Q1.A company manages a web-facing application fleet that experiences heavy, consistent traffic. A review of CloudWatch metrics shows that the current $m6i.large$ instances (General Purpose) are reaching $90\%$ CPU utilization during peak periods, while memory utilization remains below $30\%$. Based on these performance characteristics, which instance family is most appropriate to optimize the cost-performance ratio for this workload?

Q2.A company requires that all Amazon S3 buckets are private. A Solutions Architect has deployed the `s3-bucket-public-read-prohibited` managed rule in AWS Config but needs to ensure that any non-compliant buckets are automatically fixed without manual intervention.\n\nWhich configuration steps should the Architect apply to enable automated remediation using AWS Systems Manager (SSM)?

Q3.A company is conducting a Disaster Recovery (DR) test to validate a $2$-hour Recovery Time Objective (RTO).

Q5.A company operates a web application that experiences a predictable traffic spike every weekday at $9:00$ AM and occasional, random surges throughout the day due to marketing events.
