Which AWS service can help reduce data transfer costs for frequently accessed content by caching it at edge locations?

Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration

A company has multiple AWS accounts managed through AWS Organizations. The finance team wants to track costs by project and receive alerts when spending exceeds a threshold. The company also wants to prevent developers from launching expensive resources without approval. What should the company do?

Use AWS Cost and Usage Report to track costs and rely on the finance team to manually review the report monthly.

Create an IAM policy that denies all EC2 launches, and require developers to submit a ticket to the finance team for approval.

Use only AWS Trusted Advisor to monitor costs and send email alerts.

Enable AWS Cost Explorer and use AWS Budgets to create cost and usage budgets with alerts, and use AWS Service Catalog to control which resources can be launched.

A startup runs a REST API that experiences highly variable traffic, with periods of no traffic for several hours and sudden spikes. The API is stateless and has a response time requirement of under 500 ms. The startup wants to minimize costs while maintaining performance. Which architecture should the startup use?

Deploy the API on Amazon ECS with Fargate and a target tracking scaling policy.

Deploy the API on a single large EC2 instance to handle the peak load.

Deploy the API on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer with Auto Scaling.

Deploy the API using AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway.

When performing a cost-benefit analysis for a migration to AWS, what is a key benefit that should be quantified?

The removal of the need for IT staff

The ability to scale resources up and down based on demand

The elimination of all security risks
