A Solutions Architect Is Redesigning an Image-Viewing and Messaging Platform

question 446

Multiple Choice

A Solutions Architect is redesigning an image-viewing and messaging platform to be delivered as SaaS. Currently, there is a farm of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that runs a desktop image-viewing application and a desktop messaging application. Both applications use a shared database to manage user accounts and sharing. Users log in from a web portal that launches the applications and streams the view of the application on the user's machine. The Development Operations team wants to move away from using VDI and wants to rewrite the application. What is the MOST cost-effective architecture that offers both security and ease of management?

• A) Run a website from an Amazon S3 bucket with a separate S3 bucket for images and messaging data. Call AWS Lambda functions from embedded JavaScript to manage the dynamic content, and use Amazon Cognito for user and sharing management.
• B) Run a website from Amazon EC2 Linux servers, storing the images in Amazon S3, and use Amazon Cognito for user accounts and sharing. Create AWS CloudFormation templates to launch the application by using EC2 user data to install and configure the application.
• C) Run a website as an AWS Elastic Beanstalk application, storing the images in Amazon S3, and using an Amazon RDS database for user accounts and sharing. Create AWS CloudFormation templates to launch the application and perform blue/green deployments.
• D) Run a website from an Amazon S3 bucket that authorizes Amazon AppStream to stream applications for a combined image viewer and messenger that stores images in Amazon S3. Have the website use an Amazon RDS database for user accounts and sharing.
