Question 660

A decision record states that the primary objective is to identify positive negative or neutral tone in a document. Which AWS offering or principle should it name?

  1. AWS Glue
  2. Amazon Textract
  3. Amazon Polly
  4. Text sentiment classification

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Text sentiment classification matches the goal to identify positive negative or neutral tone in a document because managed NLP sentiment analysis assesses the emotional polarity of text. Speech recognition and language translation answer different questions. Amazon Polly is for the different objective to convert written text into natural-sounding spoken audio.

Incorrect Answers

A:

AWS Glue addresses the separate need to discover prepare and integrate data across supported sources because glue provides data integration workflows and a metadata Data Catalog; it is not as direct as Text sentiment classification for the actual requirement to identify positive negative or neutral tone in a document.

B:

Amazon Textract addresses the separate need to extract printed and handwritten text and document structure because textract reads forms tables and text from supported document inputs; it is not as direct as Text sentiment classification for the actual requirement to identify positive negative or neutral tone in a document.

C:

Amazon Polly addresses the separate need to convert written text into natural-sounding spoken audio because polly provides text-to-speech generation for applications; it is not as direct as Text sentiment classification for the actual requirement to identify positive negative or neutral tone in a document.

Question 661

An AWS implementation has already addressed cache frequently accessed application data in memory by using Amazon ElastiCache. Its remaining gap is to use a cloud-optimized relational engine compatible with MySQL or PostgreSQL. Which listed capability closes this gap?

  1. Amazon Aurora
  2. Database on Amazon EC2
  3. Amazon DocumentDB
  4. Amazon ElastiCache

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Amazon Aurora addresses the new need to use a cloud-optimized relational engine compatible with MySQL or PostgreSQL because aurora is a managed relational database with distributed storage and supported compatibility modes; Amazon ElastiCache supports the different existing task to cache frequently accessed application data in memory.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Database on Amazon EC2 is intended to retain direct control of database host OS and engine installation because self-managing a database on EC2 leaves patching, backups and high availability largely to the customer; in this design the new outcome is to use a cloud-optimized relational engine compatible with MySQL or PostgreSQL, which calls for Amazon Aurora rather than Database on Amazon EC2 or the earlier Amazon ElastiCache.

C:

Amazon DocumentDB is intended to run JSON document workloads using MongoDB-compatible APIs because documentDB offers managed document database capabilities for suitable MongoDB workloads; in this design the new outcome is to use a cloud-optimized relational engine compatible with MySQL or PostgreSQL, which calls for Amazon Aurora rather than Amazon DocumentDB or the earlier Amazon ElastiCache.

D:

Amazon ElastiCache primarily supports the earlier need to cache frequently accessed application data in memory because elastiCache offers managed in-memory caching engines to reduce repetitive backend reads, but the new task is to use a cloud-optimized relational engine compatible with MySQL or PostgreSQL; that is why Amazon Aurora is preferable here.

Incorrect Answers

B:

AWS service APIs addresses a different objective, to interact programmatically with AWS using supported service requests, because AWS APIs expose actions and resource operations through defined programmatic interfaces; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to inspect selected operational measurements in one view; recreate multi-resource infrastructure from versioned templates.

C:

AWS Elastic Beanstalk addresses a different objective, to deploy application code with managed environment provisioning, because elastic Beanstalk orchestrates supporting AWS resources for supported web application platforms; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to inspect selected operational measurements in one view; recreate multi-resource infrastructure from versioned templates.

D:

AWS Systems Manager addresses a different objective, to manage operational tasks across supported compute fleets, because systems Manager provides inventory, automation, patching and remote operational capabilities; the checklist instead requires the distinct outcomes to inspect selected operational measurements in one view; recreate multi-resource infrastructure from versioned templates.

Question 663

A platform engineering team has been asked to orchestrate containerized applications using AWS-managed control capabilities. Which AWS service, capability, or concept most directly meets the stated need?

  1. AWS Elastic Beanstalk
  2. Network Load Balancer
  3. Amazon ECS
  4. Compute optimized EC2 instance

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Amazon ECS matches the goal to orchestrate containerized applications using AWS-managed control capabilities because eCS schedules and manages containers in clusters on supported launch types. ECS is container orchestration, not a container image registry. Compute optimized EC2 instance is for the different objective to provide comparatively more CPU resources for CPU-intensive applications.

Incorrect Answers

A:

AWS Elastic Beanstalk addresses the separate need to deploy supported applications while the platform provisions common resources because elastic Beanstalk simplifies web-app deployment and orchestrates the supporting AWS components; it is not as direct as Amazon ECS for the actual requirement to orchestrate containerized applications using AWS-managed control capabilities.

B:

Network Load Balancer addresses the separate need to handle high-performance connection-level TCP or UDP traffic because nLB routes connections at the transport layer and supports static IP behavior; it is not as direct as Amazon ECS for the actual requirement to orchestrate containerized applications using AWS-managed control capabilities.

D:

Compute optimized EC2 instance addresses the separate need to provide comparatively more CPU resources for CPU-intensive applications because compute-optimized instance families emphasize processing power for compute-bound tasks; it is not as direct as Amazon ECS for the actual requirement to orchestrate containerized applications using AWS-managed control capabilities.

Question 664

A project owner needs a practical way to reduce correlated failures between redundant service nodes. Which selection most closely aligns with that objective?

  1. Route 53 failover routing
  2. Availability Zone
  3. Content delivery latency
  4. AZ failure-domain separation

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

AZ failure-domain separation matches the goal to reduce correlated failures between redundant service nodes because independent power, networking and facility boundaries help isolate Availability Zones. Resources in one AZ remain susceptible to that AZ's disruption. Content delivery latency is for the different objective to reduce time to download reusable web assets in different countries.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Route 53 failover routing addresses the separate need to redirect DNS responses when monitored endpoint health changes because Route 53 health checks and failover policies can influence which healthy target a client resolves; it is not as direct as AZ failure-domain separation for the actual requirement to reduce correlated failures between redundant service nodes.

B:

Availability Zone addresses the separate need to separate redundant application components across isolated facilities within one Region because an Availability Zone is one or more discrete data centers with independent infrastructure in a Region; it is not as direct as AZ failure-domain separation for the actual requirement to reduce correlated failures between redundant service nodes.

C:

Content delivery latency addresses the separate need to reduce time to download reusable web assets in different countries because cDN caching stores content nearer viewers and lowers repeat retrieval distance; it is not as direct as AZ failure-domain separation for the actual requirement to reduce correlated failures between redundant service nodes.

Question 665

During the global architecture review, the requirement is to locate dynamic application backends nearer a customer population. Which option best addresses that exact requirement?

  1. Low-latency regional placement
  2. Multi-Region architecture
  3. Amazon CloudFront
  4. Regional service availability check

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Low-latency regional placement matches the goal to locate dynamic application backends nearer a customer population because deploying compute and data in an appropriate Region can reduce geographic round-trip latency. An edge cache mainly accelerates cacheable delivery, not every backend transaction. Regional service availability check is for the different objective to verify a particular offering is available in the chosen Region.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Multi-Region architecture addresses the separate need to address disaster recovery or geography-spanning application availability because deploying and replicating across Regions can isolate regional failures and serve separate markets; it is not as direct as Low-latency regional placement for the actual requirement to locate dynamic application backends nearer a customer population.

C:

Amazon CloudFront addresses the separate need to cache web content at distributed edge locations near viewers because cloudFront is a content delivery network that caches eligible content at global edge sites; it is not as direct as Low-latency regional placement for the actual requirement to locate dynamic application backends nearer a customer population.

D:

Regional service availability check addresses the separate need to verify a particular offering is available in the chosen Region because AWS service availability varies by Region and sometimes by instance family or feature; it is not as direct as Low-latency regional placement for the actual requirement to locate dynamic application backends nearer a customer population.

  1. AWS Management Console
  2. AWS Outposts
  3. Hybrid cloud deployment
  4. AWS CodeBuild

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

AWS CodeBuild addresses the new need to compile and test software in a managed build environment because codeBuild runs build and test commands without operating dedicated build servers; Hybrid cloud deployment supports the different existing task to retain some local systems while extending selected workloads into AWS.

Incorrect Answers

A:

AWS Management Console is intended to perform occasional AWS administration through a browser interface because the console provides graphical pages to view and configure AWS resources; in this design the new outcome is to compile and test software in a managed build environment, which calls for AWS CodeBuild rather than AWS Management Console or the earlier Hybrid cloud deployment.

B:

AWS Outposts is intended to run AWS-managed infrastructure at a customer premises for local requirements because outposts extends selected AWS infrastructure and services to supported on-premises locations; in this design the new outcome is to compile and test software in a managed build environment, which calls for AWS CodeBuild rather than AWS Outposts or the earlier Hybrid cloud deployment.

C:

Hybrid cloud deployment primarily supports the earlier need to retain some local systems while extending selected workloads into AWS because hybrid environments combine on-premises resources with cloud services and connectivity, but the new task is to compile and test software in a managed build environment; that is why AWS CodeBuild is preferable here.
