Topic: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

A solutions architect is investigating an issue in which a company cannot establish new sessions in Amazon Workspaces. An initial analysis indicates that the issue involves user profiles. The Amazon Workspaces environment is configured to use Amazon FSx for Windows File Server as the profile share storage. The FSx for Windows File Server file system is configured with 10 TB of storage.

The solutions architect discovers that the file system has reached Its maximum capacity. The solutions architect must ensure that users can regain access. The solution also must prevent the problem from occurring again.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A.
Remove old user profiles to create space. Migrate the user profiles to an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system.
B.
Increase capacity by using the update-file-system command. Implement an Amazon CloudWatch metric that monitors free space. Use Amazon EventBridge to invoke an AWS Lambda function to increase capacity as required.
C.
Monitor the file system by using the FreeStorageCapacity metric in Amazon CloudWatch. Use AWS Step Functions to increase the capacity as required.
D.
Remove old user profiles to create space. Create an additional FSx for Windows File Server file system. Update the user profile redirection for 50% of the users to use the new file system.

EventBridge invoking lambda to update settings will prevent too from occurring again

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

B is correct. It can prevent the issue from happening again by monitoring the file system with the FreeStorageCapacity metric in Amazon CloudWatch and using Amazon EventBridge to invoke an AWS Lambda function to increase the capacity as required. This ensures that the file system always has enough free space to store user profiles and avoids reaching maximum capacity.
A: Removing old user profiles may not be sufficient to create enough space and does not prevent the problem from happening again.
C: AWS Step Functions cannot be used to increase capacity, it is a service for creating and running workflows that stitch together multiple AWS services.
D: Creating an additional FSx for Windows File Server file system and updating user profile redirection for a portion of the users may not be sufficient to prevent the problem from happening again and does not address the current capacity issue.

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

It's D.
Option B Simply do not prevent problem to happen again. It's not possible to resize the FSx Size after creation so option D is more suitable.

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

Option B

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

B is the correct answer

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

it's B

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

keyword ==  update-file-system

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

Is it necessary to implement new cloudwatch metric? And using step functions seems to be able to increase storage capacity, according to the following reference.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/supported-services-awssdk.html#supported-services-awssdk-list

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

Perhaps the metric is used to trigger the step functions

B. Increasing capacity using the update-file-system command is not applicable to FSx for Windows File Server. The command is for Amazon EFS, not FSx for Windows File Server.

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

StorageCapacity
Use this parameter to increase the storage capacity of an FSx for Windows File Server, FSx for Lustre, FSx for OpenZFS, or FSx for ONTAP file system. Specifies the storage capacity target value, in GiB, to increase the storage capacity for the file system that you're updating.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateFileSystem.html
Example using the CLI
aws fsx update-file-system --file-system-id fs-0123456789abcdef0 --storage-capacity 10240

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

B
As you need additional storage, you can increase the storage capacity that is configured on your FSx for Windows File Server file system. You can do so using the Amazon FSx console, the Amazon FSx API, or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

B is correct

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

B seems to be the correct answer.
the unique possible solution is to add storage capacity using CLI

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

To increase the storage capacity for an FSx for Windows File Server file system, use the AWS CLI command update-file-system. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/WindowsGuide/managing-storage-capacity.html It's B.

Re: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 144

B is correct. It can prevent issue happen again with EventBridge and Lambda
A: not make sense at all
C: Cannot use Step Function to increase capacity
D: not prevent happen again
