Question 91 (Topic 1)

A company runs its application by using Amazon EC2 instances and AWS Lambda functions. The EC2 instances run in private subnets of a VPC. The Lambda functions need direct network access to the EC2 instances for the application to work. The application will run for 1 year. The number of Lambda functions that the application uses will increase during the 1-year period. The company must minimize costs on all application resources. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○ Purchase an EC2 Instance Savings Plan. Connect the Lambda functions to the private subnets that contain the EC2 instances.
○ Purchase an EC2 Instance Savings Plan. Connect the Lambda functions to new public subnets in the same VPC where the EC2 instances run.
○ Purchase a Compute Savings Plan. Connect the Lambda functions to the private subnets that contain the EC2 instances.
○ Purchase a Compute Savings Plan. Keep the Lambda functions in the Lambda service VPC.

Reference / correct answer:

Purchase a Compute Savings Plan. Connect the Lambda functions to the private subnets that contain the EC2 instances.

Most accepted answer: C. Purchase a Compute Savings Plan. Connect the Lambda functions to the private subnets that contain the EC2 instances.

Community votes: A=1, C=4, D=1

Selected Answer: C Compute Savings Plan: This plan offers significant discounts on Lambda functions compared to on-demand pricing. Since the application will run for a year, a sustained use discount like Compute Savings Plan is ideal. Private Subnets: Lambda functions in private subnets can directly access EC2 instances within the VPC without needing internet access, reducing security risks and potential egress costs. upvoted 7 times

Selected Answer: C Compute Savings Plans provide the most flexibility and help to reduce your costs by up to 66%. These plans automatically apply to EC2 instance usage regardless of instance family, size, AZ, Region, OS or tenancy, and also apply to Fargate or Lambda usage. For example, with Compute Savings Plans, you can change from C4 to M5 instances, shift a workload from EU (Ireland) to EU (London), or move a workload from EC2 to Fargate or Lambda at any time and automatically continue to pay the Savings Plans price. upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: C Why Compute Savings Plan: Covers both EC2 and Lambda, providing flexibility as Lambda usage increases. Why Private Subnets: Ensures network access between Lambda and EC2 instances. !! An EC2 Instance Savings Plan doesn't cover Lambda. Also, Lambda functions in public subnets cannot directly communicate with EC2 instances in private subnets. upvoted 2 times

A and B is not because it is talkign about EC2, but the question is asking for Lambda upvoted 2 times

Selected Answer: C Compute savings include lamdba and EC2, Ec2 savings only EC2 instances. https://aws.amazon.com/savingsplans/compute-pricing/ upvoted 2 times

Question 92 (Topic 1)

A company hosts a website on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The website serves static content. Website traffic is increasing. The company wants to minimize the website hosting costs. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○ Move the website to an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the S3 bucket.
○ Move the website to an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure an Amazon ElastiCache cluster for the S3 bucket.
○ Move the website to AWS Amplify. Configure an ALB to resolve to the Amplify website.
○ Move the website to AWS Amplify. Configure EC2 instances to cache the website.

Reference / correct answer:

Move the website to an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the S3 bucket.

Most accepted answer: A. Move the website to an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure an Amazon CloudFront distribution for the S3 bucket.

Community votes: A=7, B=3

Selected Answer: A Answer A Based on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/getting-started-secure-static-website-cloudformation-template.html Amazon CloudFront: Uses the durable storage of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) – This solution creates an Amazon S3 bucket to host your static website’s content. To update your website, just upload your new files to the S3 bucket. upvoted 9 times

Selected Answer: A I don't think anyone has mentioned it, but cloudfront helps reduce costs. If you want to use ElastiCache, it is possible but incredibly difficult, the question asks to reduce costs and cloudfront is cheaper than ElastiCache. upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: A A vs B -> A. Because Elsticache is for DB, not for S3. upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: A A. but questions should specify it is static or dynamic website upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: A Why??? Guys, you'll fail the others. Don't troll or believe everything chatgpt says... 😕 The question indicates "The website serves static content", why would you use elasticache for it? It may work, but it'll take a helluva effort. S3 and CloudFront is straightforward and simple. Not only that, it also works great for static content. It's AWS's cdn. It can also serve dynamic content, but that's out of scope for this question. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/getting-started-secure-static-website-cloudformation-template.html upvoted 2 times
