Question 5: You have a business-critical two-tier web app currently deployed in two AZ in a single regioin, using Elastic Load Balancing and Auto Scaling. The app depends on synchronous replication (very low latency connectivity) at the database layer. The applicaiton needs to remain fully available even if one application AZs goes off-line, and Auto Scaling cannot launch new instances in the remaining AZs. How can the current architecture be enhanced to ensure this?
Option 1: Deploy in three Availability Zones, with Auto Scaling minimum set to handle 33 percent peack load per zone.
Option 2: Deploy in three Availability Zones, with Auto Scaling minimum set to handle 50 percent peak load per zone.
Option 3: Deploy in two regions using weighted Round Robin (WRR), with Auto Scaling minimums set for 50 percent peak load per Region.
Option 4: Deploy in two regions using Weighted Roud Robin (WRR), with Auto Scaling minimums set for 100 percent peak laod per region.
Answer: Option 2: Deploy in three Availability Zones, with Auto Scaling minimum set to handle 50 percent peak load per zone.
