A company runs a batch processing workload that processes files uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket. The workload is CPU-intensive and can take up to 30 minutes per file. The company wants to minimize cost and avoid managing servers. What should a solutions architect recommend?

Use Amazon EC2 Spot Instances in an Auto Scaling group.

Use Amazon EMR with a long-running cluster.

Use AWS Lambda with a 15-minute timeout and process files in parallel.

Use AWS Batch with a Fargate launch type.

A company runs a stateless web application on EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) in a single Availability Zone. The operations team wants to improve availability and elasticity without changing the application code. What should a solutions architect do?

Place the instances in an Auto Scaling group with a larger desired capacity in the same Availability Zone.

Configure an Auto Scaling group with instances in multiple Availability Zones and attach it to the ALB.

Add a second ALB in another Availability Zone and use Route 53 weighted routing.

Increase the instance size to handle peak load and enable detailed monitoring.

Which disaster recovery metric represents the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time?

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
