Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 668 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02
Question #: 668
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 Questions]

A company hosts a two-tier website that runs on Amazon EC2 instances. The website has a database that runs on Amazon RDS for MySQL. All users are required to log in to the website to see their own customized pages.
The website typically experiences low traffic. Occasionally, the website experiences sudden increases in traffic and becomes unresponsive. During these increases in traffic, the database experiences a heavy write load. A solutions architect must improve the website's availability without changing the application code.
What should the solutions architect do to meet these requirements?

  • A. Create an Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster. Configure the application to cache common database queries in the ElastiCache cluster.
  • B. Create an Auto Scaling group. Configure Amazon CloudWatch alarms to scale the number of EC2 instances based on the percentage of CPU in use during the traffic increases.
  • C. Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution that points to the EC2 instances as the origin. Enable caching of dynamic content, and configure a write throttle from the EC2 instances to the RDS database.
  • D. Migrate the database to an Amazon Aurora Serverless cluster. Set the maximum Aurora capacity units (ACUs) to a value high enough to respond to the traffic increases. Configure the EC2 instances to connect to the Aurora database.

A isn't correct. A is for read convenience not for write.

I think it's "A", ElastiCache can help accelerate write load processing.
