CLF-C02 Question 16
Select 3Your company is designing a new application on AWS and wants to ensure it aligns with the pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework. The application must handle varying traffic loads efficiently, maintain high availability during failures, and minimize costs while continuing to meet performance requirements. Which pillars of the Well-Architected Framework should be prioritized in this scenario?
- A
Reliability
- B
Performance Efficiency
- C
Cost Optimization
- D
Operational Excellence
- E
Security
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
The scenario highlights the need for high availability (Reliability), efficient handling of varying traffic loads (Performance Efficiency), and cost-effectiveness (Cost Optimization). These three pillars directly address the requirements stated in the scenario. While Operational Excellence and Security are also essential parts of the Well-Architected Framework, they are not the main focus of this particular use case.
- A. Correct.
Reliability is critical to ensure the application remains highly available during failures, which is one of the requirements in the scenario.
- B. Correct.
Performance efficiency is necessary to handle varying traffic loads efficiently, which aligns with the scenario's need for scalability and responsiveness.
- C. Correct.
Cost optimization is important to minimize costs while maintaining performance requirements, as stated in the scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
Operational excellence focuses on operational processes and monitoring but is not directly prioritized in this specific scenario.
- E. Incorrect.
Security is always important, but the scenario does not mention specific security concerns, so it is not the primary focus here.
