   A manufacturing company uses a legacy ERP system that communicates via flat files over SFTP. The company wants to use a foundation model to analyze production data and generate maintenance recommendations. The ERP system can only send and receive flat files. The team needs to integrate the FM service without changing the ERP system. What should the team do?

   • AUse AWS Transfer Family to create an SFTP endpoint, but have the ERP send JSON files directly to the FM API.
   • BModify the ERP system to call the FM API directly using REST and JSON.
   • CUse an Amazon API Gateway to expose the FM service and have the ERP call it via SFTP.
   • DSet up an SFTP server that receives flat files from the ERP, converts them to JSON, calls the FM API, and writes the response back as a flat file for the ERP to pick up.

   A company wants to integrate a foundation model into its order-processing workflow. The workflow should not be blocked while waiting for the model's response. Which architectural pattern best achieves this?

   • ASynchronous REST API calls from the workflow to the foundation model.
   • BDirect database-to-database replication between the workflow and the FM's storage.
   • CEvent-driven architecture using a message queue to decouple the workflow from the FM invocation.
   • DBatch processing that runs the FM invocation every night.

   A media streaming company uses a content management system (CMS) that stores metadata in Amazon DynamoDB. A generative AI model generates content tags and summaries. The AI model runs as a batch job that processes new content every 15 minutes. The team needs to update DynamoDB with the AI-generated tags and summaries. The update volume is high, and the team wants to minimize the cost of writing to DynamoDB while ensuring that all updates are applied. The team also wants to avoid throttling. What should the team do?

   • AUse Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to stream each tag and summary to a Lambda function that writes to DynamoDB in real time.
   • BHave the batch job write each tag and summary to DynamoDB using individual PutItem calls.
   • CUse Amazon SQS to buffer the updates and have a consumer that uses BatchWriteItem to write to DynamoDB in batches.
   • DUse AWS Database Migration Service to replicate DynamoDB data to Amazon S3 and have the batch job write tags and summaries to S3.

   A healthcare company processes patient data and uses a foundation model to generate clinical notes. The company must comply with data residency requirements that mandate all patient data remain in a specific AWS region. The FM service is available in that region. The team needs to integrate the FM service with an existing on-premises electronic health record (EHR) system. The EHR system can only send HL7 messages over MLLP. The integration must be asynchronous to avoid blocking the EHR. The team also needs to ensure that if the FM service fails, the messages are not lost and can be retried. What should the team do?

   • AUse an Amazon SNS topic to publish HL7 messages and have a Lambda function subscribe that calls the FM API and sends the result back via MLLP.
   • BHave the EHR system call the FM API directly via REST, converting HL7 to JSON on the EHR side.
   • CUse AWS Database Migration Service to replicate the EHR data to Amazon S3 in the required region and have the FM service read from S3.
   • DSet up an MLLP listener that forwards HL7 messages to an Amazon SQS queue in the required region, and have a consumer that calls the FM API and stores the result back to the EHR via MLLP.

   A travel agency uses a booking system that publishes events to an Amazon SNS topic. The company wants to use a foundation model to generate personalized travel recommendations and send them via SMS. The FM invocation can take up to 20 seconds, and the booking system cannot wait. The team needs to ensure that recommendations are generated for every booking event and that failures are retried. What should the team do?

   • AUse AWS Step Functions to orchestrate the FM call, but trigger it synchronously from the booking system.
   • BSubscribe an AWS Lambda function directly to the SNS topic that calls the FM API and sends the SMS.
   • CSubscribe an Amazon SQS queue to the SNS topic, and have a Lambda consumer that calls the FM API with retry logic and sends the SMS.
   • DHave the booking system call the FM API synchronously and send the SMS before confirming the booking.
