AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 129

Question

A company is running a multi-tier web application on premises. The web application is containerized and runs on a number of Linux hosts connected to a PostgreSQL database that contains user records. The operational overhead of maintaining the infrastructure and capacity planning is limiting the company's growth. A solutions architect must improve the application's infrastructure. Which combination of actions should the solutions architect take to accomplish this? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A, E. The correct answer is A, E. Option A: Migrate the PostgreSQL database to Amazon Aurora. Option E: Migrate the web application to be hosted on AWS Fargate with Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). AWS Fargate runs containers serverlessly so there are no EC2 hosts to manage or patch. Amazon ECS orchestrates containers and integrates natively with AWS networking and IAM. Amazon Aurora is a high-performance managed relational database with built-in replication and failover.
