Question

A company collects and processes data from a vendor. The vendor stores its data in an Amazon RDS for MySQL database in the vendor's own AWS account. The company’s VPC does not have an internet gateway, an AWS Direct Connect connection, or an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection. The company needs to access the data that is in the vendor database. Which solution will meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Instruct the vendor to create a Network Load Balancer (NLB). Place the NLB in front of the Amazon RDS for MySQL database. Use AWS PrivateLink to integrate the company's VPC and the vendor's VPC. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. A Network Load Balancer handles very high throughput TCP/UDP traffic with ultra-low latency and static IPs. A load balancer distributes traffic across targets in multiple AZs for availability and scale.
