A database specialist manages a critical Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance for a company. The data stored daily could vary from .01% to 10% of the current database size. The database specialist needs to ensure that the DB instance storage grows as needed.

What is the MOST operationally efficient and cost-effective solution?

  1. Configure RDS Storage Auto Scaling.
  2. Configure RDS instance Auto Scaling.
  3. Modify the DB instance allocated storage to meet the forecasted requirements.
  4. Monitor the Amazon CloudWatch FreeStorageSpace metric daily and add storage as required.

Answer(s): A



A company is due for renewing its database license. The company wants to migrate its 80 TB transactional database system from on-premises to the AWS Cloud. The migration should incur the least possible downtime on the downstream database applications. The company’s network infrastructure has limited network bandwidth that is shared with other applications.

Which solution should a database specialist use for a timely migration?

  1. Perform a full backup of the source database to AWS Snowball Edge appliances and ship them to be loaded to Amazon S3. Use AWS DMS to migrate change data capture (CDC) data from the source database to Amazon S3. Use a second AWS DMS task to migrate all the S3 data to the target database.
  2. Perform a full backup of the source database to AWS Snowball Edge appliances and ship them to be loaded to Amazon S3. Periodically perform incremental backups of the source database to be shipped in another Snowball Edge appliance to handle syncing change data capture (CDC) data from the source to the target database.
  3. Use AWS DMS to migrate the full load of the source database over a VPN tunnel using the internet for its primary connection. Allow AWS DMS to handle syncing change data capture (CDC) data from the source to the target database.
  4. Use the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to migrate the full load of the source database over a VPN tunnel using the internet for its primary connection. Allow AWS SCT to handle syncing change data capture (CDC) data from the source to the target database.

Answer(s): A



A database specialist is responsible for an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance with one read replica. The DB instance and the read replica are assigned to the default parameter group. The database team currently runs test queries against a read replica. The database team wants to create additional tables in the read replica that will only be accessible from the read replica to benefit the tests.

Which should the database specialist do to allow the database team to create the test tables?

  1. Contact AWS Support to disable read-only mode on the read replica. Reboot the read replica. Connect to the read replica and create the tables.
  2. Change the read_only parameter to false (read_only=0) in the default parameter group of the read replica. Perform a reboot without failover. Connect to the read replica and create the tables using the local_only MySQL option.
  3. Change the read_only parameter to false (read_only=0) in the default parameter group. Reboot the read replica. Connect to the read replica and create the tables.
  4. Create a new DB parameter group. Change the read_only parameter to false (read_only=0). Associate the read replica with the new group. Reboot the read replica. Connect to the read replica and create the tables.

Answer(s): D



A company has a heterogeneous six-node production Amazon Aurora DB cluster that handles online transaction processing (OLTP) for the core business and OLAP reports for the human resources department. To match compute resources to the use case, the company has decided to have the reporting workload for the human resources department be directed to two small nodes in the Aurora DB cluster, while every other workload goes to four large nodes in the same DB cluster.

Which option would ensure that the correct nodes are always available for the appropriate workload while meeting these requirements?

  1. Use the writer endpoint for OLTP and the reader endpoint for the OLAP reporting workload.
  2. Use automatic scaling for the Aurora Replica to have the appropriate number of replicas for the desired workload.
  3. Create additional readers to cater to the different scenarios.
  4. Use custom endpoints to satisfy the different workloads.

Answer(s): D



Developers have requested a new Amazon Redshift cluster so they can load new third-party marketing data. The new cluster is ready and the user credentials are given to the developers. The developers indicate that their copy jobs fail with the following error message:

“Amazon Invalid operation: S3ServiceException:Access Denied,Status 403,Error AccessDenied.”

The developers need to load this data soon, so a database specialist must act quickly to solve this issue.
What is the MOST secure solution?

  1. Create a new IAM role with the same user name as the Amazon Redshift developer user ID. Provide the IAM role with read-only access to Amazon S3 with the assume role action.
  2. Create a new IAM role with read-only access to the Amazon S3 bucket and include the assume role action. Modify the Amazon Redshift cluster to add the IAM role.
  3. Create a new IAM role with read-only access to the Amazon S3 bucket with the assume role action. Add this role to the developer IAM user ID used for the copy job that ended with an error message.
  4. Create a new IAM user with access keys and a new role with read-only access to the Amazon S3 bucket. Add this role to the Amazon Redshift cluster. Change the copy job to use the access keys created.
