I believe the answer to this question is incorrect. I selected D, but got it wrong. Dojo said A is the correct answer.

I checked Aurora QnA and answer D is recommended, not option A.

26. QUESTION

Category: CSAA – Design Resilient Architectures

An online registration system hosted in an Amazon EKS cluster stores data to a db.t4g.medium Amazon Aurora DB cluster. The database performs well during regular hours but is unable to handle the traffic surge that occurs during flash sales. A solutions architect must move the database to Aurora Serverless while minimizing downtime and the impact on the operation of the application.

Which change should be taken to meet the objective?

<ul data-question_id=”10474″ data-type=”single”>
Use Database migration service (AWS DMS)
Add an Aurora replica as sever less, failover to new cluster
Change the class to server less
Take a snapshot of the DB cluster. Use the snapshot to create a new Aurora DB cluster.

Hello jkstudy,

Thanks for the feedback.

Based on the given explanation, the option that says: Take a snapshot of the DB cluster. Use the snapshot to create a new Aurora DB cluster is incorrect because it involves a long period of downtime since you have to stop the application until the new cluster is created.

Could you please explain further why this is the correct answer?

Regards,
JR @ Tutorials Dojo
