An online shopping company has a large inflow of shopping requests daily. As a result, there is a consistent load on the company's Amazon RDS database. A database specialist needs to ensure the database is up and running at all times.

What should the database specialist do to achieve this? (Choose two.)

  • A. Create an Amazon CloudWatch Events event to send a notification using Amazon SNS on every API call logged in AWS CloudTrail.
  • B. Subscribe to an RDS event subscription and configure it to use an Amazon SNS topic to send notifications.
  • C. Use Amazon SES to send notifications based on configured Amazon CloudWatch Events events.
  • D. Configure Amazon CloudWatch alarms on various metrics, such as FreeStorageSpace for the RDS instance.
  • E. Enable email notifications for AWS Trusted Advisor.

B and D looks correct. With low storage instance will go out of service causing downtime. Tricky at the same time easy question.

No for two reasons 1) Getting Cloudtrail for every event 2) You wont be alerted to Alarms on things like Low database storage space etc
