Amazon Amazon Certifications DBS-C01 Questions & Answers

  • Question 241:

    A database specialist wants to ensure that an Amazon Aurora DB cluster is always automatically upgraded to the most recent minor version available. Noticing that there is a new minor version available, the database specialist has issues an AWS CLI command to enable automatic minor version updates. The command runs successfully, but checking the Aurora DB cluster indicates that no update to the Aurora version has been made.

    What might account for this? (Choose two.)

    A. The new minor version has not yet been designated as preferred and requires a manual upgrade.

    B. Configuring automatic upgrades using the AWS CLI is not supported. This must be enabled expressly using the AWS Management Console.

    C. Applying minor version upgrades requires sufficient free space.

    D. The AWS CLI command did not include an apply-immediately parameter.

    E. Aurora has detected a breaking change in the new minor version and has automatically rejected the upgrade.

  • Question 242:

    A company recently acquired a new business. A database specialist must migrate an unencrypted 12 TB Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance to a new AWS account. The database specialist needs to minimize the amount of time required to migrate the database.

    Which solution meets these requirements?

    A. Create a snapshot of the source DB instance in the source account. Share the snapshot with the destination account. In the target account, create a DB instance from the snapshot.

    B. Use AWS Resource Access Manager to share the source DB instance with the destination account. Create a DB instance in the destination account using the shared resource.

    C. Create a read replica of the DB instance. Give the destination account access to the read replica. In the destination account, create a snapshot of the shared read replica and provision a new RDS for MySQL DB instance.

    D. Use mysqldump to back up the source database. Create an RDS for MySQL DB instance in the destination account. Use the mysql command to restore the backup in the destination database.

  • Question 243:

    A business's production database is hosted on a single-node Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance. The database instance is hosted in a United States AWS Region.

    A week before a significant sales event, a fresh database maintenance update is released. The maintenance update has been designated as necessary. The firm want to minimize the database instance's downtime and requests that a

    database expert make the database instance highly accessible until the sales event concludes.

    Which solution will satisfy these criteria?

    A. Defer the maintenance update until the sales event is over.

    B. Create a read replica with the latest update. Initiate a failover before the sales event.

    C. Create a read replica with the latest update. Transfer all read-only traffic to the read replica during the sales event.

    D. Convert the DB instance into a Multi-AZ deployment. Apply the maintenance update.

  • Question 244:

    Developers have requested a new Amazon Redshift cluster so they can load new third- party marketing data. The new cluster is ready and the user credentials are given to the developers. The developers indicate that their copy jobs fail with

    the following error message:

    "Amazon Invalid operation: S3ServiceException:Access Denied,Status 403,Error AccessDenied."

    The developers need to load this data soon, so a database specialist must act quickly to solve this issue.

    What is the MOST secure solution?

    A. Create a new IAM role with the same user name as the Amazon Redshift developer user ID. Provide the IAM role with read-only access to Amazon S3 with the assume role action.

    B. Create a new IAM role with read-only access to the Amazon S3 bucket and include the assume role action. Modify the Amazon Redshift cluster to add the IAM role.

    C. Create a new IAM role with read-only access to the Amazon S3 bucket with the assume role action. Add this role to the developer IAM user ID used for the copy job that ended with an error message.

    D. Create a new IAM user with access keys and a new role with read-only access to the Amazon S3 bucket. Add this role to the Amazon Redshift cluster. Change the copy job to use the access keys created.

  • Question 245:

    On AWS, a business is developing a web application. The application needs that the database supports concurrent read and write activities in several AWS Regions. Additionally, the database must communicate data changes across Regions as they occur. The application must be highly available and have a latency of less than a few hundred milliseconds.

    Which solution satisfies these criteria?

    A. Amazon DynamoDB global tables

    B. Amazon DynamoDB streams with AWS Lambda to replicate the data

    C. An Amazon ElastiCache for Redis cluster with cluster mode enabled and multiple shards

    D. An Amazon Aurora global database

  • Question 246:

    A database specialist deployed an Amazon RDS DB instance in Dev-VPC1 used by their development team. Dev-VPC1 has a peering connection with Dev-VPC2 that belongs to a different development team in the same department. The networking team confirmed that the routing between VPCs is correct; however, the database engineers in Dev-VPC2 are getting a timeout connections error when trying to connect to the database in Dev- VPC1.

    What is likely causing the timeouts?

    A. The database is deployed in a VPC that is in a different Region.

    B. The database is deployed in a VPC that is in a different Availability Zone.

    C. The database is deployed with misconfigured security groups.

    D. The database is deployed with the wrong client connect timeout configuration.

  • Question 247:

    A Database Specialist is troubleshooting an application connection failure on an Amazon Aurora DB cluster with multiple Aurora Replicas that had been running with no issues for the past 2 months. The connection failure lasted for 5 minutes

    and corrected itself after that. The Database Specialist reviewed the Amazon RDS events and determined a failover event occurred at that time. The failover process took around 15 seconds to

    complete.

    What is the MOST likely cause of the 5-minute connection outage?

    A. After a database crash, Aurora needed to replay the redo log from the last database checkpoint

    B. The client-side application is caching the DNS data and its TTL is set too high

    C. After failover, the Aurora DB cluster needs time to warm up before accepting client connections

    D. There were no active Aurora Replicas in the Aurora DB cluster

  • Question 248:

    A company wants to migrate its on-premises MySQL databases to Amazon RDS for MySQL. To comply with the company's security policy, all databases must be encrypted at rest. RDS DB instance snapshots must also be shared across various accounts to provision testing and staging environments.

    Which solution meets these requirements?

    A. Create an RDS for MySQL DB instance with an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed CMK. Update the key policy to include the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the other AWS accounts as a principal, and then allow the kms:CreateGrant action.

    B. Create an RDS for MySQL DB instance with an AWS managed CMK. Create a new key policy to include the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the other AWS accounts as a principal, and then allow the kms:CreateGrant action.

    C. Create an RDS for MySQL DB instance with an AWS owned CMK. Create a new key policy to include the administrator user name of the other AWS accounts as a principal, and then allow the kms:CreateGrant action.

    D. Create an RDS for MySQL DB instance with an AWS CloudHSM key. Update the key policy to include the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the other AWS accounts as a principal, and then allow the kms:CreateGrant action.

  • Question 249:

    A security team is conducting an audit for a financial company. The security team discovers that the database credentials of an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB instance are hardcoded in the source code. The source code is stored in a shared

    location for automatic deployment and is exposed to all users who can access the location.

    A database specialist must use encryption to ensure that the credentials are not visible in the source code.

    Which solution will meet these requirements?

    A. Use an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key to encrypt the most recent database backup. Restore the backup as a new database to activate encryption.

    B. Store the source code to access the credentials in an AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store secure string parameter that is encrypted by AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). Access the code with calls to Systems Manager.

    C. Store the credentials in an AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store secure string parameter that is encrypted by AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS). Access the credentials with calls to Systems Manager.
