A gaming company runs a stateless web tier on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The traffic pattern is unpredictable, with spikes during game launches and events. The company wants to ensure that the web tier can handle sudden increases in traffic without manual intervention, while keeping costs low during periods of low traffic. What should a solutions architect do?

Use a scheduled scaling policy to add instances during known peak hours.

Provision a fixed number of instances that can handle the maximum expected load.

Use a target tracking scaling policy based on the ALB's RequestCountPerTarget metric.

Use a simple scaling policy that adds one instance when CPU utilization exceeds 70%.

Which of the following is an example of a measurable performance metric for a database?

Number of tables in the database

Number of database administrators on call

A global e-commerce company has a web application hosted in the us-east-1 Region. The application serves product images and static content from an Amazon S3 bucket. Users in Europe report slow page load times. The company wants to improve the user experience for European users without changing the application architecture. What should a solutions architect do?

Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration on the bucket.

Deploy the application in the eu-west-1 Region and use Amazon Route 53 latency-based routing.

Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution with the S3 bucket as the origin and configure the cache behavior to cache the static content.

Create a VPC endpoint for S3 in the us-east-1 Region.
