Amazon Amazon Certifications DBS-C01 Questions & Answers

  • Question 191:

    An online retailer uses Amazon DynamoDB for its product catalog and order data. Some popular items have led to frequently accessed keys in the data, and the company is using DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) as the caching solution to cater to the frequently accessed keys. As the number of popular products is growing, the company realizes that more items need to be cached. The company observes a high cache miss rate and needs a solution to address this issue.

    What should a database specialist do to accommodate the changing requirements for DAX?

    A. Increase the number of nodes in the existing DAX cluster.

    B. Create a new DAX cluster with more nodes. Change the DAX endpoint in the application to point to the new cluster.

    C. Create a new DAX cluster using a larger node type. Change the DAX endpoint in the application to point to the new cluster.

    D. Modify the node type in the existing DAX cluster.

  • Question 192:

    A Database Specialist migrated an existing production MySQL database from on-premises to an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance. However, after the migration, the database needed to be encrypted at rest using AWS KMS. Due to the size of the database, reloading, the data into an encrypted database would be too time- consuming, so it is not an option.

    How should the Database Specialist satisfy this new requirement?

    A. Create a snapshot of the unencrypted RDS DB instance. Create an encrypted copy of the unencrypted snapshot. Restore the encrypted snapshot copy.

    B. Modify the RDS DB instance. Enable the AWS KMS encryption option that leverages the AWS CLI.

    C. Restore an unencrypted snapshot into a MySQL RDS DB instance that is encrypted.

    D. Create an encrypted read replica of the RDS DB instance. Promote it the master.

  • Question 193:

    A company wants to improve its ecommerce website on AWS. A database specialist decides to add Amazon ElastiCache for Redis in the implementation stack to ease the workload off the database and shorten the website response times. The database specialist must also ensure the ecommerce website is highly available within the company's AWS Region.

    How should the database specialist deploy ElastiCache to meet this requirement?

    A. Launch an ElastiCache for Redis cluster using the AWS CLI with the -cluster-enabled switch.

    B. Launch an ElastiCache for Redis cluster and select read replicas in different Availability Zones.

    C. Launch two ElastiCache for Redis clusters in two different Availability Zones. Configure Redis streams to replicate the cache from the primary cluster to another.

    D. Launch an ElastiCache cluster in the primary Availability Zone and restore the cluster's snapshot to a different Availability Zone during disaster recovery.

  • Question 194:

    An ecommerce company uses a backend application that stores data in an Amazon DynamoDB table. The backend application runs in a private subnet in a VPC and must connect to this table.

    The company must minimize any network latency that results from network connectivity issues, even during periods of heavy application usage. A database administrator also needs the ability to use a private connection to connect to the DynamoDB table from the application.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Use network ACLs to ensure that any outgoing or incoming connections to any port except DynamoDB are deactivated. Encrypt API calls by using TLS.

    B. Create a VPC endpoint for DynamoDB in the application's VPC. Use the VPC endpoint to access the table.

    C. Create an AWS Lambda function that has access to DynamoDB. Restrict outgoing access only to this Lambda function from the application.

    D. Use a VPN to route all communication to DynamoDB through the company's own corporate network infrastructure.

  • Question 195:

    A gaming company is designing a mobile gaming app that will be accessed by many users across the globe. The company wants to have replication and full support for multi-master writes. The company also wants to ensure low latency and consistent performance for app users.

    Which solution meets these requirements?

    A. Use Amazon DynamoDB global tables for storage and enable DynamoDB automatic scaling

    B. Use Amazon Aurora for storage and enable cross-Region Aurora Replicas

    C. Use Amazon Aurora for storage and cache the user content with Amazon ElastiCache

    D. Use Amazon Neptune for storage

  • Question 196:

    A company just migrated to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL from an on-premises Oracle database. After the migration, the company discovered there is a period of time every day around 3:00 PM where the response time of the application is noticeably slower. The company has narrowed down the cause of this issue to the database and not the application.

    Which set of steps should the Database Specialist take to most efficiently find the problematic PostgreSQL query?

    A. Create an Amazon CloudWatch dashboard to show the number of connections, CPU usage, and disk space consumption. Watch these dashboards during the next slow period.

    B. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance, and install and configure an open-source PostgreSQL monitoring tool that will run reports based on the output error logs.

    C. Modify the logging database parameter to log all the queries related to locking in the database and then check the logs after the next slow period for this information.

    D. Enable Amazon RDS Performance Insights on the PostgreSQL database. Use the metrics to identify any queries that are related to spikes in the graph during the next slow period.

  • Question 197:

    A company needs to migrate Oracle Database Standard Edition running on an Amazon EC2 instance to an Amazon RDS for Oracle DB instance with Multi-AZ. The database supports an ecommerce website that runs continuously. The company can only provide a maintenance window of up to 5 minutes.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Configure Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on the EC2 instance and the RDS DB instance. Update the connection string to point to the RAC cluster. Once the EC2 instance and RDS DB instance are in sync, fail over from Amazon EC2 to Amazon RDS.

    B. Export the Oracle database from the EC2 instance using Oracle Data Pump and perform an import into Amazon RDS. Stop the application for the entire process. When the import is complete, change the database connection string and then restart the application.

    C. Configure AWS DMS with the EC2 instance as the source and the RDS DB instance as the destination. Stop the application when the replication is in sync, change the database connection string, and then restart the application.

    D. Configure AWS DataSync with the EC2 instance as the source and the RDS DB instance as the destination. Stop the application when the replication is in sync, change the database connection string, and then restart the application.

  • Question 198:

    A business maintains a SQL Server database on-premises. Active Directory authentication is used to provide users access to the database. The organization transferred their database successfully to Amazon RDS for SQL Server. The organization, however, has reservations regarding user authentication in the AWS Cloud environment.

    Which authentication solution should a database professional provide?

    A. Deploy Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) on premises and configure it with an on-premises Active Directory. Set up delegation between the on- premises AD FS and AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to map user identities to a role using theAmazonRDSDirectoryServiceAccess managed IAM policy.

    B. Establish a forest trust between the on-premises Active Directory and AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory. Use AWS SSO to configure an Active Directory user delegated to access the databases in RDS for SQL Server.

    C. Use Active Directory Connector to redirect directory requests to the companyTMs on- premises Active Directory without caching any information in the cloud. Use the RDS master user credentials to connect to the DB instance and configure SQL Server logins and users from the Active Directory users and groups.

    D. Establish a forest trust between the on-premises Active Directory and AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory. Ensure RDS for SQL Server is using mixed mode authentication. Use the RDS master user credentials to connect to the DB instance and configure SQL Server logins and users from the Active Directory users and groups.

  • Question 199:

    A company stores session history for its users in an Amazon DynamoDB table. The company has a large user base and generates large amounts of session data.

    Teams analyze the session data for 1 week, and then the data is no longer needed. A database specialist needs to design an automated solution to purge session data that is more than 1 week old.

    Which strategy meets these requirements with the MOST operational efficiency?

    A. Create an AWS Step Functions state machine with a DynamoDB DeleteItem operation that uses the ConditionExpression parameter to delete items older than a week. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) scheduled rule that runs the Step Functions state machine on a weekly basis.

    B. Create an AWS Lambda function to delete items older than a week from the DynamoDB table. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) scheduled rule that triggers the Lambda function on a weekly basis.

    C. Enable Amazon DynamoDB Streams on the table. Use a stream to invoke an AWS Lambda function to delete items older than a week from the DynamoDB table

    D. Enable TTL on the DynamoDB table and set a Number data type as the TTL attribute. DynamoDB will automatically delete items that have a TTL that is less than the current time.

  • Question 200:

    A company's database specialist is building an Amazon RDS for Microsoft SQL Server DB instance to store hundreds of records in CSV format. A customer service tool uploads the records to an Amazon S3 bucket.

    An employee who previously worked at the company already created a custom stored procedure to map the necessary CSV fields to the database tables. The database specialist needs to implement a solution that reuses this previous work

    and minimizes operational overhead.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Create an Amazon S3 event to invoke an AWS Lambda function. Configure the Lambda function to parse the .csv file and use a SQL client library to run INSERT statements to load the data into the tables.

    B. Write a custom .NET app that is hosted on Amazon EC2. Configure the .NET app to load the .csv file and call the custom stored procedure to insert the data into the tables.

    C. Download the .csv file from Amazon S3 to the RDS D drive by using an AWS msdb stored procedure. Call the custom stored procedure to insert the data from the RDS D drive into the tables.

    D. Create an Amazon S3 event to invoke AWS Step Functions to parse the .csv file and call the custom stored procedure to insert the data into the tables.
