    Study Notes

    AWS Solutions for Various Use Cases

    • Credential Rotation (Question #13): Store credentials as secrets in AWS Secrets Manager, utilize multi-region secret replication, and configure Secrets Manager for scheduled rotation. This method minimizes operational overhead.

    • Database Scaling (Question #14): Use Amazon Aurora with Multi-AZ deployment and Aurora Auto Scaling with Aurora Replicas for automatic scaling of read workloads and high availability.

    • Product Manager Access (Question #27): Create an IAM user with the ViewOnlyAccess managed policy, share login credentials, and direct the product manager to locate the CloudWatch dashboard by name.

    • SSO Across Accounts (Question #28): Use AWS Single Sign-On (AWS SSO) and create a one-way forest trust or a one-way domain trust to connect the on-premises Microsoft Active Directory with AWS SSO using AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory.

    • VoIP Service with Failover (Question #29): Deploy a Network Load Balancer (NLB) with an associated target group, associating the target group with the Auto Scaling group, and employing the NLB as an AWS Global Accelerator endpoint in each region. This provides low latency routing and automated failover to the region with the lowest latency.

    • Least Cost Effective Website Hosting (Question #32): Hosting a static website in an Amazon S3 bucket is the most cost-effective method.

    • Scalable Transaction Processing (Question #33): Stream transactions to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, storing data in Amazon DynamoDB and S3, and use Lambda integration with Kinesis Data Firehose to remove sensitive data. This lets other applications consume the data stored in Amazon S3.

    • Remote Instance Administration (Question #37): Utilize AWS Systems Manager Session Manager to create an SSH session; this method adheres to the AWS Well-Architected Framework and minimizes operational overhead

    • Static Website Latency Optimization (Question #38): Deploy an Amazon CloudFront distribution in front of the S3 bucket. This solution addresses latency issues and optimizes cost-effectively.

    • Searchable Repository (Question #39): To improve the performance of a repository with 10 million rows and 2 TB of data in an Amazon RDS for MySQL database, consider additional actions like indexing, query optimization, or using a more appropriate database for analytical purposes. This question lacks a clearly optimal solution.

    • PII Detection and Remediation (Question #46): Use Amazon Macie to scan objects in an Amazon S3 bucket for personally identifiable information (PII). If PII is detected, Amazon SNS triggers a notification and directs administrators to remove the data or implement further remediation steps.

    • Scalable Job Processing (Question #81): Utilize an Amazon SQS queue to hold jobs that need processing. Using an Auto Scaling group scales based on the queue length.

    • Certificate Expiration Notifications (Question #82): Configure an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule that detects certificates expiring in 30 days. This rule invokes an AWS Lambda function, sending a notification via Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).

    Key Concepts for AWS Solutions

    • IAM Roles: Attaching appropriate IAM roles to instances for secure administration.
    • Secrets Manager: Securely storing and managing sensitive credentials.
    • Multi-AZ Deployments: Enhanced availability via multiple Availability Zones.
    • Scalability: Architecting for increasing workloads, such as with Auto Scaling.
    • Monitoring: Utilizing services for collecting and analyzing data (e.g., CloudWatch).
    • Security: Procedures for protecting sensitive data (e.g., encryption of data).
    • Cost optimization: Strategies to make the system cost-effective and efficient.
    • High Availability: Setting up systems to continue functioning even with failures.
    • Fault tolerance: Restoring a failing system, ensuring business continuity.
