A media streaming service experiences predictable spikes in viewership on weekends and low traffic during weekdays. They want to automatically adjust their compute capacity to match this pattern and avoid paying for idle resources. Which AWS feature should they use?

A larger EC2 instance type to handle all traffic.

AWS Global Accelerator to route traffic to the nearest Region.

Auto Scaling with scheduled scaling actions to increase capacity on weekends and decrease on weekdays.

A fixed number of EC2 instances that can handle peak weekend traffic.

A company is migrating to AWS and must comply with strict data protection regulations. They need to ensure that all data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and they want to reduce the cost of building and maintaining their own security infrastructure. They also want to automate compliance monitoring. Which AWS service should they use?

AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) for TLS certificates and AWS CloudTrail for logging.

AWS Shield for DDoS protection and AWS WAF for web application firewall.

AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for encryption and AWS Config for compliance monitoring.

Amazon S3 with server-side encryption and AWS Trusted Advisor.

A company runs a batch processing workload that runs for about 2 hours every night. The workload is not time-sensitive and can be interrupted. They want to minimize costs. Which AWS pricing model should they use?

Dedicated Hosts, which provide physical servers dedicated to your use.

On-Demand Instances, which provide flexibility and no commitment.

Spot Instances, which offer the lowest price but can be interrupted.

Reserved Instances, which provide a discount for a one- or three-year commitment.

A healthcare company is migrating patient records to AWS. They must comply with HIPAA and want to reduce the risk of data breaches. They also want to avoid building and maintaining their own physical data centers. Which AWS benefit is most directly relevant to their compliance and security needs?

Global Reach, which lets them store data in multiple Regions for disaster recovery.

Security and Compliance, which includes HIPAA-eligible services, encryption, and access controls.

Agility, which enables rapid deployment of new applications.

Elasticity, which allows them to scale resources based on patient data volume.
