Question

A global ecommerce company runs its critical workloads on AWS. The workloads use an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DB instance that is configured for a Multi-AZ deployment. Customers have reported application timeouts when the company undergoes database failovers. The company needs a resilient solution to reduce failover time. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Create an Amazon RDS Proxy. Assign the proxy to the DB instance.
