Amazon DOP-C02 Exam - Topic 4 Question 51 Discussion

A company requires that its internally facing web application be highly available. The architecture is made up of one Amazon EC2 web server instance and one NAT instance that provides outbound internet access for updates and accessing public data.Which combination of architecture adjustments should the company implement to achieve high availability? (Choose two.)
B) Create additional EC2 instances spanning multiple Availability Zones. Add an Application Load Balancer to split the load between them. and D) Replace the NAT instance with a NAT gateway in each Availability Zone. Update the route tables.
A) Add the NAT instance to an EC2 Auto Scaling group that spans multiple Availability Zones. Update the route tables.
C) Configure an Application Load Balancer in front of the EC2 instance. Configure Amazon CloudWatch alarms to recover the EC2 instance upon host failure.
E) Replace the NAT instance with a NAT gateway that spans multiple Availability Zones. Update the route tables.

I feel like option D makes sense because it talks about having a NAT gateway in each Availability Zone, but I’m not sure if that's the best approach compared to option E.

I think replacing the NAT instance with a NAT gateway is crucial, but I can't recall if it should span multiple Availability Zones or just one.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option C might be relevant since it mentions an Application Load Balancer, which we practiced in class.

Replacing the NAT instance with a multi-AZ NAT gateway seems like a good way to improve redundancy. I'll make sure to pair that with the web server changes.

The CloudWatch alarm option sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach for high availability. I'll need to think that one through a bit more.

Okay, I think I've got it. Adding the NAT instance to an Auto Scaling group and creating additional web servers with a load balancer should do the trick.
