Hello AKnox67,
Thank you for your feedback.
In the first scenario, the electronics company’s website is dealing with a high request volume, and the main goal is to improve the RDS MySQL database performance. While sharding could be effective, it also introduces complexity and additional resource requirements. This might not be the most cost-effective solution compared to other options. Therefore, the answer “Configure the database tier to use sharding” is considered less cost-effective. Take note that the question specifically asks for the two most cost-effective options.
Please consider each question’s unique requirements when evaluating solutions. Also, read the explanations for each question to understand the reasoning behind the choices.
I hope this helps! Let us know if you need any further assistance.
