A company runs a batch processing workload on a fleet of EC2 instances that are only used for a few hours each night. The workload is idempotent and can tolerate interruptions. The company wants to reduce costs and operational overhead. Which modernization approach should the company choose?

Keep the current EC2 fleet but schedule instances to stop when idle.

Use Reserved Instances for the EC2 fleet.

Use AWS Batch with Spot Instances.

Migrate the workload to AWS Lambda.

A company runs a monolithic order-management application on EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. The application uses a MySQL database on a separate EC2 instance. The company wants to reduce operational overhead and improve scalability. The application's code is tightly coupled and would require significant refactoring to use a microservices architecture. The company needs to modernize with minimal code changes and is willing to accept some database engine changes. Which strategy should the company choose?

Replace the application with a third-party SaaS order-management solution.

Rehost the application to larger EC2 instances and use Amazon RDS for MySQL.

Refactor the application into microservices and use Amazon DynamoDB for each service.

Replatform the application to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk and migrate the database to Amazon Aurora MySQL.

A company runs a legacy application that uses a proprietary database. The application is stable but the company wants to move to AWS to reduce data center costs. The application cannot be refactored, and the proprietary database is not supported by Amazon RDS. Which modernization strategy should the company choose?

Rehost the application on EC2 and run the proprietary database on an EC2 instance.

Replace the application with a SaaS solution.

Replatform the application to use Amazon RDS with a different database engine.

Refactor the application to use a cloud-native database.

A company runs a customer relationship management (CRM) application on a single EC2 instance with a local MySQL database. The application is critical to sales operations and experiences performance issues during peak hours. The company wants to improve performance and scalability. Which modernization approach should the company choose?

Rehost the application to a larger EC2 instance and use Amazon RDS for MySQL.

Refactor the application to use microservices and Amazon DynamoDB.

Replace the CRM with a SaaS solution.

Replatform the application to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Amazon Aurora.
