Question #: 204
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 Questions]

A database is on an Amazon RDS MySQL 5.6 Multi-AZ DB instance that experiences highly dynamic reads. Application developers notice a significant slowdown when testing read performance from a secondary AWS Region. The developers want a solution that provides less than 1 second of read replication latency.
What should the solutions architect recommend?

  • A. Install MySQL on Amazon EC2 in the secondary Region.
  • B. Migrate the database to Amazon Aurora with cross-Region replicas.
  • C. Create another RDS for MySQL read replica in the secondary Region.
  • D. Implement Amazon ElastiCache to improve database query performance.

Why not "C" ? create a MySQL read replica on the secondary region

Because it is all about Aurora at the end. If you find yourself in a position to choose AWS brand tool/service vs. other non-Aws original services and tools, pick AWS in any AWS exams.

Because Aurora is the fastest and has minimal latency when it comes to replicating data to another AWS region compared to MySQL read replicas.

simple, the question states "what solution the architect should recommend?". AWS wants you to offer the best solution available (also for then). Why shouldn't you offer Aurora as a Certified AWS Solution Architect?

His point is you dont offer things just because they're "the best"... what these questions seem to never take into account is what the customer wants to pay. There's so many solutions that would work perfectly fine... but the questions leave out many other reasons why a customer would pick something else. As a SA you shouldn't just pick the best most expensive option.

While you can do a simple RDS MySQL read replica to improve the performance whats the need for AWS Aroura cross replication? Hence "C" is the write answer

Yes it can improve the performance, but replication lag for RDS is high and will not meet the requirement

They already have read replica. "Application developers notice a significant slowdown when testing read performance from a secondary AWS Region" Also the problem you are solving is "a solution that provides less than 1 second of read replication latency."

B . Replication from the primary DB cluster to all secondaries is handled by the Aurora storage layer rather than by the database engine, so lag time for replicating changes is minimal—typically, less than 1 second. Keeping the database engine out of the replication process means that the database engine is dedicated to processing workloads. It also means that you don't need to configure or manage Aurora MySQL's binlog (binary logging) replication. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraMySQL.Replication.CrossRegion.html

IF the Answer B, it must hve mention Aurora Global DB not cross-region replicas. In Aurora there is nothing like cross region replicas. So my Answer is C, to create a RR of RDS in 2nd region. Question no where mentions there is already a RR in 2nd region. They only find latency when apps read from 2ns region

Initially I went for C. It was the better answer in my mind as you avoid a migration. Because lag time for replication must be under 1 second the correct answer is B.

https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/faqs/#High_Availability_and_Replication, MySQL Replica not only have longer replication (1sec), BUT it have high impact on Primary DB.. Therefore B is a better answer.

Selected Answer: B
B - Aurora is the solution as Amazon RDS for MySQL uses asynchronous replication which does not the lag requirement (invalidating C as an answer).

Ans should be C, As AWS documentation,This feature builds upon our existing support for read replicas that reside within the same region as the source database instance. You can now create up to five in-region and cross-region replicas per source with a single API call or a couple of clicks in the AWS Management Console. We are launching with support for version 5.6 of MySQL
