A company is using an Amazon EMR cluster to run its big data jobs The cluster's jobs are invoked by AWS Step Functions Express Workflows that consume various Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queues The workload of this solution is variable and unpredictable Amazon CloudWatch metrics show that the cluster's peak utilization is only 25% at times and that the cluster sits idle the rest of the time
A solutions architect must optimize the costs of the cluster without negatively impacting the time it takes to run the various jobs
What is the MOST cost-effective solution that meets these requirements?
Correct Answer:
B

A greeting card company recently advertised that customers could send cards to their favourite celebrities through the company's platform Since the advertisement was published, the platform has received constant traffic from 10.000 unique users each second.
The platform runs on m5.xlarge Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) The instances run in an Auto Scaling group and use a custom AMI that is based on Amazon Linux. The platform uses a highly available Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster that uses primary and reader endpoints The platform also uses an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster that uses its cluster endpoint
The platform generates a new process for each customer and holds open database connections to MySQL for the duration of each customer's session However, resource usage for the platform is low.
Many customers are reporting errors when they connect to the platform Logs show that connections to the Aurora database are failing Amazon CloudWatch metrics show that the CPU load is tow across the platform and that connections to the platform are successful through the ALB.
Which solution will remediate the errors MOST cost-effectively?
Correct Answer:
C
