How did you know that there's no Read Replica?

[Otep]

I’m trying to understand below explanation from one of your question but still can’t get it. The part I’m confused at is this part – “the Aurora database does not have a Read Replica and is not configured as an Amazon Aurora DB cluster”. How did you know that there’s no Read Replica?

Migrating your Oracle data to Amazon Aurora by converting the database schema using AWS Schema Conversion Tool and AWS Database Migration Service is incorrect because although this solution is feasible, it takes time to migrate your Oracle database to Aurora which is not acceptable. Based on this option, the Aurora database does not have a Read Replica and is not configured as an Amazon Aurora DB cluster, which could have improved the availability of the database.

Hi Otep,

Thanks for your feedback.

Can you post here the whole question? The questions are randomized and I can’t seem to search which particular question you are pertaining to.

Thanks and regards,

Here’s the question:

A Forex trading platform, which frequently processes and stores global financial data every minute, is hosted in your on-premises data center and uses an Oracle database. Due to a recent cooling problem in their data center, the company urgently needs to migrate their infrastructure to AWS to improve the performance of their applications. As the Solutions Architect, you are responsible in ensuring that the database is properly migrated and should remain available in case of database server failure in the future.

Which of the following is the most suitable solution to meet the requirement?

Hello Otep,

Thanks for your reply.

I think the explanation pertains to the on-premises Oracle database which does not have a slave or read-replica that can be used for the Schema Conversion Tool. Since conversion will take some time, you don’t want to use your master database for the schema conversion.

Still, the explanation will need improvement and we will update it to minimize any misunderstanding.

Thanks and Regards,

I am also not quite sure about the answer for this question. It mentions migration from on-prem to AWS. However, the correct answer, creating an Oracle database in RDS with Multi-AZ deployments does not seem to take account the migration. Can you elaborate?

Hi masoodov,

Thank you for sharing your opinion on this scenario. Your point is valid. The correct option seems incomplete.

We have overhauled the scenario, and the change will be reflected in our practice exams soon.
