## Summary

An AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) exam practice question asking which two steps a solutions architect should take to provide highly available storage for a gaming company's application on AWS. The scenario involves EC2 Windows Server instances behind an ALB, with both static files and dynamic server-side code to store. Answer options cover S3, CloudFront, ElastiCache, EFS, FSx for Windows File Server, and EBS, with brief definitions of each service provided.

AWS SAA-C03 · Question #7

A gaming company is moving its public scoreboard from a data center to the AWS Cloud. The company uses Amazon EC2 Windows Server instances behind an Application Load Balancer to host its dynamic application. The company needs a highly available storage solution for the application. The application consists of static files and dynamic server-side code.

Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

A) Store the static files on Amazon S3. Use Amazon CloudFront to cache objects at the edge.

B) Store the static files on Amazon S3. Use Amazon ElastiCache to cache objects at the edge.

C) Store the server-side code on Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). Mount the EFS volume on each EC2 instance to share the files.

D) Store the server-side code on Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. Mount the FSx for Windows File Server volume on each EC2 instance to share the files.

E) Store the server-side code on a General Purpose SSD (gp2) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. Mount the EBS volume on each EC2 instance to share the files.

Terms:

• EC2 — virtual server — you own the OS, patching and scaling

• ELB/ALB/NLB — load balancer — ALB routes on HTTP host/path, NLB works at TCP/UDP with static IPs and very low latency

• S3 — object storage — not a file system; unlimited capacity, 11 nines of durability

• CloudFront — CDN — caches content at the edge, cutting origin load and user latency

• ElastiCache — managed Redis/Memcached — cache in front of the database, microsecond latency

• EFS — managed NFS — mounted by many instances across AZs at once, grows elastically
