A media streaming company is designing a global application and needs to store user profiles in Amazon DynamoDB. The application must run in an active-active configuration across two AWS Regions: us-east-1 and us-west-2. The database configuration must support local read and write operations in both Regions, maintain replica synchronization with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of less than 1 second, and provide a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of near zero. Which database configuration should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

Create an Amazon DynamoDB global table replica in both us-east-1 and us-west-2.

Create a DynamoDB table in us-east-1, configure a Global Secondary Index (GSI) targeting us-west-2, and enable DynamoDB Streams to replicate write operations.

Deploy a DynamoDB table in us-east-1, configure an AWS Lambda function triggered by DynamoDB Streams to write updates to a DynamoDB table in us-west-2, and use Route 53 latency routing to distribute writes.

Configure a DynamoDB table in us-east-1, schedule an AWS Backup job to copy table backups to us-west-2 every 15 minutes, and deploy a warm standby table in us-west-2.

Cevap: Create an Amazon DynamoDB global table replica in both us-east-1 and us-west-2.

Cevap

Create an Amazon DynamoDB global table replica in both us-east-1 and us-west-2.

Creating an Amazon DynamoDB global table replica in both target regions provides a fully managed, active-active multi-region configuration. It automatically replicates changes across regions, delivering local read and write performance with near-zero RTO and an RPO of under one second.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the primary architectural requirements.

The requirements are multi-region active-active writes, sub-second RPO, and near-zero RTO.

This establishes the constraints needed to select the correct database configuration.

Evaluate the capabilities of Amazon DynamoDB Global Tables.

DynamoDB Global Tables are designed for active-active multi-region configurations, providing automatic bi-directional replication with sub-second latency.

This matches all stated RPO, RTO, and active-active constraints out of the box.

Verify if the distractors meet the constraints.

GSIs are single-region only; custom Lambda stream replication is prone to high latency and replication loops; backup strategies fail the sub-second RPO requirement.

This eliminates the incorrect configurations.

A media streaming platform needs to design a high-performing ingestion and transformation pipeline to process clickstream data generated by its web application. The platform receives user interaction events (play, pause, seek) at an average rate of $5\text{ MB/s}$ , peaking at $25\text{ MB/s}$ during major content releases.

The pipeline must satisfy two key requirements:
1. Deliver clickstream data with sub-second latency to a real-time personalization engine.
2. Store the clickstream data in Amazon S3 in Apache Parquet format, partitioned by date, with a maximum latency of 5 minutes for historical analytics.

Which combination of actions should a Solutions Architect recommend to build the most performant and scalable solution? (Select two.)

Cevap

To build a performant and scalable solution, configure an Amazon Kinesis Data Stream in on-demand capacity mode to ingest the clickstream events and serve the personalization engine, and configure an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to read from the stream, buffer the data for

300\text{ seconds}

, convert it to Apache Parquet using AWS Glue, and deliver it to Amazon S3.

The correct solution involves ingesting the clickstream data into an Amazon Kinesis Data Stream in on-demand capacity mode and utilizing Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to transform and load the data into Amazon S3. Kinesis Data Streams supports multiple consumers and provides sub-second latency for direct consumers like the personalization engine. Configuring Kinesis Data Streams in on-demand capacity mode allows it to scale automatically up to the peak write throughput of

25\text{ MB/s}

without manual provisioning. For downstream storage, Kinesis Data Firehose can consume from the same Kinesis Data Stream, buffer the records for

Cevap: Amazon Kinesis Data Streams configured in On-Demand capacity mode

Cevap

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams configured in On-Demand capacity mode

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams configured in On-Demand capacity mode is the correct choice because it automatically manages shard provisioning and scales capacity to accommodate the unpredictable, fluctuating data volume. This ensures high performance without manual administration or write throttling.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the workload characteristics and operational constraints.

The workload requires real-time streaming ingestion from

10,000

endpoints with unpredictable traffic fluctuations, zero manual shard management, and no write throttling.

This establishes the requirements for selecting a dynamically scaling real-time ingestion service.

Evaluate Kinesis Data Streams capacity modes.

On-Demand mode automatically allocates and scales shards based on data volume, whereas Provisioned mode requires manual scaling and risks throttling during traffic spikes.

On-Demand mode eliminates the operational overhead of shard calculations and manual adjustments.

Compare against queue and database alternatives.

SQS standard queues do not guarantee strict ordering, and DynamoDB Provisioned capacity mode does not scale instantly to handle rapid spikes without proactive provisioning.

This confirms that Kinesis Data Streams On-Demand is the optimal, low-overhead solution.

Cevap

Deploying AWS Transit Gateway with ECMP routing enabled to connect the VPCs, combined with establishing multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections over an AWS Direct Connect Transit VIF.

To achieve secure, encrypted transit at a throughput of

4\text{ Gbps}

, the organization must establish multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections over an AWS Direct Connect link. Since a single VPN tunnel is limited to

1.25\text{ Gbps}

of throughput, multiple tunnels must be combined using AWS Transit Gateway with Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) enabled. Terminating these VPN connections on the Transit Gateway over a Transit Virtual Interface (Transit VIF) ensures that traffic is encrypted while dynamically distributing the load across the tunnels.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the network bandwidth and encryption requirements.

Identify that the minimum throughput of

4\text{ Gbps}

exceeds the

1.25\text{ Gbps}

limit of a single AWS VPN tunnel, meaning multiple tunnels must be aggregated, and that Direct Connect traffic must be encrypted using IPsec VPN.

Establishing these parameters narrows down the solutions to multi-tunnel VPN over Direct Connect configurations.

Evaluate the scalability and routing mechanism.

Determine that AWS Transit Gateway is needed to enable Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing to load-balance and aggregate the throughput across at least four active VPN tunnels.

Transit Gateway allows central management of connections to multiple VPCs and supports ECMP for scaling VPN throughput.

Select the appropriate hybrid connectivity type.

Implement a Transit Virtual Interface (Transit VIF) on the AWS Direct Connect connection to route private IPsec VPN traffic directly to the AWS Transit Gateway.

A Transit VIF is required to connect AWS Direct Connect to a Transit Gateway, enabling VPN over Direct Connect for encrypted, high-bandwidth transit.

Cevap: Create an Amazon Kinesis Data Stream in On-Demand capacity mode to ingest the incoming vehicle telemetry.; Create an Amazon Data Firehose delivery stream configured with the Kinesis Data Stream as the source, enabling record format conversion to Apache Parquet using AWS Glue.

Cevap

The correct actions are to create an Amazon Kinesis Data Stream in On-Demand capacity mode to ingest the vehicle telemetry and create an Amazon Data Firehose delivery stream with the Kinesis Data Stream as the source, enabling record format conversion to Apache Parquet using AWS Glue.

An Amazon Kinesis Data Stream in On-Demand capacity mode handles the high peak ingestion throughput of

20\text{ MB/s}

and

10,000\text{ records/s}

automatically. Using Amazon Data Firehose to read from the stream and transform the JSON data into Parquet using AWS Glue provides a serverless, low-overhead solution that meets the latency target.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Calculate the peak ingestion throughput and record rate from the vehicle fleet telemetry.

Peak throughput is calculated as

\frac{50,000 \text{ vehicles} \times 2 \text{ KB}}{5 \text{ seconds}} = 20 \text{ MB/s}

, and peak message rate is

\frac{50,000 \text{ records}}{5 \text{ seconds}} = 10,000 \text{ records/s}

This establishes the performance limits that any selected AWS ingestion service must support without throttling.

Evaluate Kinesis Data Streams shard capacity modes against the calculated requirements.

A provisioned stream with 5 shards supports only

5 \text{ MB/s}

and

5,000 \text{ records/s}

, which is insufficient. An On-Demand stream automatically scales to handle up to

200 \text{ MB/s}

and

200,000 \text{ records/s}

, comfortably meeting the peak.

Choosing Kinesis Data Stream in On-Demand mode ensures write throughput capacity scales automatically to handle traffic spikes.

Select a serverless, low-overhead transformation and delivery mechanism to load data into S3.

Amazon Data Firehose integrates directly with Kinesis Data Streams as a source, performs inline format conversion to Apache Parquet using AWS Glue schema definitions, and writes the output directly to S3 within the 15-minute latency requirement.

This minimizes operational overhead by avoiding custom EC2 or Lambda code for formatting and buffering.

Cevap: Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA); Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval

Cevap

The correct configurations are Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) and Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval.

Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) and Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval are the correct choices. Both storage classes replicate data across at least three Availability Zones, ensuring high availability and resilience. Furthermore, both offer millisecond-level access, ensuring that archived logs can be retrieved well within the 10-minute SLA constraint.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the Availability Zone resilience requirement.

The storage solution must replicate data across multiple Availability Zones, which rules out single-AZ options.

This filters out configurations that are bound to a single Availability Zone, such as Amazon EBS volumes.

Evaluate the retrieval time constraints (Recovery Time Objective).

The target retrieval time must be under 10 minutes.

This filters out standard archive classes with long retrieval delays, such as Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval with Standard retrieval (3-5 hours) or Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive (12 hours).

An enterprise application uses an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database to manage critical transactions. The architecture must guarantee high availability (HA) within the primary Region ( $us-west-2$ ) with a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of less than $60$ seconds and a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of $0$ . For disaster recovery (DR) in a secondary Region ( $us-east-1$ ), the architecture must support a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of less than $15$ minutes. The secondary Region must also support read scaling for local analytics workloads. Which of the following database configurations meets these requirements with the least operational complexity?

Cevap: Configure the database as an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB cluster deployment in the primary Region. Create a cross-region read replica in the secondary Region to serve local analytics workloads.

Cevap

Configure the database as an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB cluster deployment in the primary Region, and create a cross-region read replica in the secondary Region to serve local analytics workloads.

The correct configuration utilizes an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB cluster deployment in the primary Region. Multi-AZ DB clusters provide high availability with a writer DB instance and two readable reader DB instances across three Availability Zones. Failovers in this configuration typically take less than

35

seconds, which satisfies the RTO of less than

60

seconds, and the replication is synchronous, guaranteeing an RPO of

0

. A cross-region read replica in the secondary Region provides asynchronous replication to meet the DR RPO requirement of less than

15

minutes and allows local analytics workloads to perform read operations without impacting the primary writer.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze high availability (HA) requirements for the primary database tier.

The requirement for an RPO of

0

means replication within the primary Region must be synchronous. The requirement for an RTO of less than

60

seconds points to an RDS Multi-AZ cluster deployment, which typically fails over in less than

35

seconds, compared to a standard Multi-AZ instance which can take

60

120

seconds.

This rules out single-AZ deployments utilizing asynchronous read replicas for HA.

Evaluate disaster recovery (DR) and read scaling constraints in the secondary Region.

The database must support an RPO of less than

15

minutes in the secondary Region and allow read scaling for analytics.

Creating a cross-region read replica satisfies both constraints because replication is continuous (typically sub-minute lag, well under the

15

-minute RPO limit) and the replica can serve local read queries directly.

Assess failover and routing mechanisms.

Confirm that database write failovers across regions are not handled by passive read replicas directly, and that Route 53 Latency routing without health checks is insufficient.

This guarantees that the design relies on the native automated failover capabilities of the Multi-AZ DB cluster for local outages, and standard read replica promotion procedures for disaster recovery.

A financial services company hosts a high-frequency trading dashboard on Amazon EC2 instances located in private subnets of a VPC. The application performs millions of read queries per second against an Amazon DynamoDB table containing real-time stock market ticker symbols. The dashboard requires sub-millisecond response times for read operations. During peak market hours, read throughput spikes dramatically, causing DynamoDB throttling and increased latency. The solutions architect must design a high-performing and cost-effective caching solution to solve this performance bottleneck. Which architecture will meet these requirements with the lowest latency and optimal cost-efficiency?

Deploy an Amazon CloudFront distribution in front of an Application Load Balancer that routes requests to the EC2 instances. To ensure the dashboard always displays real-time stock ticker data, configure the CloudFront cache behavior with a Minimum TTL, Maximum TTL, and Default TTL of 0 seconds.

Implement an application-level caching mechanism that writes queried ticker data as temporary JSON files to an Amazon S3 bucket. Configure the S3 bucket to use the Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) storage class, and use an S3 Lifecycle rule to expire objects after 24 hours.

Cevap: Provision an Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) cluster in the VPC subnets where the EC2 instances reside. Update the application configuration to use the DAX client SDK to query the DAX cluster endpoint instead of the database table directly.

Cevap

Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is an in-memory, fully managed write-through cache designed specifically for Amazon DynamoDB. It reduces read response times to microseconds (sub-millisecond) and offloads read capacity requirements from the database table. Because it runs inside the VPC and integrates transparently via the DAX SDK, it is the most performant and cost-effective solution for read-heavy stock ticker workloads.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze performance and database constraints

Workload requires sub-millisecond (microsecond) latency under millions of read queries per second against Amazon DynamoDB, while minimizing costs.

This establishes the requirement for an in-memory caching layer that sits directly in front of DynamoDB to prevent throttling and latency spikes.

Evaluate Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) for performance and integration

DAX delivers microsecond latency, integrates seamlessly with the DynamoDB API, requires no application rewrite of query logic, and offloads read capacity requirements directly.

DAX is the native caching layer for DynamoDB and provides the lowest latency path with minimal management overhead.

Identify architectural and financial flaws in alternative options

Using CloudFront with TTL=0 eliminates caching benefits; using S3 Standard-IA for short-lived assets incurs a 30-day minimum storage charge penalty; using a NAT Gateway for high-volume S3 traffic incurs excessive data transfer processing fees.

These alternatives violate either performance (latency) or cost-efficiency constraints, failing to provide a high-performing architecture.

Alternatif Yöntem

Alternatively, if the application was built on a relational database like Amazon RDS, Amazon ElastiCache (Redis OSS or Memcached) could be used to cache query results at the application layer, though it requires custom cache invalidation logic compared to the seamless integration of DAX with DynamoDB.

A logistics corporation is migrating its containerized supply-chain optimization suite to AWS. The suite will run on Amazon ECS using AWS Fargate and consists of three primary workloads:

1. A core dispatch coordination engine that runs $24/7$ , requiring a constant baseline of $16\text{ vCPUs}$ and $64\text{ GB}$ of RAM.
2. A route-recalculation batch process that runs for $8$ hours daily ( $00:00$ to $08:00$ UTC). This process is highly parallelizable, state-resilient, and can resume from checkpoints if interrupted.
3. A continuous, non-interruptible inventory sync process that monitors external warehouse API streams, requiring a steady $8\text{ vCPUs}$ and $32\text{ GB}$ of RAM.

The database tier utilizes a production Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL cluster that runs continuously with a predictable database load. The route-recalculation process also downloads terabytes of historical logs from Amazon S3 and writes results to Aurora.

Which architecture and purchasing strategy provides the most cost-optimized compute and data transfer solution while meeting all workload SLAs?

Implement ECS Fargate with a Compute Savings Plan sized to cover the combined baseline of the dispatch coordination engine and the inventory sync process. Execute the route-recalculation batch tasks using the ECS Fargate Spot capacity provider, establish an Amazon S3 Gateway VPC Endpoint to bypass NAT Gateway data transfer charges, and purchase Aurora Reserved DB Instances for the database cluster.

Purchase a Compute Savings Plan with a commitment level sized to cover the dispatch coordination engine, the inventory sync process, and the Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database instance hours.

Cevap: Implement ECS Fargate with a Compute Savings Plan sized to cover the combined baseline of the dispatch coordination engine and the inventory sync process. Execute the route-recalculation batch tasks using the ECS Fargate Spot capacity provider, establish an Amazon S3 Gateway VPC Endpoint to bypass NAT Gateway data transfer charges, and purchase Aurora Reserved DB Instances for the database cluster.

Cevap

The correct option combines the most cost-effective AWS compute purchasing strategies with network data transfer optimization. The predictable, 24/7 ECS Fargate tasks are covered by a Compute Savings Plan. The daily, interruptible batch workloads are executed using ECS Fargate Spot to leverage maximum discounts. Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database instances are covered by Aurora Reserved DB Instances because Compute Savings Plans do not apply to database services. Lastly, an Amazon S3 Gateway VPC Endpoint is configured to eliminate costly NAT Gateway data transfer charges for historical logs transferred to and from S3.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Configure the Amazon RDS DB instance as a Multi-AZ deployment.

Cevap

Configure the Amazon RDS DB instance as a Multi-AZ deployment.

Configuring the Amazon RDS DB instance as a Multi-AZ deployment is correct because it automatically provisions and maintains a synchronous standby replica in a different Availability Zone. If the primary instance fails, AWS automatically switches to the standby replica, providing high availability and automatic failover with minimal disruption and no manual intervention.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the requirements for high availability and automatic failover within the same AWS Region with minimal administrative effort.

Identify that the solution must provide synchronous replication and automated failover capabilities without requiring manual promotion or custom failover scripts.

This establishes the baseline criteria for evaluating AWS database configurations.

Evaluate Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployments against the requirements.

Confirm that Multi-AZ deployments provide automatic failover to a synchronous standby instance in a different Availability Zone during an outage.

This configuration directly satisfies the high availability and automatic failover requirements with zero administrative overhead.

Assess alternative options like read replicas and Route 53 routing.

Determine that read replicas require manual intervention to promote them to primary, and Route 53 routing policies cannot perform database-level failovers.

This eliminates incorrect configurations that fail to provide automatic failover.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)

Cevap

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) is the correct choice because it is a fully managed file system designed to be shared concurrently by multiple EC2 instances using the NFS protocol, and it automatically scales storage capacity up or down as files are written or deleted.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the application requirements.

The application requires shared, concurrent read/write access to a directory, standard file system operations (POSIX compliance), and automatic capacity scaling for a dynamic fleet of Linux EC2 instances.

Identifying these key parameters narrows down the choices between block, file, and object storage.

Evaluate the storage services against the requirements.

Amazon EFS fits because it is a managed file system that supports concurrent NFS access and auto-scaling. EBS volumes are block-level and generally attached to a single instance (or restricted by Multi-Attach limitations). S3 Glacier is an archive service with high latency.

Matching AWS storage service characteristics to the workload constraints ensures the selection of the correct service.

Cevap: Create an AWS Transit Gateway and enable Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing support.; Establish multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections terminating on the Transit Gateway, utilizing dynamic BGP routing.

Cevap

The correct configurations are to create an AWS Transit Gateway with Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing support enabled, and to establish multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections terminating on the Transit Gateway using dynamic BGP routing.

To achieve a secure, encrypted connection over the internet that exceeds the

1.25\text{ Gbps}

limit of a single VPN tunnel, you must deploy AWS Transit Gateway with Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing enabled. By establishing multiple Site-to-Site VPN connections to the Transit Gateway using dynamic BGP routing, AWS can balance the replication traffic across multiple active tunnels, scaling the aggregate throughput to meet the

2.5\text{ Gbps}

peak requirement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the throughput and encryption requirements.

The replication requires

2.5\text{ Gbps}

throughput with in-transit encryption over the internet.

This establishes the scale constraint, as a single standard AWS VPN tunnel provides only

1.25\text{ Gbps}

of bandwidth.

Determine the service required to aggregate multiple VPN tunnels.

Identify AWS Transit Gateway with ECMP enabled as the solution.

ECMP allows traffic to be balanced across multiple VPN tunnels, effectively scaling the bandwidth beyond the single-tunnel limit.

Select the appropriate routing and connection setup.

Configure multiple Site-to-Site VPN connections using dynamic BGP routing to the Transit Gateway.

Dynamic routing enables ECMP to distribute the traffic across the active paths, achieving the aggregate bandwidth needed for the peak workload.

Cevap

The correct combination is to provision an Amazon Kinesis Data Stream with 220 shards to ingest the incoming event stream, and use Amazon Data Firehose in parallel with AWS Lambda as consumers of the stream to deliver data to Amazon S3 and Amazon OpenSearch Service respectively.

Provisioning 220 shards on the Amazon Kinesis Data Stream accommodates the

216\text{ MB/s}

throughput and

180,000

events/sec spike requirements. Connecting Amazon Data Firehose for S3 delivery and AWS Lambda for OpenSearch delivery in parallel allows the system to support different processing patterns: Firehose handles structured batch ingestion and conversion to Parquet, whereas Lambda achieves the sub-second response times required for OpenSearch dashboards.

Peak rate is

120,000

records/sec at

180,000

records/sec at

216\text{ MB/s}

180,000 \times 1.2\text{ KB}

Sizing the ingestion layer requires calculating both the records per second and the MB/s payload size at the maximum expected spike rate.

Determine the required number of Kinesis Data Streams shards.

Each shard supports

1,000

records/sec or

1\text{ MB/s}

write throughput. To support

180,000

records/sec, we need at least

180

shards. To support

216\text{ MB/s}

throughput, we need at least

216

shards. We select the option with 220 shards.

Provisioning must meet the highest requirement from both records/sec and MB/s dimensions to prevent ingestion bottlenecks.

Choose the high-performing ingestion consumer architecture for multi-destination delivery.

Configure Amazon Data Firehose as a consumer to convert records to Parquet via AWS Glue and deliver to S3 within 5 minutes. Set up AWS Lambda to consume from the same stream and push directly to Amazon OpenSearch Service.

Cevap

Enable Amazon API Gateway caching for the catalog search API stages, and deploy an Amazon CloudFront distribution with the Amazon S3 bucket configured as the origin.

To optimize the application for performance and cost under peak load, a multi-tiered caching approach is required. Enabling Amazon API Gateway caching at the API stage level reduces read requests to Amazon DynamoDB by returning cached responses for identical queries. Simultaneously, deploying an Amazon CloudFront distribution with the Amazon S3 bucket as the origin caches static product images at edge locations globally, which minimizes retrieval latency for remote users and protects the S3 bucket from request overload.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the workload characteristics for dynamic catalog queries.

Provision an Amazon EBS io2 volume, enable EBS Multi-Attach, and mount the volume across the EC2 database instances.

The correct option is correct because Amazon EBS Multi-Attach enables attaching a single Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1 or io2) volume to up to

16

Nitro-based EC2 instances in the same Availability Zone. Furthermore, io2 volumes natively support SCSI-3 persistent reservations, which are a prerequisite for clustered database deployments requiring node fencing, while offering consistent sub-millisecond latency.

Cevap: Deploy an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB cluster with one primary writer instance and two readable standby instances across three Availability Zones.

Cevap

Deploying an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB cluster with one primary writer instance and two readable standby instances across three Availability Zones is the correct configuration.

Deploying an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB cluster provides synchronous replication across three Availability Zones (ensuring RPO = 0) and automated failover that typically completes in under 35 seconds (meeting the RTO requirement). Crucially, unlike standard Multi-AZ DB instance deployments, the standby instances in a Multi-AZ DB cluster are readable, allowing the application to offload read traffic directly to them.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Evaluate the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirement.

To achieve an RPO of 0 (zero data loss), the database must use synchronous replication across Availability Zones.

Asynchronous replication mechanisms, such as standard RDS Read Replicas, can lead to data loss during failover.

Evaluate the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and read-scaling requirements.

The database must support automatic failover in under 35 seconds and allow read queries to be served from standby nodes.

Standard Multi-AZ DB instance deployments do not support read queries on the standby instance. Multi-AZ DB clusters provide both automatic failover (typically under 35 seconds) and readable standby instances.

Select the configuration that satisfies all conditions.

An Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB cluster meets all RPO, RTO, and read-scaling requirements.

It deploys one writer and two readable standby DB instances across three AZs with synchronous replication and automated failover.

Anahtar Kavram

Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB clusters provide synchronous replication, fast automated failover, and active readable standby instances for scaling read traffic.
