A solutions architect is investigating AWS file storage solutions that can be used with a company's on-premises Linux servers and applications. The company has an existing VPN connection set up between the company's VPC and its on-premises network.
Which AWS services should the solutions architect use? (Select TWO )
A company is using Amazon CloudFront with lis website. The company has enabled logging on the CloudFront distribution, and togs are saved in one of the company's Amazon S3 buckets The company needs to perform advanced analyses on the logs and build visualizations
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements'?
A company is planning to migrate to AWS. The network layout will include more than 1.000 VPCs in a single AWS Region The resources in the VPCs need to communicate with each other
What should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?
A solutions architect at an ecommerce company wants to back up application log data to Amazon S3. The solutions architect is unsure how frequently the logs will be accessed of which logs will be accessed the most. The company wants to keep costs as low as possible by using the appropriate S3 storage class

A solutions architect needs to connect a company's corporate network to its VPC to allow on-premises access to its AWS resources. The solution must provide encryption of all traffic between the corporate network and the VPC at the network layer and the session layer. The solution also must provide security controls to prevent unrestricted access between AWS and the on-premises systems.
Which solution meets these requirements?
A company wants to use high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure on AWS for financial risk modelling. The company's HPC workloads run on Linux. Each HPC workflow runs on hundreds of Amazon EC2 Spot Instances, is short-lived, and generates thousands of output files that are ultimately stored in persistent storage for analytics and long-term future use.
The company seeks a cloud storage solution that permits the copying of on-premises data to long-term persistent storage to make data available for processing by all EC2 instances. The solution should also be a high performance file system that is integrated with persistent storage to read and write datasets and output files
Which combination of AWS services meets these requirements?
A company has a remote factory that has unreliable connectivity. The factory needs to gather and process machine data and sensor data so that it can sense products on its conveyor belts and initiate a robotic movement to direct the products to the right location Predictable low-latency compute processing is essential for the on-premises control systems
Which solution should the factory use to process the data?
A company is developing a video conversion application hosted on AWS The application will be available in two tiers: a free tier and a paid tier. Users in the paid tier will have their videos converted first and then the free tier users will have their videos converted
