AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 447

A solutions architect is designing a RESTAPI in Amazon API Gateway for a cash payback service. The application requires 1 GB of memory and 2 GB of storage for its computation resources. The application will require that the data is in a relational format.

Which additional combination ofAWS services will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative effort? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Amazon EC2
• B. AWS Lambda
• C. Amazon RDS
• D. Amazon DynamoDB
• E. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (Amazon EKS)

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that easily supports the required 1 GB of memory and 2 GB of ephemeral storage with minimal administrative overhead compared to provisioning EC2 or EKS. Amazon RDS provides a fully managed relational database solution, meeting the relational format requirement with much less management effort than hosting a database on EC2. Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database, which does not satisfy the relational data requirement.
