Question # 81

A company runs an unauthenticated static website (www.example.com) that includes aregistration form for users. The website uses Amazon S3 for hosting and uses AmazonCloudFront as the content delivery network with AWS WAF configured. When theregistration form is submitted, the website calls an Amazon API Gateway API endpoint thatinvokes an AWS Lambda function to process the payload and forward the payload to anexternal API call.During testing, a solutions architect encounters a cross-origin resource sharing (CORS)error. The solutions architect confirms that the CloudFront distribution origin has theAccess-Control-Allow-Origin header set to www.example.com.What should the solutions architect do to resolve the error?

A. Change the CORS configuration on the S3 bucket. Add rules for CORS to the AllowedOrigin element for www.example.com.

Question # 88

A financial services company runs a complex, multi-tier application on Amazon EC2instances and AWS Lambda functions. The application stores temporary data in AmazonS3. The S3 objects are valid for only 45 minutes and are deleted after 24 hours.The company deploys each version of the application by launching an AWSCloudFormation stack. The stack creates all resources that are required to run theapplication. When the company deploys and validates a new application version, thecompany deletes the CloudFormation stack of the old version.The company recently tried to delete the CloudFormation stack of an old applicationversion, but the operation failed. An analysis shows that CloudFormation failed to delete anexisting S3 bucket. A solutions architect needs to resolve this issue without making majorchanges to the application's architecture.Which solution meets these requirements?
