A solutions architect needs to determine whether an application meets its performance requirements. Which approach is most appropriate for this evaluation?

Ask the development team if they believe the application is fast enough

Compare current performance metrics against the defined SLAs and user expectations

Review the AWS bill to identify cost overruns

Check the application's source code for inefficient algorithms

A financial services company runs a batch processing workload on Amazon EC2. The workload runs once a day and takes 4 hours to complete. The company is evaluating a serverless architecture using AWS Lambda to reduce cost. The workload is CPU-bound and processes large files. The company's compliance team requires that all data processing occur within a specific AWS Region. What should the company do to balance performance, cost, and compliance?

Keep the workload on EC2 but use Spot Instances to reduce cost, ensuring the instances are launched in the required Region.

Move the workload to Amazon EMR, which is optimized for data processing and can be configured to run only in the required Region.

Use AWS Fargate to run the batch job as a container, which can scale to zero when not in use and has no time limit.

Migrate the workload to AWS Lambda with a 15-minute timeout and process the files in parallel to fit within the time limit.

When considering a performance optimization, what should a solutions architect analyze to make an informed decision?

The performance gain alone, without considering other factors

The cost of the optimization only

The trade-offs between performance gains and cost, complexity, and other constraints

The opinion of the development team
