Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 357 discussion

A gaming company is moving its public scoreboard from a data center to the AWS Cloud. The company uses Amazon EC2 Windows Server instances behind an Application Load Balancer to host its dynamic application. The company needs a highly available storage solution for the application. The application consists of static files and dynamic server-side code.

Which combination of steps should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

  • A. Store the static files on Amazon S3. Use Amazon CloudFront to cache objects at the edge.
  • B. Store the static files on Amazon S3. Use Amazon ElastiCache to cache objects at the edge.
  • C. Store the server-side code on Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). Mount the EFS volume on each EC2 instance to share the files.
  • D. Store the server-side code on Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. Mount the FSx for Windows File Server volume on each EC2 instance to share the files.
  • E. Store the server-side code on a General Purpose SSD (gp2) Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. Mount the EBS volume on each EC2 instance to share the files.

A because Elasticache, despite being ideal for leaderboards per Amazon, doesn't cache at edge locations. D because FSx has higher performance for low latency needs. https://www.techtarget.com/searchaws/tip/Amazon-FSx-vs-EFS-Compare-the-AWS-file-services "FSx is built for high performance and submillisecond latency using solid-state drive storage volumes. This design enables users to select storage capacity and latency independently. Thus, even a subterabyte file system can have 256 Mbps or higher throughput and support volumes up to 64 TB."

Selected Answer: AD
The reasons are: Storing static files in S3 with CloudFront provides durability, high availability, and low latency by caching at edge locations. FSx for Windows File Server provides a fully managed Windows native file system that can be accessed from the Windows EC2 instances to share server-side code. It is designed for high availability and scales up to 10s of GBPS throughput. EFS and EBS volumes can be attached to a single AZ. FSx and S3 are replicated across AZs for high availability.

Key: Static files and dynamic server-side code. Key: Windows Server. The answer is A because S3 is for static files, and CloudFront is a CDN. The second answer is D because FSx works for Windows File Server. It's not C because EFS is just for Linux. It's not E because EBS doesn't share files between EC2 instances.

The question and options are badly worded. How does (D) storing server side code on a file server makes it executable?
