Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Database - Specialty
Question #: 296
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Database - Specialty Questions]

A company uses an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster. A database specialist has configured the DB cluster to use the automated backup feature with a 10-day retention period. The company wants the database specialist to reduce the cost of the database backup storage as much as possible without causing downtime. It is more important for the company to optimize costs than it is to retain a large set of database backups.

Which set of actions should the database specialist take on the DB cluster to meet these requirements?

  • A. Disable the automated backup feature by changing the backup retention period to 0 days. Perform manual snapshots daily. Delete old snapshots.
  • B. Change the backup retention period to 1 day. Remove old manual snapshots if they are no longer required.
  • C. Keep the backup retention period at 10 days. Remove old manual snapshots if they are no longer required.
  • D. Disable the automated backup feature by changing the backup retention period to 0 days. Create a backup plan in AWS Backup to perform daily backups.

Selected Answer: B
You can't disable automated backups on Aurora. The backup retention period for Aurora is managed by the DB cluster. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.Managing.Backups.html
