A company is running a two-tier ecommerce application in one AWS account. The web server is deployed using an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance. A Developer mistakenly deleted the database in the production environment. The database has been restored, but this resulted in hours of downtime and lost revenue.
Which combination of changes in existing IAM policies should a Database Specialist make to prevent an error like this from happening in the future? (Choose three.)

  1. Grant least privilege to groups, users, and roles
  2. Allow all users to restore a database from a backup that will reduce the overall downtime to restore the database
  3. Enable multi-factor authentication for sensitive operations to access sensitive resources and API operations
  4. Use policy conditions to restrict access to selective IP addresses
  5. Use AccessList Controls policy type to restrict users for database instance deletion
  6. Enable AWS CloudTrail logging and Enhanced Monitoring

Answer(s): A,C,D



A company is building a new web platform where user requests trigger an AWS Lambda function that performs an insert into an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster. Initial tests with less than 10 users on the new platform yielded successful execution and fast response times. However, upon more extensive tests with the actual target of 3,000 concurrent users, Lambda functions are unable to connect to the DB cluster and receive too many connections errors.
Which of the following will resolve this issue?

  1. Edit the my.cnf file for the DB cluster to increase max_connections
  2. Increase the instance size of the DB cluster
  3. Change the DB cluster to Multi-AZ
  4. Increase the number of Aurora Replicas

Answer(s): B



A company is developing a multi-tier web application hosted on AWS using Amazon Aurora as the database. The application needs to be deployed to production and other non-production environments. A Database Specialist needs to specify different MasterUsername and MasterUserPassword properties in the AWS CloudFormation templates used for automated deployment. The CloudFormation templates are version controlled in the company’s code repository. The company also needs to meet compliance requirement by routinely rotating its database master password for production.
What is most secure solution to store the master password?

  1. Store the master password in a parameter file in each environment. Reference the environment-specific parameter file in the CloudFormation template.
  2. Encrypt the master password using an AWS KMS key. Store the encrypted master password in the CloudFormation template.
  3. Use the secrets manager dynamic reference to retrieve the master password stored in AWS Secrets Manager and enable automatic rotation.
  4. Use the ssm dynamic reference to retrieve the master password stored in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and enable automatic rotation.

Answer(s): C



A company is writing a new survey application to be used with a weekly televised game show. The application will be available for 2 hours each week. The company expects to receive over 500,000 entries every week, with each survey asking 2-3 multiple choice questions of each user. A Database Specialist needs to select a platform that is highly scalable for a large number of concurrent writes to handle he anticipated volume.
Which AWS services should the Database Specialist consider? (Choose two.)

  1. Amazon DynamoDB
  2. Amazon Redshift
  3. Amazon Neptune
  4. Amazon Elasticsearch Service
  5. Amazon ElastiCache

Answer(s): A,E



A company has migrated a single MySQL database to Amazon Aurora. The production data is hosted in a DB cluster in VPC_PROD, and 12 testing environments are hosted in VPC_TEST using the same AWS account. Testing results in minimal changes to the test data. The Development team wants each environment refreshed nightly so each test database contains fresh production data every day.

Which migration approach will be the fastest and most cost-effective to implement?

  1. Run the master in Amazon Aurora MySQL. Create 12 clones in VPC_TEST, and script the clones to be deleted and re-created nightly.
  2. Run the master in Amazon Aurora MySQL. Take a nightly snapshot, and restore it into 12 databases in VPC_TEST using Aurora Serverless.
  3. Run the master in Amazon Aurora MySQL. Create 12 Aurora Replicas in VPC_TEST, and script the replicas to be deleted and re-created nightly.
  4. Run the master in Amazon Aurora MySQL using Aurora Serverless. Create 12 clones in VPC_TEST, and script the clones to be deleted and re-created nightly.
