Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 904 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional
Question #: 904
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional Questions]

A financial services company loaded millions of historical stock trades into an Amazon DynamoDB table. The table uses on-demand capacity mode. Once each day at midnight, a few million new records are loaded into the table. Application read activity against the table happens in bursts throughout the day, and a limited set of keys are repeatedly looked up. The company needs to reduce costs associated with DynamoDB.
Which strategy should a solutions architect recommend to meet this requirement?

  • A. Deploy an Amazon ElastiCache cluster in front of the DynamoDB table.
  • B. Deploy DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX). Configure DynamoDB auto scaling. Purchase Savings Plans in Cost Explorer.
  • C. Use provisioned capacity mode. Purchase Savings Plans in Cost Explorer.
  • D. Deploy DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX). Use provisioned capacity mode. Configure DynamoDB auto scaling.

Deploy DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) - burst reads on limited set of keys (caching) Use provisioned capacity mode - base read / write capacity Configure DynamoDB auto scaling - predictable record loads at midnight B: incorrect as DynamoDB supports capacity reservations but on the DynamoDB console page not from cost explorer

Selected Answer: D
DAX + provisioned capacity + auto scaling --savings plans are for EC2 and do not contribute to DynamoDB Provisioned mode is a good option if any of the following are true: You have predictable application traffic. You run applications whose traffic is consistent or ramps gradually. You can forecast capacity requirements to control costs. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/HowItWorks.ReadWriteCapacityMode.html#HowItWorks.ProvisionedThroughput.Manual
