A company runs a critical application on EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone. The application has a hard dependency on a legacy database that can only run on a single instance. The company wants to improve availability but cannot change the database architecture. What is the best approach to improve the overall availability of the application?

Take frequent snapshots of the database and application instances.

Deploy the application across multiple Availability Zones and use Amazon Route 53 health checks to fail over to a standby database.

Use Amazon EC2 Auto Recovery to automatically restart the instances if they fail.

Run the application and database on the same larger EC2 instance to reduce network latency.

A company manually provisions EC2 instances, security groups, and load balancers for each new environment. This process is error-prone and takes several days. The company wants to reduce errors and speed up deployments. What should the company do?

Create a detailed runbook document for the manual process.

Hire more administrators to perform the manual steps in parallel.

Use AWS CloudFormation to define the infrastructure as code.

Use the AWS Management Console to create resources faster.
