A banking company recently launched an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance as part of a proof-of-concept project. A database specialist has configured automated database snapshots. As a part of routine testing, the database specialist noticed one day that the automated database snapshot was not created.

Which of the following are possible reasons why the snapshot was not created? (Choose two.)
Database High Availability and Disaster Recovery Database Monitoring and Troubleshooting
A bank plans to use an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance. The database should support read-intensive traffic with very few repeated queries.

Which solution meets these requirements?
Database Deployment, Migration, and Management Database Performance Optimization and Tuning
A bike rental company operates an application to track its bikes. The application receives location and condition data from bike sensors. The application also receives rental transaction data from the associated mobile app.

The application uses Amazon DynamoDB as its database layer. The company has configured DynamoDB with provisioned capacity set to 20% above the expected peak load of the application. On an average day, DynamoDB used 22 billion read capacity units (RCUs) and 60 billion write capacity units (WCUs). The application is running well. Usage changes smoothly over the course of the day and is generally shaped like a bell curve. The timing and magnitude of peaks vary based on the weather and season, but the general shape is consistent.

Which solution will provide the MOST cost optimization of the DynamoDB database layer?
Database Deployment, Migration, and Management Database Performance Optimization and Tuning
A clothing company uses a custom ecommerce application and a PostgreSQL database to sell clothes to thousands of users from multiple countries. The company is migrating its application and database from its on-premises data center to the AWS Cloud. The company has selected Amazon EC2 for the application and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL for the database. The company requires database passwords to be changed every 60 days. A Database Specialist needs to ensure that the credentials used by the web application to connect to the database are managed securely.

Which approach should the Database Specialist take to securely manage the database credentials?
Database Security and Compliance Database Monitoring and Troubleshooting
A company conducted a security audit of its AWS infrastructure. The audit identified that data was not encrypted in transit between application servers and a MySQL database that is hosted in Amazon RDS.

After the audit, the company updated the application to use an encrypted connection. To prevent this problem from occurring again, the company s database team needs to configure the database to require in-transit encryption for all connections.

Which solution will meet this requirement?
Database Security and Compliance
A company developed an AWS CloudFormation template used to create all new Amazon DynamoDB tables in its AWS account. The template configures provisioned throughput capacity using hard-coded values. The company wants to change the template so that the tables it creates in the future have independently configurable read and write capacity units assigned.
Which solution will enable this change?
Database Performance Optimization and Tuning Database High Availability and Disaster Recovery
A company developed a new application that is deployed on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer. The EC2 instances use the security group named sg-application-servers. The company needs a database to store the data from the application and decides to use an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance. The DB instance is deployed in a private DB subnet.

What is the MOST restrictive configuration for the DB instance security group?
Database High Availability and Disaster Recovery Database Security and Compliance
A company has a 20 TB production Amazon Aurora DB cluster. The company runs a large batch job overnight to load data into the Aurora DB cluster. To ensure the company s development team has the most up-to-date data for testing, a copy of the DB cluster must be available in the shortest possible time after the batch job completes.

How should this be accomplished?
Database High Availability and Disaster Recovery Database Security and Compliance
