A social media company wants to allow its users to upload images in an application that is hosted in the AWS Cloud. The company needs a solution that automatically resizes the images so that the images can be displayed on multiple device types. The application experiences unpredictable traffic patterns throughout the day. The company is seeking a highly available solution that maximizes scalability.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements?
By using Amazon S3 and AWS Lambda together, you can create a serverless architecture that provides highly scalable and available image resizing capabilities. Here's how the solution would work: Set up an Amazon S3 bucket to store the original images uploaded by users. Configure an event trigger on the S3 bucket to invoke an AWS Lambda function whenever a new image is uploaded. The Lambda function can be designed to retrieve the uploaded image, perform the necessary resizing operations based on device requirements, and store the resized images back in the S3 bucket or a different bucket designated for resized images. Configure the Amazon S3 bucket to make the resized images publicly accessible for serving to users.
