A company is running a website on Amazon EC2 instances deployed in multiple Availability Zones (AZs). The site performs a high number of repetitive reads and writes each second on an Amazon RDS for MySQL Multi- AZ DB instance with General Purpose SSD (gp2) storage. After comprehensive testing and analysis, a database specialist discovers that there is high read latency and high CPU utilization on the DB instance.
Which approach should the database specialist to take to resolve this issue without changing the application?

A database professional is tasked with the task of migrating 25 GB of data files from an on-premises storage system to an Amazon Neptune database.
Which method of data loading is the FASTEST?
Correct Answer:
A

* 5. The Neptune DB instance assumes the IAM role to load the data from the bucket.
A business's production databases are housed on a 3 TB Amazon Aurora MySQL DB cluster. The database cluster is installed in the region us-east-1. For disaster recovery (DR) requirements, the company's database expert needs to fast deploy the DB cluster in another AWS Region to handle the production load with an RTO of less than two hours.
Which approach is the MOST OPERATIONALLY EFFECTIVE in meeting these requirements?
Correct Answer:
B
RTO is 2 hours. With 3 TB database, cross-region replica is a better option
A company uses an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance for its customer relationship management (CRM) system. New compliance requirements specify that the database must be encrypted at rest.
Which action will meet these requirements?
Correct Answer:
A
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/patterns/encrypt-an-existing-amazon-rds-for-postgresq You can enable encryption for an Amazon RDS DB instance when you create it, but not after it's created.
However, you can add encryption to an unencrypted DB instance by creating a snapshot of your DB instance, and then creating an encrypted copy of that snapshot. You can then restore a DB instance from the encrypted snapshot to get an encrypted copy of your original DB instance. The pattern uses AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate data and AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) for encryption.
