Question

A financial services company launched a new application that uses an Amazon RDS for MySQL database. The company uses the application to track stock market trends. The company needs to operate the application for only 2 hours at the end of each week. The company needs to optimize the cost of running the database. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Migrate the existing RDS for MySQL database to an Aurora Serverless v2 MySQL database cluster. Aurora Serverless auto-scales database capacity and is cost-effective for variable workloads. Amazon Aurora is a high-performance managed relational database with built-in replication and failover. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
