A company is migrating a critical application to AWS using a lift-and-shift approach. The application runs on two on-premises servers: a web server and a database server running SQL Server. The company has deployed the web server on an EC2 instance behind an Application Load Balancer, and the database on an RDS for SQL Server Multi-AZ instance. After migration, users report that the application is noticeably slower compared to on-premises. The application uses a large number of database transactions, and latency between the web server and database has increased. The web server is in us-east-1a, and the RDS primary instance is in us-east-1b. The solutions architect verifies that the application is using the RDS endpoint, not the IP address. What should the architect do to reduce latency?

A company is modernizing its application by migrating from a monolithic architecture to microservices on Amazon ECS Fargate. The application uses an on-premises Oracle database, which is being migrated to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL as part of the modernization. The team has refactored the application into several microservices, each with its own database schema in the same Aurora cluster. During load testing, the team notices that one microservice's heavy write operations cause increased latency for other microservices' read queries. The Aurora cluster uses a single writer and multiple readers. The team needs to isolate the write-heavy microservice without changing the application code. What should the solutions architect do?

A company is migrating a critical 3-tier application to AWS. The application consists of a web tier, an application tier, and a PostgreSQL database. The web and application tiers are stateless and run on Linux. The company has deployed the web tier on EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) across two Availability Zones. The application tier is deployed on EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group across two Availability Zones. The PostgreSQL database is migrated to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL with Multi-AZ deployment. The application uses sticky sessions (session affinity) to maintain user sessions on the web tier. After migration, users report that they are frequently logged out and lose session data. The web tier logs show that requests are being routed to different web instances. What is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

A company is migrating a large on-premises Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle. The database is 2 TB in size and has a 24/7 uptime requirement. The company plans to use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) for continuous replication with minimal downtime. The source database is Oracle 11g running on Linux. During the full load phase, AWS DMS reports high latency and the replication slows down significantly. The source database CPU utilization is at 100% during the migration. The company needs to minimize the impact on production workload. What should the company do to improve the migration performance and reduce impact on the source database?

A company is migrating a legacy on-premises web application to AWS. The application consists of a stateless web tier and a stateful application tier that stores session data in memory. The company wants to achieve high availability and elasticity. The migration must minimize code changes. The solutions architect proposes using an Application Load Balancer (ALB) with sticky sessions and an Auto Scaling group for the web tier. For the application tier, they plan to use an ALB with sticky sessions and an Auto Scaling group. During testing, users report that they are unexpectedly logged out and lose session data. The application logs show that requests from the same user are being sent to different instances. Which change should the solutions architect make to resolve this issue?
