A Database Specialist modified an existing parameter group currently associated with a production Amazon RDS for SQL Server Multi-AZ DB instance. The change is associated with a static parameter type, which controls the number of user connections allowed on the most critical RDS SQL Server DB instance for the company. This change has been approved for a specific maintenance window to help minimize the impact on users.
How should the Database Specialist apply the parameter group change for the DB instance?
A financial services company runs an on-premises MySQL database for a critical application. The company is dissatisfied with its current database disaster recovery (DR) solution. The application experiences a significant amount of downtime whenever the database fails over to its DR facility. The application also experiences slower response times when reports are processed on the same database. To minimize the downtime in DR situations, the company has decided to migrate the database to AWS. The company requires a solution that is highly available and the most cost-effective.
Which solution meets these requirements?
A company requires near-real-time notifications when changes are made to Amazon RDS DB security groups.
Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST operational overhead?
A worldwide digital advertising corporation collects browser information in order to provide targeted visitors with contextually relevant pictures, websites, and connections. A single page load may create many events, each of which must be kept separately. A single event may have a maximum size of 200 KB and an average size of 10 KB. Each page load requires a query of the user's browsing history in order to deliver suggestions for targeted advertising. The advertising corporation anticipates daily page views of more than 1 billion from people in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and India. The information structure differs according to the event. Additionally, browsing information must be written and read with a very low latency to guarantee that consumers have a positive viewing experience.
Which database solution satisfies these criteria?
A company uses an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance for its customer relationship management (CRM) system. New compliance requirements specify that the database must be encrypted at rest.
Which action will meet these requirements?
A financial services company has an application deployed on AWS that uses an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster. A recent audit showed that no log files contained database administrator activity. A database specialist needs to recommend a solution to provide database access and activity logs. The solution should use the least amount of effort and have a minimal impact on performance.
Which solution should the database specialist recommend?
