Zorluk: OrtaIdentifying and Cleaning Up Underutilized Resources

A SysOps administrator is reviewing the AWS Trusted Advisor Cost Optimization reports for a production account and notes that several Amazon RDS DB instances have been flagged by the 'Amazon RDS Idle DB Instances' check for having zero connections over the past 14 days. The administrator must decommission these DB instances to optimize costs while ensuring that the databases can be restored in the future if required. Which two actions should the administrator take to clean up these underutilized resources in the most cost-effective and safe manner? (Select TWO.)

  1. Create a final DB snapshot of each idle DB instance.Cevap
  2. Delete the idle DB instances.Cevap
  3. C
    Stop the DB instances to permanently eliminate both compute and storage charges.
  4. D
    Delete the DB instances directly without a snapshot, relying on CloudWatch log groups with indefinite retention to reconstruct the database data.
  5. E
    Enable detailed monitoring on the DB instances and configure a static budget alert in AWS Budgets to auto-terminate the instances when charges occur.

Cevap

To safely and cost-effectively clean up the idle RDS DB instances, the administrator should create a final DB snapshot of each instance to ensure data durability, and then delete the DB instances to stop all associated compute and storage charges.
To decommission underutilized RDS DB instances safely and cost-effectively, the administrator must stop ongoing charges while preserving the data for potential future use. Creating a final DB snapshot ensures that a backup exists, and deleting the DB instances stops all compute and storage charges.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the underutilized RDS DB instances flagged by AWS Trusted Advisor.
A clear list of candidate DB instances to be decommissioned is determined.
Ensures that only the flagged, unused resources are targeted for cleanup.
2
Initiate the deletion process of each DB instance, choosing to capture a final DB snapshot.
A final DB snapshot is created before the instance is terminated.
Provides a reliable backup that can be used to restore the DB instance in the future if needed.
3
Delete the RDS DB instances.
The instances are deleted, stopping all compute and storage charges.
Eliminates ongoing costs for resources that are no longer in use.

Anahtar Kavram

Safely decommissioning underutilized RDS instances involves capturing a final DB snapshot to preserve data before deleting the instance to stop all compute and storage costs.
