Question #: 851
Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A large company wants to provide its globally located developers separate, limited size, managed PostgreSQL databases for development purposes. The databases will be low volume. The developers need the databases only when they are actively working.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

A. Give the developers the ability to launch separate Amazon Aurora instances. Set up a process to shut down Aurora instances at the end of the workday and to start Aurora instances at the beginning of the next workday.
B. Develop an AWS Service Catalog product that enforces size restrictions for launching Amazon Aurora instances. Give the developers access to launch the product when they need a development database.
C. Create an Amazon Aurora Serverless cluster. Develop an AWS Service Catalog product to launch databases in the cluster with the default capacity settings. Grant the developers access to the product.
D. Monitor AWS Trusted Advisor checks for idle Amazon RDS databases. Create a process to terminate identified idle RDS databases.

Selected Answer: C

(A,B,D) eliminated. Aurora instances & Amazon RDS use On-Demand or Reserved INSTANCES. These are more expensive than a serverless solution. (C) is correct. Amazon Aurora Serverless automatically starts up, shuts down & scales capacity up or down based on your application's needs; you pay only for capacity consumed.

Yes but its asking for the most cost effective. B would cause frustration for developers if it was terminated unexpectedly. The answer should be C so developers can easily access when they are needed and auto scales based on demand

You're correct for the wrong reasons. An instance being 'terminated unexpectedly' & it having 'easily access" are qualities related to high availability & not cost effectiveness. (B) is wrong because it's more $$$.

I don't think they need a cluster, so go with answer B

Selected Answer: C

A - Aurora = Overkill and expensive. B - Just like A. C - Aurora Serverless scales based on usage and can automatically scale down to zero when the database is not in use. This is ideal for a development environment where databases are only needed during active work hours. D - Money is not an issue here I think. The real problem is - there’s no guarantee that the database would be automatically available when the developers need it. The need for a manual process to monitor and terminate idle databases introduces operational overhead and the potential for human error.

Guys, listen to the question, each developer -> a separate managed PostgreSQL DB. this is the task. Then Most cost-effective comes. If you get a cheaper thing that does not fulfull the task, you are wrong. Question: Can each developer get a separate DB for himself from the cluster?

"when creating your Aurora database cluster, specify the desired range of database capacity or use the defaults, and connect your applications." This way we limit the capacity that we pay for. https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/serverless/
