AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 328

Question

A company is running production workloads that use a Multi-AZ deployment of an Amazon RDS for MySQL db.m6g.xlarge (general purpose) standard DB instance. Users report that they are frequently encountering a “too many connections” error. A SysOps administrator observes that the number of connections on the database is high. The SysOps administrator needs to resolve this issue while keeping code changes to a minimum. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Configure RDS Proxy. Modify the application configuration file to use the RDS Proxy endpoint. Amazon RDS Proxy pools and shares database connections to improve scalability and resilience. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
