A company is migrating an application to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). The company wants to consolidate log data in Amazon CloudWatch in the us-west-2 Region. No CloudWatch log groups currently exist for Amazon ECS.

The company receives the following error code when an ECS task attempts to launch:

“service my-service-name was unable to place a task because no container instance met all of its requirements.”

The ECS task definition includes the following container log configuration:

" logConfiguration " : {

" logDriver " : " awslogs " ,

" options " : {

" awslogs-create-group " : " true " ,

" awslogs-group " : " awslogs-mytask " ,

" awslogs-region " : " us-west-2 " ,

" awslogs-stream-prefix " : " awslogs-mytask " ,

" mode " : " non-blocking " ,

" max-buffer-size " : " 25m "

}

}

The ECS cluster uses an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group to provide capacity for tasks. EC2 instances launch an Amazon ECS-optimized AMI.

Questions 85

A company runs an application on an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) service by using the AWS Fargate launch type. The application consumes messages from an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue. The application can take several minutes to process each message from the queue. When the application processes a message, the application reads a file from an Amazon S3 bucket and processes the data in the file. The application writes the processed output to a second S3 bucket. The company uses Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor processing errors and to ensure that the application processes messages successfully.

The SQS queue typically receives a low volume of messages. However, occasionally the queue receives higher volumes of messages. A DevOps engineer needs to implement a solution to reduce the processing time of message bursts.

Which solution will meet this requirement in the MOST cost-effective way?

Options:

A.

Register the ECS service as a scalable target in AWS Application Auto Scaling. Configure a target tracking scaling policy to scale the service in response to the queue size.

B.

Increase the maximum number of messages that Amazon SQS requests to batch messages together. Use long polling to minimize the number of API calls to Amazon SQS during periods of low traffic.

C.

Send messages to an Amazon EventBridge event bus instead of the SQS queue. Replace the ECS service with an EventBridge rule that launches ECS tasks in response to matching events.

D.

Create an Auto Scaling group of EC2 instances. Create a capacity provider in the ECS cluster by using the Auto Scaling group. Change the ECS service to use the EC2 launch type.

A company uses an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster to host its machine learning (ML) application. As the ML model and the container image size grow, the time that new pods take to start up has increased to several minutes.

A DevOps engineer needs to reduce the startup time to seconds. The solution must also reduce the startup time to seconds when the pod runs on nodes that were recently added to the cluster.

The DevOps engineer creates an Amazon EventBridge rule that invokes an automation in AWS Systems Manager. The automation prefetches the container images from an Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) repository when new images are pushed to the repository. The DevOps engineer also configures tags to be applied to the cluster and the node groups.

What should the DevOps engineer do next to meet the requirements?

Options:

A.

Create an IAM role that has a policy that allows EventBridge to use Systems Manager to run commands in the EKS cluster ' s control plane nodes. Create a Systems Manager State Manager association that uses the control plane nodes ' tags to prefetch corresponding container images.
