Question

A company is running a stateless application. The application consists of a web server and a PostgreSQL database that run on a single Amazon EC2 instance. The EC2 instance becomes overloaded during times of high application traffic, leading to slow response times. A SysOps administrator needs to implement a solution to resolve the application's performance issues. The solution must accommodate increased application traffic as the number of users continues to grow. The solution also must make the application highly available. Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Options

  • ACreate an Amazon CloudFront distribution. Specify the EC2 instance as the origin.
  • BConfigure an EC2 Auto Scaling group of web servers behind an Application Load Balancer.
  • CUpgrade the existing EC2 instance to a larger instance type with more CPU and memory
  • DUse an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Multi-AZ deployment for the database. Point the application
  • EUpgrade the PostgreSQL database on the EC2 instance to a newer version.
