Exam AWS-SysOps topic 1 question 776 discussion

I'm taking a wild guess here C Even though the want to minimization application changes. They need durability and availability. And have not said anything about NOT changing the platform

Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) provides managed database services, including the option to migrate the existing MySQL database to Amazon RDS Aurora. Aurora is a MySQL-compatible, highly available and durable database engine with automatic replication and failover capabilities.

Answer is C

Answer is C

Answer is C just because you need to change 1 string and it is DB endpoint for app.

C. Migrate the database to an Amazon RDS Aurora DB instance and create a Read Replica in another Availability Zone.

I'll go with C

it's C. Most elegant and easy way.

A: doesn't work https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37905421/enable-multi-az-for-running-ec2-instance B: You can loose up to 30 mins of data and will require steps to bring the new server online, pointing to the old data. c: Only one that makes sense, even though it does change the DB. d: My SQL and MS Sql are totally different. Changes the App

Microsoft SQL Server differ from MySql, so if we use Microsoft, we also need use a Schema Conversion Tools which bring more changes. But with RDS Auroro MySQL compability we bring minimal change with ENDPOINTS only. Answer C.

C looks to be best. Reason - Aurora has MySQL as a baseline offering.

I guess the question or answer has typo. Both question and option D corresponds to MySQL or Microsoft. And if so, D is the choice.

For changing the DB of an application you just need to change the settings or a few lines of code. For me answer is C.

C is the best chosen.

D...We need minimum conf changes mates... migrating it to Aurora is OK but hell lots of configuration changes and the DB is critical... Safest is D.

The answer should be C. Check out this reference: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/01/easy-migration-from-rds-mysql-to-aurora/. It is easy to covert mysql database to Aurora and it fits the requirement "The company wants to minimize application changes."

The answer should be C. While A seems like it would also work, read replicas are what provide high availability. A, should only be fault-tolerant. Aurora is fault-tolerant by design and adding a read replica increases availability.
