Amazon SAA-C03 Exam - Topic 1 Question 37 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAA-C03 exam

Question #: 37
Topic #: 1

A company's near-real-time streaming application is running on AWS. As the data is ingested, a Job runs on the data and takes 30 minutes to complete. The workload frequently experiences high latency due to large amounts of incoming dat

a. A solutions architect needs to design a scalable and serverless solution to enhance performance.

Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take? (Select TWO.)

AUse Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to Ingest the data.

BUse AWS Lambda with AWS Step Functions to process the data.

CUse AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to ingest the data

DUse Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Seating group to process the data.

EUse AWS Fargate with Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to process the data.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A: How do you protect your data in transit?

Best Practices:

Implement secure key and certificate management: Store encryption keys and certificates securely and rotate them at appropriate time intervals while applying strict access control; for example, by using a certificate management service, such as AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).

Enforce encryption in transit: Enforce your defined encryption requirements based on appropriate standards and recommendations to help you meet your organizational, legal, and compliance requirements.

Automate detection of unintended data access: Use tools such as GuardDuty to automatically detect attempts to move data outside of defined boundaries based on data classification level, for example, to detect a trojan that is copying data to an unknown or untrusted network using the DNS protocol.

Authenticate network communications: Verify the identity of communications by using protocols that support authentication, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) or IPsec.

A and B sound right, but I’m surprised D is even an option here.

Wait, why would you use EC2? Seems outdated for this scenario.

Definitely go with A and B for serverless!

I vaguely recall that AWS DMS is more for database migrations, so I don't think that's the right fit here.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where EC2 was mentioned, but it doesn't seem serverless enough for this case.

I think Kinesis Data Firehose is definitely a good choice for ingestion, but I’m torn between Lambda and Fargate for processing.

I remember we discussed using AWS Lambda for serverless processing, but I'm not sure if Step Functions are necessary for this scenario.

This seems straightforward. I'd go with Kinesis Data Firehose for ingestion and Lambda with Step Functions to handle the processing. That's a classic serverless architecture that should scale well and improve performance. I'm confident I can put together a solid solution for this.

Okay, I've got a plan. I'd use Kinesis Data Firehose to ingest the data, since it's designed for real-time streaming. Then I'd leverage Lambda and Step Functions to process the data in a scalable, serverless way. That should help address the high latency issue.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm a bit confused about the difference between Kinesis Data Firehose and DMS. And I'm not sure if EC2 Auto Scaling or Fargate would be the best approach for a serverless solution. I'll need to review my AWS service knowledge before attempting this.

This looks like a classic AWS architecture design question. I'd start by thinking about the key requirements - scalable, serverless, and enhanced performance. Kinesis Data Firehose and Lambda with Step Functions seem like good options to explore.

Wait, what about the e-commerce site listing fees and web development costs? Aren't those important factors to consider when determining the overall campaign costs? I'm a bit confused about what information is truly necessary here.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Should I focus more on the impact and flow of the incident or the underlying risk factors? I'll need to think through the best approach to address all the key components.

Haha, I bet the solutions architect is tired of dealing with all these streaming data issues. At least they've got a good set of AWS tools to choose from!

Auto Scaling EC2 instances? That's just going to add more complexity than necessary. I'd rather go with the fully managed services like Lambda and Fargate.

Wait, why would we use DMS here? That's for database migrations, not real-time streaming. I'd steer clear of that option if I were you.

Hmm, I think options B and E make the most sense here. Serverless Lambda and Fargate should be able to handle the scalability and performance requirements.
