Question 10

A company is migrating a large, mission-critical database to AWS. A solutions architect has decided to use an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi-AZ DB instance that is deployed with 80,000 Provisioned IOPS for storage. The solutions architect is using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to perform the data migration. The migration is taking longer than expected, and the company wants to speed up the process. The company’s network team has ruled out bandwidth as a limiting factor.

Which actions should the solutions architect take to speed up the migration? (Choose two.)

Select all that apply, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    Disable Multi-AZ on the target DB instance.
  • ○

    Create a new DMS instance that has a larger instance size.
  • ○

    Turn off logging on the target DB instance until the initial load is complete.
  • ○

    Restart the DMS task on a new DMS instance with transfer acceleration enabled.
  • ○

    Change the storage type on the target DB instance to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) General Purpose SSD (gp2).
Question 11

A company is running a media store across multiple Amazon EC2 instances distributed across multiple Availability Zones in a single VPC. The company wants a high-performing solution to share data between all the EC2 instances, and prefers to keep the data within the VPC only.

Question 12

A company recently started using Amazon Aurora as the data store for its global ecommerce application.

    Migrate the monthly reporting to Amazon Redshift.
  • ○

    Migrate the monthly reporting to an Aurora Replica.
  • ○

    Migrate the Aurora database to a larger instance class.
  • ○

    Increase the Provisioned IOPS on the Aurora instance.
