When designing multi-region failover for a CloudFront distribution with dynamic content, should you replicate CloudFront, use origin groups, or deploy Global Accelerator? This drill dissects the FinOps and architectural implications.
Moving 70TB of legacy video content to S3: Why physical data transport beats network transfer for one-time bulk migrations, and how to quantify the decision.
This drill explores updating an existing S3 bucket from SSE-S3 to customer-managed encryption keys, balancing security requirements with cost and operational complexity.
Explore how IAM task roles enable least privilege access for containerized applications, comparing security models and avoiding common permission anti-patterns in AWS ECS environments.
A high-level analysis of migrating analytics workloads to AWS while solving read/write contention issues through Aurora Read Replicas, AWS DMS, and strategic endpoint architecture—without customer disruption.
Discover why choosing the right storage architecture for auto-scaling workloads isn’t just about capacity—it’s about understanding shared access patterns, operational overhead, and the hidden costs of complexity.
A data analytics startup needs to migrate a Python JSON processing application running thousands of times daily. This drill compares Lambda event triggers, EC2 auto-scaling, ECS containers, and EBS multi-attach solutions through the lens of high availability, scalability, and minimal operational overhead.
Achieving true end-to-end encryption requires certificates on both the load balancer AND backend instances. This drill explores why ACM alone isn’t enough and how to balance security requirements with operational complexity.
A high-performance Lambda application suffers from database connection exhaustion under load. We analyze the optimal combination of RDS Proxy connection pooling and Lambda function optimization to achieve scalable, cost-effective architecture.
When a fintech startup needs to run containerized mission-critical applications without managing infrastructure, should they choose EC2-based ECS, Fargate, or self-managed Docker? This drill dissects the operational overhead vs. control spectrum for AWS SAA-C03 candidates.
