Questions 10 to 12

Question 10

A solutions architect is designing a new service that will use an Amazon API Gateway API on the frontend. The service will need to persist data in a backend database using key-value requests. Initially, the data requirements will be around 1 GB. Future growth is unknown. Requests can range from 0 to over 800 requests per second.

Which combination of AWS services would meet these requirements? (Select TWO)

1. AWS Fargate
2. AWS Lambda
3. Amazon DynamoDB
4. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling
5. Amazon RDS

Correct Answer: 2, 3

Explanation: In this case, AWS Lambda can perform the computation and store the data in an Amazon DynamoDB table. Lambda can scale concurrent executions to meet demand easily and DynamoDB is built for key-value data storage requirements and is also serverless and easily scalable. Therefore, this is a cost-effective solution for unpredictable workloads.

INCORRECT: “AWS Fargate” is incorrect because containers run constantly and therefore, incur costs even when no requests are being made.

CORRECT: “AWS Lambda” is a correct answer.

CORRECT: “Amazon DynamoDB” is the second correct answer.

INCORRECT: “Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling” is incorrect as this uses EC2 instances, which will incur costs even when no requests are being made.

INCORRECT: “Amazon RDS” is incorrect as this is a relational database and not a No-SQL database. Therefore it is not suitable for key-value data storage requirements.
