AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 410

Question

A company recently deployed an application in production. The production environment currently runs on a single Amazon EC2 instance that hosts the application's web application and a MariaDB database. Company policy states that all IT production environments must be highly available. What should a SysOps administrator do to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Migrate the database from the EC2 instance to an Amazon RDS for MariaDB Multi-AZ DB instance. Run the application on EC2 instances that are in an Auto Scaling group that extends across multiple Availability Zones. Pla... Auto Scaling adjusts capacity automatically to match demand, improving availability and cost efficiency. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
