Amazon Amazon Certifications DBS-C01 Questions & Answers

  • Question 141:

    A company is using an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance for its internal applications. A security audit shows that the DB instance is not encrypted at rest. The company's application team needs to encrypt the DB instance.

    What should the team do to meet this requirement?

    A. Stop the DB instance and modify it to enable encryption. Apply this setting immediately without waiting for the next scheduled RDS maintenance window.

    B. Stop the DB instance and create an encrypted snapshot. Restore the encrypted snapshot to a new encrypted DB instance. Delete the original DB instance, and update the applications to point to the new encrypted DB instance.

    C. Stop the DB instance and create a snapshot. Copy the snapshot into another encrypted snapshot. Restore the encrypted snapshot to a new encrypted DB instance. Delete the original DB instance, and update the applications to point to the new encrypted DB instance.

    D. Create an encrypted read replica of the DB instance. Promote the read replica to master. Delete the original DB instance, and update the applications to point to the new encrypted DB instance.

  • Question 142:

    A company is looking to migrate a 1 TB Oracle database from on-premises to an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster. The company's Database Specialist discovered that the Oracle database is storing 100 GB of large binary objects (LOBs) across multiple tables. The Oracle database has a maximum LOB size of 500 MB with an average LOB size of 350 MB. The Database Specialist has chosen AWS DMS to migrate the data with the largest replication instances. How should the Database Specialist optimize the database migration using AWS DMS?

    A. Create a single task using full LOB mode with a LOB chunk size of 500 MB to migrate the data and LOBs together

    B. Create two tasks: task1 with LOB tables using full LOB mode with a LOB chunk size of 500 MB and task2 without LOBs

    C. Create two tasks: task1 with LOB tables using limited LOB mode with a maximum LOB size of 500 MB and task 2 without LOBs

  • Question 143:

    A company stores critical data for a department in Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instances. The department was closed for 3 weeks and notified a database specialist that access to the RDS DB instances should not be granted to anyone during this time. To meet this requirement, the database specialist stopped all the DB instances used by the department but did not select the option to create a snapshot. Before the 3 weeks expired, the database specialist discovered that users could connect to the database successfully.

    What could be the reason for this?

    A. When stopping the DB instance, the option to create a snapshot should have been selected.

    B. When stopping the DB instance, the duration for stopping the DB instance should have been selected.

    C. Stopped DB instances will automatically restart if the number of attempted connections exceeds the threshold set.

    D. Stopped DB instances will automatically restart if the instance is not manually started after 7 days.

  • Question 144:

    A database specialist is planning to migrate a 4 TB Microsoft SQL Server DB instance from on premises to Amazon RDS for SQL Server. The database is primarily used for nightly batch processing.

    Which RDS storage option meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

    A. General Purpose SSD storage

    B. Provisioned IOPS storage

    C. Magnetic storage

    D. Throughput Optimized hard disk drives (HDD)

  • Question 145:

    A large financial services company uses Amazon ElastiCache for Redis for its new application that has a global user base. A database administrator must develop a caching solution that will be available across AWS Regions and include low-latency replication and failover capabilities for disaster recovery (DR). The company's security team requires the encryption of cross- Region data transfers.

    Which solution meets these requirements with the LEAST amount of operational effort?

    A. Enable cluster mode in ElastiCache for Redis. Then create multiple clusters across Regions and replicate the cache data by using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). Promote a cluster in the failover Region to handle production traffic when DR is required.

    B. Create a global datastore in ElastiCache for Redis. Then create replica clusters in two other Regions. Promote one of the replica clusters as primary when DR is required.

    C. Disable cluster mode in ElastiCache for Redis. Then create multiple replication groups across Regions and replicate the cache data by using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS). Promote a replication group in the failover Region to primary when DR is required.

    D. Create a snapshot of ElastiCache for Redis in the primary Region and copy it to the failover Region. Use the snapshot to restore the cluster from the failover Region when DR is required.

  • Question 146:

    A company uses an on-premises Microsoft SQL Server database to host relational and JSON data and to run daily ETL and advanced analytics. The company wants to migrate the database to the AWS Cloud. Database specialist must choose one or more AWS services to run the company's workloads.

    Which solution will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient manner?

    A. Use Amazon Redshift for relational data. Use Amazon DynamoDB for JSON data

    B. Use Amazon Redshift for relational data and JSON data.

    C. Use Amazon RDS for relational data. Use Amazon Neptune for JSON data

    D. Use Amazon Redshift for relational data. Use Amazon S3 for JSON data.

  • Question 147:

    A small startup firm wishes to move a 4 TB MySQL database from on-premises to AWS through an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance.

    Which migration approach would result in the LEAST amount of downtime?

    A. Deploy a new RDS for MySQL DB instance and configure it for access from the on- premises data center. Use the mysqldump utility to create an initial snapshot from the on- premises MySQL server, and copy it to an Amazon S3 bucket. Import the snapshot into the DB instance utilizing the MySQL utilities running on an Amazon EC2 instance. Immediately point the application to the DB instance.

    B. Deploy a new Amazon EC2 instance, install the MySQL software on the EC2 instance, and configure networking for access from the on-premises data center. Use the mysqldump utility to create a snapshot of the on-premises MySQL

    server. Copy the snapshot into the EC2 instance and restore it into the EC2 MySQL instance. Use AWS DMS to migrate data into a new RDS for MySQL DB instance. Point the application to the DB instance.

    C. Deploy a new Amazon EC2 instance, install the MySQL software on the EC2 instance, and configure networking for access from the on-premises data center. Use the mysqldump utility to create a snapshot of the on-premises MySQL server. Copy the snapshot into an Amazon S3 bucket and import the snapshot into a new RDS for MySQL DB instance using the MySQL utilities running on an EC2 instance. Point the application to the DB instance.

    D. Deploy a new RDS for MySQL DB instance and configure it for access from the on- premises data center. Use the mysqldump utility to create an initial snapshot from the on- premises MySQL server, and copy it to an Amazon S3 bucket. Import the snapshot into the DB instance using the MySQL utilities running on an Amazon EC2 instance. Establish replication into the new DB instance using MySQL replication. Stop application access to the on-premises MySQL server and let the remaining transactions replicate over. Point the application to the DB instance.
