A company is planning to migrate to the AWS Cloud. The company hosts many applications on Windows servers and Linux servers. Some of the servers are physical, and some of the servers are virtual. The company uses several types of databases in its on-premises environment. The company does not have an accurate inventory of its on-premises servers and applications.

A company runs an application on AWS. The company curates data from several different sources. The company uses proprietary algorithms to perform data transformations and aggregations. After the company performs E TL processes, the company stores the results in Amazon Redshift tables. The company sells this data to other companies. The company downloads the data as files from the Amazon Redshift tables and transmits the files to several data customers by using FTP. The number of data customers has grown significantly. Management of the data customers has become difficult.
The company will use AWS Data Exchange to create a data product that the company can use to share data with customers. The company wants to confirm the identities of the customers before the company shares data. The customers also need access to the most recent data when the company publishes the data.

A company has a website that serves many visitors. The company deploys a backend service for the website in a primary AWS Region and a disaster recovery (DR) Region.
A single Amazon CloudFront distribution is deployed for the website. The company creates an Amazon Route 53 record set with health checks and a failover routing policy for the primary Region's backend service. The company configures the Route 53 record set as an origin for the CloudFront distribution. The company configures another record set that points to the backend service's endpoint in the DR Region as a secondary failover record type. The TTL for both record sets is 60 seconds.
Currently, failover takes more than 1 minute. A solutions architect must design a solution that will provide the fastest failover time.

A company has implemented an ordering system using an event-driven architecture. During initial testing, the system stopped processing orders. Further log analysis revealed that one order message in an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) standard queue was causing an error on the backend and blocking all subsequentorder messages The visibility timeout of the queue is set to 30 seconds, and the backend processing timeout is set to 10 seconds. A solutions architect needs to analyze faulty order messages and ensure that the system continues to process subsequent messages.

A company built an ecommerce website on AWS using a three-tier web architecture. The application is Java-based and composed of an Amazon CloudFront distribution, an Apache web server layer of Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group, and a backend Amazon Aurora MySQL database.
Last month, during a promotional sales event, users reported errors and timeouts while adding items to their shopping carts. The operations team recovered the logs created by the web servers and reviewed Aurora DB cluster performance metrics. Some of the web servers were terminated before logs could be collected and the Aurora metrics were not sufficient for query performance analysis.
