Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 105 discussion

A finance company is running its business-critical application on current-generation Linux EC2 instances. The application includes a self-managed MySQL database performing heavy I/O operations. The application is working fine to handle a moderate amount of traffic during the month. However, it slows down during the final three days of each month due to month-end reporting, even though the company is using Elastic Load Balancers and Auto Scaling within its infrastructure to meet the increased demand.

Which of the following actions would allow the database to handle the month-end load with the LEAST impact on performance?

  • A. Pre-warming Elastic Load Balancers, using a bigger instance type, changing all Amazon EBS volumes to GP2 volumes.
  • B. Performing a one-time migration of the database cluster to Amazon RDS, and creating several additional read replicas to handle the load during end of month.
  • C. Using Amazon CloudWatch with AWS Lambda to change the type, size, or IOPS of Amazon EBS volumes in the cluster based on a specific CloudWatch metric.
  • D. Replacing all existing Amazon EBS volumes with new PIOPS volumes that have the maximum available storage size and I/O per second by taking snapshots before the end of the month and reverting back afterwards.

Selected Answer: B
B. Performing a one-time migration of the database cluster to Amazon RDS, and creating several additional read replicas to handle the load during end of month. This is the optimal solution as migrating the database to Amazon RDS will provide the ability to easily scale read replicas for handling increased read traffic during the end of the month. Additionally, RDS will manage the underlying infrastructure and provide automatic backups, software patching, and monitoring, which will reduce the operational overhead for the company. Option A may help but it will not be sufficient to handle the heavy load, option C and D are not efficient solutions to han

Selected Answer: D
I vote D To solve heavy IO issue, I think both option B and D both works.But the question demands for to "handle the month-end load with the LEAST impact on performance" , Option B create the new read replicas during end of month seems too complicated, you'll need to seperate read/write traffic from application at the end of the month.

Reporting is also an important hint. Only read operations are needed here; so read replicas would server the purpose
