and a tested secondary target
  3. Use an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling groups spanning multiple AZs and health checks
  4. Configure S3 replication rules with correct versioning and KMS permissions for destination encrypted objects

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

RDS Multi-AZ provides standby capacity for automated intra-Region failover, not read scaling by itself. The required architecture outcome is: A transactional RDS workload must automatically fail over within the Region on an AZ failure. Validate this choice by checking that Zonal failover promotes a standby and the application reconnects after the expected interruption.

Incorrect Answers

B:

DNS simple routing cannot automatically reflect the application's health. The specific problem here is that single-AZ database storage and compute are a single zonal failure domain.

C:

Instance capacity is pinned to one zone with no automated target recovery. The specific problem here is that single-AZ database storage and compute are a single zonal failure domain.

D:

The destination bucket is present but replication cannot use the destination KMS key. The specific problem here is that single-AZ database storage and compute are a single zonal failure domain.

Question 64

For the enterprise requirement "A production deployment causes an outage because all old tasks were removed before new code passed tests", the team implemented this change: Introduce a blue-green deployment strategy with health alarms and traffic rollback. What would most directly validate the implementation?

  1. Discount usage improves with fewer unused reservation hours and measured baseline cost changes
  2. Failed deliveries retry under the configured policy and exhausted messages reach the DLQ
  3. New instances become healthy before major traffic shift and rollback restores the previous code path
  4. The stack tolerates the injected zonal fault and stop alarms terminate experiments as planned

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

This measures the behavior required by the specific solution, rather than simply checking that it was configured. Blue-green promotion protects a known-good environment until replacement quality is established. The acceptance condition is linked directly to the scenario: A production deployment causes an outage because all old tasks were removed before new code passed tests.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Discount usage improves with fewer unused reservation hours and measured baseline cost changes. However, this does not establish the required outcome: new instances become healthy before major traffic shift and rollback restores the previous code path.

B:

Failed deliveries retry under the configured policy and exhausted messages reach the DLQ. However, this does not establish the required outcome: new instances become healthy before major traffic shift and rollback restores the previous code path.

D:

The stack tolerates the injected zonal fault and stop alarms terminate experiments as planned. However, this does not establish the required outcome: new instances become healthy before major traffic shift and rollback restores the previous code path.

Question 65

An enterprise architecture team faces this design requirement: A legacy database must meet high transactional availability and can accept conversion to an Aurora-compatible engine. Which action would resolve the problem without adding unrelated capabilities?

  1. Extract suitable endpoints to API Gateway and Lambda with explicit authentication, throttling and timeout controls
  2. Evaluate Amazon MQ with an appropriate compatible engine and migrate broker connections in stages
  3. Prefer a supported homogeneous DMS migration or native replication pattern with CDC where suitable
  4. Modernize to an appropriately configured Amazon Aurora cluster with multi-AZ storage and tested failover

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Aurora offers managed high availability features for supported relational engines. The required architecture outcome is: A legacy database must meet high transactional availability and can accept conversion to an Aurora-compatible engine. Validate this choice by checking that A controlled writer failure maintains recoverable transactional access after cluster endpoint reconnection.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Always-on monolith capacity is required merely to handle infrequent independent endpoints. The specific problem here is that application reliability still depends on one unmanaged database host and manual restores.

B:

Developers assume SQS has identical JMS or broker feature semantics to the source stack. The specific problem here is that application reliability still depends on one unmanaged database host and manual restores.

C:

Complex heterogeneous schema conversion was selected unnecessarily for a same-engine migration. The specific problem here is that application reliability still depends on one unmanaged database host and manual restores.

Question 66

For the enterprise requirement "An internet service must survive one Availability Zone failure while adjusting to fluctuating weekday usage", the team implemented this change: Use an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling groups spanning multiple AZs and health checks. Which test result proves this architecture satisfies its stated constraint?

  1. A primary health-check failure leads subsequent name resolutions toward the healthy backup Region
  2. Read latency and writer CPU improve under reporting load without routing writes to read replicas
  3. A simulated transient error is retried according to policy and a persistent error follows a defined failure branch
  4. Terminating all instances in one zone leaves healthy targets and Auto Scaling replaces lost capacity

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

This measures the behavior required by the specific solution, rather than simply checking that it was configured. Multi-AZ target placement and health-driven scaling provide elastic zonal resilience. The acceptance condition is linked directly to the scenario: An internet service must survive one Availability Zone failure while adjusting to fluctuating weekday usage.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A primary health-check failure leads subsequent name resolutions toward the healthy backup Region. However, this does not establish the required outcome: terminating all instances in one zone leaves healthy targets and Auto Scaling replaces lost capacity.

B:

Read latency and writer CPU improve under reporting load without routing writes to read replicas. However, this does not establish the required outcome: terminating all instances in one zone leaves healthy targets and Auto Scaling replaces lost capacity.

C:

A simulated transient error is retried according to policy and a persistent error follows a defined failure branch. However, this does not establish the required outcome: terminating all instances in one zone leaves healthy targets and Auto Scaling replaces lost capacity.

Question 67

A professional architect is reviewing two independent workstreams. Requirement A: Business records must remain tamper-resistant during the retention period even if a security administrator compromises a backup account. Requirement B: An EC2 application requires private access to AWS Secrets Manager and S3 without traversing public network routes. Which TWO responses resolve the stated issues without substituting unrelated mechanisms?

  1. Configure protected AWS Backup Vault Lock compliance settings with appropriate retention and access governance
  2. Use the applicable interface and gateway VPC endpoints and restrict endpoint policies and subnet routes as needed
  3. Implement a tested backup-and-restore disaster recovery pattern with documented recovery runbooks
  4. Evaluate EFS throughput and performance modes and provision an appropriate supported throughput setting
  5. Evaluate AWS Shield Advanced with supported resource protection and runbooks alongside layered edge controls

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

This action meets the independently stated requirement A: Business records must remain tamper-resistant during the retention period even if a security administrator compromises a backup account. Backup Vault Lock compliance controls can enforce retained recovery-point immutability. A direct acceptance check is: An unauthorized attempt to delete a protected recovery point is denied before retention expires.

B:

This action meets the independently stated requirement B: An EC2 application requires private access to AWS Secrets Manager and S3 without traversing public network routes. VPC endpoints provide private connectivity to supported AWS services inside defined network and policy controls. A direct acceptance check is: Cloud instances access approved services privately while disallowed API paths are rejected.

Incorrect Answers

C:

This action targets a different technical need: A noncritical archive service has a 24-hour RTO and may restore its configuration and data from protected backups. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. Backup-and-restore DR suits longer RTO targets when restore execution is practiced; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.

D:

This action targets a different technical need: A shared EFS file system slows a data-processing batch even though compute workers are mostly idle. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. EFS throughput characteristics must match concurrent IO patterns and required sustained rate; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.

E:

This action targets a different technical need: A revenue-critical public endpoint requires proactive DDoS response coordination and protected eligible application resources. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. Shield Advanced adds advanced DDoS protection and response support for supported resources; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.

Question 68

An architecture review recommends this solution: Move the suitable multi-step orchestration into Step Functions with named states, bounded retries and error paths. The motivating situation is: A brittle order-processing script has nested retries and no durable checkpoint between separate workflow steps. Which architectural reasoning is most accurate for the choice?

  1. Config rules can invoke automations for selected remediable configuration noncompliance
  2. Meaningful dashboards align telemetry with system service boundaries and indicators
  3. State machines improve auditability when state transitions and idempotency are designed
  4. DynamoDB throughput requires sufficient mode capacity and key-distribution design

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

This principle explains why the prescribed control is appropriate for the described requirement. The matching design action is: Move the suitable multi-step orchestration into Step Functions with named states, bounded retries and error paths. The expected supporting evidence is: A retry resumes the failed state without independently rerunning successful steps and errors are visible in execution history.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Config findings are left as unactioned notifications while risky drift remains exposed. The stated evidence instead indicates: Untracked imperative orchestration repeats previous side effects after transient failures.

B:

Metrics and logs are not organized into actionable per-service operational signals. The stated evidence instead indicates: Untracked imperative orchestration repeats previous side effects after transient failures.

D:

Capacity planning ignores demand spikes or hot keys that concentrate requests. The stated evidence instead indicates: Untracked imperative orchestration repeats previous side effects after transient failures.

Question 69

A deployed environment still does not meet the original requirement: A bucket policy accidentally grants an external AWS account access and the owner needs a provable cross-account finding. Which failure mechanism should the team correct?

  1. Individual Security Hub instances were not centrally delegated or aggregated
  2. Individual IAM users were being created per account instead of using centralized workforce federation
  3. Resource policies were never checked for access beyond the organization's trust boundary
  4. The team relies exclusively on retrospective end-of-month billing statements

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

This is the technical design error aligned with the unmet requirement. IAM Access Analyzer analyzes resource-based policies for external access outside the chosen trust zone. The appropriate correction is: Enable IAM Access Analyzer for the relevant zone of trust and evaluate the external-access finding. The control should then be tested by verifying that The analyzer identifies the unexpected external principal and the finding clears after policy correction.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Individual Security Hub instances were not centrally delegated or aggregated. The stated evidence instead indicates: Resource policies were never checked for access beyond the organization's trust boundary.

B:

Individual IAM users were being created per account instead of using centralized workforce federation. The stated evidence instead indicates: Resource policies were never checked for access beyond the organization's trust boundary.

D:

The team relies exclusively on retrospective end-of-month billing statements. The stated evidence instead indicates: Resource policies were never checked for access beyond the organization's trust boundary.

Question 70

A professional architect is reviewing two independent workstreams. Requirement A: A global media site sends repeated uncached misses to an expensive origin even with widespread CloudFront edge caches. Requirement B: A production deployment causes an outage because all old tasks were removed before new code passed tests. Select TWO actions, one for each independently scoped requirement.

  1. Introduce a blue-green deployment strategy with health alarms and traffic rollback
  2. Configure and verify Route 53 failover records with endpoint health checks and explicit secondary routing
  3. Add an appropriate CloudFront Origin Shield layer and adjust origin caching strategy
  4. Inventory unattached EBS volumes and delete or archive approved volumes after snapshot and ownership checks
  5. Select an appropriate EBS gp3 volume with independently provisioned performance settings and test application throughput

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

This action meets the independently stated requirement B: A production deployment causes an outage because all old tasks were removed before new code passed tests. Blue-green promotion protects a known-good environment until replacement quality is established. A direct acceptance check is: New instances become healthy before major traffic shift and rollback restores the previous code path.

C:

This action meets the independently stated requirement A: A global media site sends repeated uncached misses to an expensive origin even with widespread CloudFront edge caches. CloudFront Origin Shield can consolidate cache misses through an additional regional layer. A direct acceptance check is: Origin request count drops under a multi-edge cache miss test while freshness remains correct.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This action targets a different technical need: Two Regions are deployed but customer requests stay routed to the failed primary endpoint indefinitely. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. DNS failover needs a health-signal and routing policy that actually switches answers; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.

D:

This action targets a different technical need: Operations retains detached EBS volumes after instance termination and pays for unused storage for months. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. EBS storage billing continues for allocated volumes until they are deleted or otherwise changed; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.

E:

This action targets a different technical need: An EC2 application needs sustained random IOPS independent of EBS volume storage-size growth. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. gp3 separates baseline volume storage size from configurable IOPS and throughput within limits; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
